Wonder if it was to blame for the crash, or just a good opportunity too good to miss to throw the speed kills propaganda bollox down everyone throat.

What better than a Lambo.

That's what I thought with the wide side pods, but the alloys are standard, and not LP640's.

LP640 below

I think probably the latter. They don't specify the Lambo's involvement which is slightly suspicious

My mate Andy lives on that very road, he has six year old twins, thats whats wrong with it, massively innapropriate speed for the surroundings, even if his kids are in the garden minding their own business and the (pretty bad) driver gets it wrong they get a tonne and a half of Lamborghini in the garden.

Nice car and should be enjoyed but there is a time and a place, a suburban road in the afternoon isnt it.

As for the town centre one, pretty inenviatable really wasnt it, put a clueless gibbon in an a fast car they remain clueless but with more opportunity for mayhem. Wonder how fast he was going, must have been a ton or more.

To be honest in these situations its a fair comment, knobbers like this will spoil performance cars for the rest of us with high profile antics like this.

The video is played back slightly fast but that's a Dangerous Driving conviction without a doubt.

especially that overtaking manoeuvre near the end, the person coming the other way actually has to completely come to a stop. What a tool.

Wrecked Exotics - Car Crash Picture, Exotic Cars, car wreck, crash test, car crash photo, car wreck picture, car crash test, picture of car crash, car crash pic,

You dont see many wrecked as there arent many around and most owners are fairly intelligent people who have made a lot of money and generally are sensible about driving such a high performance car, then you have these kind of tossers, like Naseem Hammed, clueless show offs.

I WAS being facetious, but I had an old Car mag which had a feature on the Ferrari graveyard which is in a "secret location": the pics showed various wrecked Ferraris with the black and white tape down the sides. They had to crash test them, and then couldn't do anything with the wrecks (eg strip them) as they needed to keep them "intact" in case a future claim came up.

The Lambo smashed in that picture is a LP640, as when it was in the show room at the Bentley dealership in Willenhall, I was dribbling over it also it had a nice price tag of £220k and not £190k that they said in the Express & Star

Lets just say that the owner of that car is not someone you would want to upset, and if your from Wolverhampton you might know who owns it!

Got a video of it on my phone when it was in good working order last week!

So overtaking while there is an on-coming car that has to brake hard, while the car the Lambo is overtaking has to brake hard, in order to avoid a head on collition, is OK with you???????????????????????

Maybe you're a pr1ck behind a wheel too. You'd get on great with Lambo man.

Dont know, but when I saw the driver the otherday he was a big fella, not the sort of person you would want to go into the back of his £220k Lambo!

Truth, a bit like "The Duke" in Layer Cake. Nice and subtle.

RE:Carbonblack video
Assuming it was the owner driving, Adam Witkiewicz, doesn't look too clever.
LP640 or not, nothing was going to make that overtake cleanly without the other drivers braking and letting him through.
