[Closed] have we done Lamborghini bunnyhop?

Not in the beating to death camp, but aside from being hackneyed sixth form political humour, poorly executed, Banksy is fine with me only if he got the permission of the building owner and any necessary planning consents.

It's couldn't care less

COULDN'T

and breathe...

At least he didn't try and drive hid car over the bike stunt

[i]Would it be ok to be enraged...[/i]

No, I don't think it would. Unless it was definitely a real video of your own car getting actually damaged, then I can't see any possible reason for enragement.
A car's a car's a car.

I'm honestly surprised on your moral attitudes towards wealth
pretty sickened really

Are you genuinely sickened that people think its wrong to damage other peoples nice things, or are you on the wind up.

You are either a great troll, or a very odd/bitter individual.

ps...Do you have a nice bike? Something you've bought for enjoyment that you can afford but don't really need? If you do do you mind if I come round and damage it...you know...for a laugh like.

You are either a great troll, or a very odd/bitter individual.

There is absolutely no way, no chance in hell the rider could have known the car would be undamaged

I guess analogies bounce off some people like a Bmx of a Lamborghini.

Maybe it was the Lambo owner that took the vid? 🙄

Wrecker is right.. but the point I'm making is this

In the run up to the election should we be blinded by a person's right to excess?

Should we be sacrificing our own rights as citizens so that the few can exploit the many.. it seems that there's a coupla people here that think it's ok.. why do you think it's ok for some to have excessive wealth? seriously

I'm really not jealous, if I approved of excessive wealth I would very likely be whingeing on about people's right to expect their exuberant property to be considered sacred..

The question I asked at the start of the thread was where do we draw the line?
When is someone's personal wealth unacceptable?

Why do we protect these people?

(I may vote Tory BTW.. just cos they have us on an even keel, and it's a slow steady recovery)

With respect, you are making a crap point or rather one that is irrelevant in this situation.

There maybe well be a debate to be had about how much society should tolerate significant differences in wealth but I really can't see why you feel this vid sparks that debate. All I see is one person (apparently) being disrespectful of another persons property for shits and giggles. I'm afraid I am blind to the value of the car - it's just a nice shape to ride over. There is no deeper point being made here, it's just a young lad acting like a knob.

Anyone who thought riding over someones car was a way to land an intelligent cultural point has lost the argument before it has begun.

It is play. Deep play at that. /end

There is no deeper point being made here,

It would seem to have sparked a deeper debate though

I thought people would laugh.. but it's all 'don't touch my stuff, stuff is sacred.. stuff stuff stuff, it's a wealthy persons stuff too, how very dare he'

Your grandfathers would be turning in their graves

I may vote Tory BTW.

well, I lol'ed, not my car, owner doesn't mind. No harm done.

I'm voting for you really JY 🙂

Look at what you've done yunki you naughty chap.

my understanding is that the US "could" is supposed to be ironic.

I can't help but feel that the owner of the car doesn't really have much choice about saying that he "could care less".

Maybe it's true, but equally he may have realised that any other response would only ensure that the video and the whole saga went even more viral, no doubt with people like Yunki rubbing their hands with glee at his displeasure, had he expressed it.

Any normal person who doesn't fancy his mug being forwarded around the world wide web for the next fortnight would choose to say they don't care.

Your grandfathers would be turning in their graves

Says who?

B.T.Getty.

On a serious note,if the Lamborghini owner wasn't in on it,I am a pro union Labour voter. BUT,whats the difference between the people running over cars as described and this guy riding over one?

Double post

I am a pro union

**** show-off ! I hope your ostentatious second post gets poo rubbed all over it

My Gentleman's Gentleman would arrange the removal.

JY; I would suggest that I have produced a significant enough body of evidence on here to refute such an allegation

For some context, the Lamborghini in the video looks to be a standard 2002ish Murcielago. You might get one for £60k-£70k these days, depending on milage and how many BMXs have ridden over it.

So while the owner might be an billionaire, he might just be someone who has worked hard to buy a car he really likes. Judging by some of the car threads, there are a lot of people on STW who have cars worth a lot more.

If he can afford a Lambo he can afford to have the scrote who damaged it "disappeared" without a trace.

Aspirational git. He should accept a place on the waiting list for a Trabant like everyone else.

damaging someone elses property for the sole reason of showing off

Playing the owner at his own game IMO:

"I always park it out front, and I sit outside and eat my dinner and look at my car. And I watch hundreds and hundreds of people take pictures of it,"

Who's the ****ing show off?

BMXers have been riding over parked cars in their videos for years, normally cheap ones of course, this only get attention because, It happens to be the blingy property of one of the West's "top 5%"...

It is just a car, expensive but still just an object, I think the disproportionate response's tell more of a tale about how we're going wrong as a society and have been for maybe the last 60 or so years, people are that caught up in worshiping motor vehicles and other displays of wealth/status they seem to value them above all other things, and in the process lose all perspective you would really hit someone over a mark on your Audi?

Doesn't Parking a quarter of a million Quid's worth of motor on the street during a time of recession and austerity seem a little crass. Just letting everyone see how well you are doing is fantastic, could have employed ten people for a year, invested in the community or found something more positive to do with the money but no he bought a fancy Italian tractor to ponce to the local café in. And tradically half you lot cleary admire such conspicuous consumption...

Riding over it is about the best bit of succinct, social commentary you could hope for... As I'm sure it was intended to be.

which to me isn't any more obscene than shelling out 7k on a pushbike. How come the lefties on here aren't up in arms every time dirtybiker (for example) publishes a picture of his 2 obscenely expensive (and admittedly lovely) santa cruzs..same principle IMO, ie people spending the money they've earned on stuff they like.

"I always park it out front, and I sit outside and eat my dinner and look at my car. And I watch hundreds and hundreds of people take pictures of it,"

Who's the **** show off?

He parks it where he can see it, so he can enjoy looking at it and keep an eye on it (unsuccessfully it seems). People taking photos is just a byproduct. Should he hide it away from view?

So when he was doing tricks on a school bus what kind of political statement was he making there?

Nothing to do with "Lamborghini" or "car" it's to do with respect for other peoples property. Pretty simple concept.

Intended as social commentary? 😆 brilliant, tell us another one.

He could see it at home or in a desolate car park on the edge of town. Its rather lucky he parks it where everyone else can see it as well and where he can see them taking photos of it too.

I am sure its all just a coincidence though and he does not really like nor want the attention, He is rather shy as all shy folk are known for buying bright expensive sports car and parking them in the middle of town.

tpbiker - we should laugh at his expense.. that's all

Why? 😕

I agree with you Yunki and I'm rather alarmed by the number of people that even don't see the point you're making, never mind the ones that don't agree with it!

How can one person come to 'own' something that has taken such a ginormous amount of labour to create? It's not natural and its not right.

None of the comparisons with other instances of vandalism are relevant because none of them are involve such extravagance. And not just extravagance, but pointless extravagance! I'm not 100%, but I don't think the chap is driving around in a lambo because he's that into cars, it's just another bauble adorning his ego.

Obviously you have to find the middle ground in these sorts of situations. A new Lamborghini is definitely no where near the middle ground, I would say an Alpha could well be within the limits so long as its not too expensive? Maybe we could take a average of all the second hand prices of Alphas currently on the market, add say £5000, and then that's the most you may spend on a car before it becomes acceptable to ride over it on a BMX...

njee20 - because Je suis ****ing Charlie... that's why

tpbiker - we should laugh at his expense.. that's all

Laugh at whose expense? Dirty bikers or the lambo owners? or both? either way...I fail to see why i'd want to laugh at someone elses expense.

Unless of course I was exceptionally bitter about the the fact some people have nice stuff they've earned and I didn't...

I dreamed of doing this on my bmx 20 years back, but up the front of the lambo with it moving towards the bike so as to get some height. Funnily enough never came to fruition.

Then five years back I bought a 911 which my drunk cousin rear ended within half an hour of ownership using my other car.

Thought police.

About the device you're posting this from...how very dare you "own" something that has, etc.....

Je suis charlie was about freedom was it not? Freedom to express, freedom even to insult. Freedom to spend your money however you choose is small beer by comparison.

All this discussion of the cost of the car is missing the most important point. How much is the bike worth?

Freedom to mock people's absurd religions.. like the cult of consumerism

Consumerism or capitalism? Isn't that what this is really about? Your dislike of our socio economic system?

I'm not 100%

Indeed.
