A RECKLESS Romeo is left counting the cost of a disaster date – after he totalled a Ferrari he had hired to impress his Juliet.

The 26-year-old had rented the Ferrari 458 in a bid to woo his fancy lady.

The boy racer motors along a mountainous road at 90mph as his date screams: “That’s really fast.”

But his red-blooded antics ended badly when he struggled to navigate a twisty corner and ended up slamming into a crash barrier on the Colorado road.

The pair were both unhurt, but the £200,000 red Ferrari was left in a sorry state with its front bodywork badly crumpled.

The dismayed driver chivalrously asks his date if she is okay before leaping from the car to survey the damage with his hands firmly on his head.

Viewers of the clip on YouTube had little sympathy for the careless Casanova.

While another added: "That actually looked like a corner he could have made if he didn't ask the car to turn and brake at the same time.

"And you just got to love the showboating early on in the video. He was driving it with utter disrespect.

“I am glad only the car got hurt. It could have been way worse.”
