A car crash to remember. Or maybe forget.
A supercar belonging to one of Lancashire’s biggest petrolheads and entrepreneurs got totalled this weekend after being rented to a wedding party.
Aleem Iqbal, Solihull-based entrepreneur and ‘Rich Kid of Instagram’ who calls himself “Lord Aleem”, went viral this weekend with his response to seeing one of his cars, a white Ferrari 458 Spider worth £240,000, wrecked in Burnley.

Aleem runs luxury car hire firm Platinum Executive Travel with his father, and took the news of the ruined car in stride.
At least people in Burnley have something to talk about for a few weeks 🙈

The Ferrari had its bonnet crushed and front headlights shattered when it collided with a concrete wall in Abel Street at around 2pm. Luckily no one was injured in the accident.
However what I will say is that these powerful machines require driver skill and they shouldn’t be taken as a joke. Drive safe ✌?️

Still, when the only thing dented is a very (VERY) expensive car, maybe we can chalk this up as a lucky one?
I'll have that car back on road in 3 weeks Insha'Allah
