[Closed] Check out my new Lamborghini!

That will be some insurance claim...

Guy shouldn't of pulled out in fairness...

jeez, not doing 30mph anyway.....

It sounds like he's doing 100mph, but looks like it's a lot slower.....

Was surprised not to see an Addison Lee sticker on the other car.

It sounds like he's doing 100mph, but looks like it's a lot slower.....

why was anybody filming at that time?

saw a gold ferrari in london at the weekend, in fact around knightsbridge ferraris were common as muck. seriously saw more of them than ford escorts.

what iainc said - defo not 30mph!! I wonder if he tried to put a claim in or just take it out of his pocket money..

I can't see the vid at work, but totally understand this statement.

That brings back memories - I saw a Countach (could have been a different model, not sure) hammering down the outside lane on Blackburn ring road about 20-odd years ago. The lane was coned off so he raced a Transit for the space in the inside lane. The Transit won and the front of the Lambo shattered into what seemed like a thousand pieces. The Transit didn't stop.

The fault of the Mazda not the Lamborghini. 🙄

Lamborghini has the right of way.

The Lamborghini may be loud but definitely not fast there.

I wonder what's the Mazda insurance premium will be from now on.

Insurance company: "And what colour is the car, sir?"

Lambo man: "Invisibility Cloak Black."

Ins co: "Claim denied."

Pah, cheap sports car.

Round Park Lane you see proper cars:

A guy at work showed that earlier, we were wondering how it happened and why someone was filming it. The only logical reason we came up with was that the Lambo had been doing some kind of test launch type start and the Mazda had thought it had stopped so could go then the Lambo flies up and smashes into it.

Now imagine cyclist was involved.

Oh dear, never mind. Poser driving impractical, flash car too fast in city gets comeuppance. I'm so sad.

No darker or less visible than the Mazda really, why would colour be an issue? The insurance company take all theses factors into consideration when quoting a price. I don't think he was doing more than 30mph, Mazda should have edged out into road if the view was obscured by parked cars. Lamborghini driver had nowhere to go.

Mazda 100% at fault.

It would have been being filmed by one of these Vlog kids that flock to London to see the rich kids driving around in their latest supercar. They make some cash out of it if it gets enough youtube hits...

Don't be sad, Dez. I'm sure he has got insurance.

Edit: Here, it's all fixed now. Like it never happened.

Do people seriously reckon that crash was the result of a car doing <30mph?

I was taking the piss.

I had similar 6 years ago.

I edged out between two parked transit vans that blocked the view.

Motorbike was doing well over speed limit, could not avoid and ploughed into front wheel and door of our car.

100% my fault.

Didn't stop the off duty copper giving the rider some grief for his speed and overtaking while wheeling...while rider was still on ground writhing in pain.

Do people seriously reckon that crash was the result of a car doing <30mph?

No, I reckon it was a result of poor observation.

I'm not convinced the Lambo was going as fast as some seem to think, you know. It's very difficult to judge from the POV of the video-er, but watch it again with the sound off. Probably too fast for the conditions (built-up area, parked cars etc) but I wouldn't like to put any serious money on him being over the speed limit based on that video.

Baseball cap on backwards in any car not necessary.

Observations:
Mazda driver's fault. I've done too like matt_outandabout. Deeply irritating and annoying, but.

Baseball caps back to front are just wrong anytime anywhere.

Isn't that Veyron a few posts up about the ugliest thing on the road?

Round Park Lane you see proper cars:

That is a lovely Corolla.

Veyron.. Ugly? Go sit in the corner u naughty boy.

Anything made by Ssyang Yong is by far the most hideous thing on the road..

Apologies man in the north.. I was just scanning the thread when I replied.

you missed the thread on Nissan Jukes then?

Mazda drivers fault, his insurance is gonna sting next year. If (pretty big if) the lambo was stopped when mazda started to pull out and was doing some launch control bobbins wonder if insurance companies will have fun with that.

And yes veyrons are gopping but ugliest thing on road? The Porsche Allegro is just as bad and there's worse.

Lambo driven by hat-****er. Damages awarded to OAP in Mazda.
Next case...

Knowing that part of the world rather well, I very much suspect the Lambo wasn't obeying the speed limit there.

Heading North out of the Square is a favourite run for a certain breed of fast car owner in London. Used to turn South out of Cadogan Gate as a shortcut down the back pretty often. Regularly surprised by something coming North bound at speed. Always a fast/flash car, and always a certain type of driver.....

Oh OK maybe not THE ugliest but it's no Aston.

Anyway, this is a Bugatti:

No attempt by the Lambo driver to brake until after impact. The Mazda is creeping out, and I can't believe either was completely unsighted.

I suspect that neither of them had much appreciation of just how wide that car is. Lambo thought he/she could nip through, Mazda thought he'd left enough room for the Lambo to get past.

Don't the Germans have a word for this kind of thing?

It looks a bit Type 6 to me.

No mention of the blondie that got out the Lambo yet? Lovely arse...

Ouch.

This video was with it.

Trying o think of the words to describe it... Bellends is the best I can come up with.

not making judgement about who was right or wrong - i was however impressed by the lambo drivers ability to avoid further contact / damage.

On the other hand, making a judgement 🙂 sounds like the Lambo had some proper revs on the go, so even if he wasn't doing silly speeds I'm still gonna guess that he was dicking around. I was also wondering if it could be a rental, too calm a reaction though.

Mostly, guilty due to previously mentioned cap wearing douche-baggery.

Shadenfreude?

From the Daily Mail article on this:

"This car is known in London but I had never seen it before.
'From YouTube videos he enjoys to drive it fast and rev the engine to create exhaust flames."

"Minutes before the smash, the car was filmed being driven aggressively by its owner."

Don't the Germans have a word for this kind of thing?

Eichel? (das ist Deutsch für das Ende einer Glocke)

It doesn't look like the Lambo was speeding there.
The engine growl is typical Italian sports car.
The Mazda was clearly at fault.
I'm loving some of the comments on this thread along the lines of he had a Lamorghini - serves the guy right. If it as some old biddy in a Clio the comments would be completely different.
