Default Mercedes crashes into brothel
One way to destroy an S class....
Quote:

It's usually the venue for more discreet affairs, but the driver of a $175,000 Mercedes-Benz made a less than subtle arrival outside a well-known Punt Road brothel yesterday.

The driver of the 2007 Mercedes Benz S500 did a runner about 7.40am after his car launched over the steel fence of the "upmarket" Ladies for Gentlemen brothel, crashing into the heritage building.

I always thought that parking on Punt Rd was a bit tough, but that's going a bit far! Pity, brillant car too!

Damn, I was expecting all the pros to be lined up on the street taking a look. Denied.

Perhaps they made the sign a bit bigger, they would have had time to read it all...

'Car park and entrance....' swerve, crash. Oh, at rear. :(

It's allegedly hard to be breath tested when you're nowhere to be found....

Maybe he headed off to the local pub instead. I hear they have liquor in the front, poker in the rear.
