RIP Andrea Pininfarina
The designer of such classic models as the Jaguar XJ220, the Ferrari Mythos and the Original Fiat Spider. He was killed yesterday in a motoring accident, his scooter colliding with another vehicle.
At this difficult time for all true car lovers we have to ask some searching questions.
Such as, what the fcuk was the designer of the Maserati Birdcage doing on a fcuking scooter?!

Shame
Was watching Clarkson interview him on an old re-run of Motorworld only last week. Him and Agnelli together on the roof of the Fiat Factory.
If my sense of humour annoys you, please tell me..So I can LAUGH AT YOU!!

He didn't design the Maserati Birdcage it would've been his father or grand father.
Scooters are cool unless you are a 16 year old chav tearing around with your delinquent mates.One cannot begin to fathom the immensity of the fuck I do not give.

Actually, the Birdcage 75th was designed by Ken Okuyama, working for Pininfarina, in 2005, nearly 40 years after the original pinin died, Andrea was the grandson and CEO, his dad is a something in Italian polotics now.

:(. What a shame. I like the XJ220. Much better than the crap Jaguar are turning out at the moment. (XF aside)

I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself; I’m having that.
