martini Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Firefighters had to extinguish a large blaze after a Lamborghini Gallardo burst into flames in Peterborough. The 2005 model which burnt out on Friday was worth around £75,000. Eyewitnesses said the bright orange car pulled up with smoke billowing from its engine. Two men were seen to jump out of the vehicle. The fire attracted a crowd of people, one of whom put this footage of the incident on YouTube.

Guest Carsten Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 All money on a car? Pf. If you can afford a lambo you dont care that much. Apart from that: Warranty will come up for the cost/loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin1982 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I've seen this lambo hooning around the sidestreets at stupid MPH, guy drove it like a total nutter. Laughed so much when I heard the news, like to think the car committed suicide rather then be driven by a doink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 There was a pale blue Gallardo turned up at a recent meet in Warrington. I wasn't impressed with what you got for 100K. The build quality is awful. Give me an Aston any day..!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 There was a pale blue Gallardo turned up at a recent meet in Warrington. I wasn't impressed with what you got for 100K. The build quality is awful. Give me an Aston any day..!! H. I watched them being built last week, to be honest I was disappointed with the build quality and whole process really. There was a marked difference in the treatment that the Murcielago and Gallardo received during build too, right down to the custom protection put on the panels to protect from scratches etc. We went to Ferrari to and the difference was startling. Made Lambo look like a shed in a field where they just strap large engines into pretty bodies in comparison. Although when they look as good as this one outside the factory it's hard to not want one! They're all about passion, power, balls out style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
