Bobbeh Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Its not good PR for Lamborghini - this is probably why it was done - but it's a totally idiotic waste imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I dunno...anyone remember The KLF burning £1000,000? I do, but I still don't believe they did it for real. Bill Drummond was far too canny for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Size Me Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Its not good PR for Lamborghini - this is probably why it was done - but it's a totally idiotic waste imho. Actually I was thinking the opposite maybe lambo could use it in an advertising campaign to demonstrate the cars toughness ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazuk Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 some guys repsonse on PH to this sounds like a lambo owner to me , lol 2k miles and it needs a 5k clutch "I guess you have to own an early Gallardo to appreciate how unreliable the electrics were, how chocolate the clutches were and how many times it used to go into "limp home" mode and close down one bank of cylinders. If Lambo London (was it Stuart?) was to be believed, the clutches were not under warranty (2000 miles - £5k and change for a new one) and the reason the cylinder banks would cut out was something to do with a sensor in / near the wheel arch and it was not waterproof. The interior door handle and rear view mirror kept falling off. The pistons in the rear calipers kept seizing. Batteries and electrics were rubbish which resulted in shorts and flat batteries weekly.....and much more. Mine was a very early LHD brought from Germany. I had it for one month. If I was on my own on a desert island (with no one to judge me) and I had a sledge hammer, I would have smashed it to peices many times over (obviously a hypothetical scenario). I hear they're better now; but whilst not condoning this guys actions, I can understand his frustration. Lamborghini Gallardo - literal translation; Made out of recycled Raviolli tins."

stevie_b Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 What a loser, and a total waste of a good car/money! more money than sense! I don't think he's a loser, at least not in monetary terms if he's done well enough to afford to smash up supercars. Also, I don't think selling it in the Chinese Autotrader for spares or repair would have had the impact he was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I do, but I still don't believe they did it for real. Bill Drummond was far too canny for that. Well, he's certainly justified and ancient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
