Pininfarina dies in crash

Read today that Andrea Pininfarina died Yesterday in a scooter accident when a 78year old swerved to avoid a truck unloading sand

I don't know too much about him, but have heard his name linked to a fair few sports cars

Very sad.

Actually according to all the news sources in Italy, the car driver was exiting a side road, a truck unloading sand was blocking his view, got on the main road and was hit by Pininfarina on his scooter '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil
