Naked Woman in a Ferrari stops for cigarettes.

Yes you read that right. Customers and staff at a petrol station near the town of Dömitz, Germany looked on admiringly as a splendid red Ferrari F430 pulled up at the forecourt.

Then came the "drop your bratwurst" moment as a naked blonde climbed out of the passenger seat, and wearing nothing more than a pair of gold stilettos (this is Germany, remember), along with a watch, a bracelet and belly chain, not to mention some substantial tattoos, proceeded to walk into the garage and purchase 6 packets of cigarettes. (The lady behind the counter helpfully confirmed that the mystery nudist was carrying cash in her hand.)

The unclothed Teutonic maiden then calmly walked back to the waiting Ferrari climbed back in, and she and her unseen companion sped off like the proverbial Valkyrie.

But not before a young snapper named Karsten had bagged a couple of photos of the unclad passenger, and, like a true gent, he has published them on the net and had them published in the tabloid Bild. (Summary in english.)





But the question remains, why?

Bild suggested that perhaps the Ferrari's air conditioning was broken.
Maybe she was so desperate for a post-coital cigarette that she didn't stop to put clothes on?

I guess we'll never know.

But I have checked, and as far as I can tell, if you have a crash whilst driving naked, you will still be covered by your car insurance, although you may be arrested for something else!

Expensive Mistake by careless Ferrari Driver

If you are lucky enough to own a powerful rear-wheel drive car, whether it be something as exclusive as a Ferrari or something just a little more down to earth, like a Lotus or TVR, you need to be careful that you don't lose control.

That's why we offer such a massive discount on performance car insurance to owners who have completed a course like Ride Drive.

So if you're lucky enough to have a dream car, think about improving your driving, or you'll end up looking like a big wally - just ask this guy:



And if he doesn't convince you, you could ask this Mustang driver.

Influx and Ferrari

Everyone with an insurance policy with Adrian Flux should by now have received their copy of influx, the Adrian Flux magazine. As we've mentioned before, we didn't want to just produce an ordinary, boring, corporate magazine that was full of puff pieces about us.

So instead we packed it full with really awesome pictures of some of our favourite cars and bikes, professionally produced articles that any enthusiast would like to read, as well as some of our customer's own cars with a story to tell.

The end result is, in our opinion, the best car magazine in the UK.

The latest issue is crammed with features on Surfers and their Surf Wagons, Drifting, Group B Rally cars and the Buell Lightning Super TT, amongst 64 pages of unadulterated motoring eye candy.

But the cover story is our test drive of the new Ferrari F430 F1 Spider.

We initially asked Ferrari if we could take a photo of their new beast of a cabrio. But when we rang them, they asked if we wouldn't prefer to take it for a test drive. So that's what happened.

Some lucky so and so (not me, sadly) got to take it this awe inspiring machine on a four day tour of some of the historic racing circuits of Europe - Reims, Le Mans, Spa - and a single page photo turned into a 6 page feature article and wraparound cover.

Ferrari obviously like it, anyway. We hope you do too.
