Libyan leader’s son’s Ferrari gets impounded for excessive noise


Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s son’s Ferrari has been impounded for being too loud. Seif al-Arab, a 25 year old student in Munich, watched his £170,000 Ferrari 430 being towed after being pulled over by local police. German police said that they seized the Ferrari because its exhaust was too noisy.

The police said that they recorded 110.5 decibels from the 430’s exhaust system, higher than the permitted 98 decibels. The vehicle will be returned only if Gaddafi’s son agrees to change the exhaust system and pay a £100 fine.

Police said that Seif was pulled over previously and had been giving a warning. His international license is also suspected to be invalid.

, see thats why you should stick with TUV approved products in germany and not settle for Export offroad versions that are not permitted to use in Germany and european countries.

Hahahaa that's sucks!
Man, if I was him, i'd be PISSED....fair play and equality is for common folk...to hell with noise regulations, especially when you have a car that makes a sound like an Italian V8 and especially when you run the country.
