deekss Report post Posted November 18, 2012 Another half wit mechanic has crashed a customer's beloved LP640 in the UK. This hit the press a couple of days ago, now a paper local to the incident has come up with some CCTV that just caught it... http://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/10049419.VIDEO/ FYI, MOT is the yearly government inspection for all cars over 3 years old in the UK. This inlcudes a brake test, for which garages only have one set of rollers, and for any 2WD car, the thing never leaves the MOT garage. For anything 4WD, the garage does a test drive with decelerometer rather than risk damage to a centre diff. Clearly this fcukwit should never have been allowed out in the thing. Just looked at the video, looks like he drives off too.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortis Report post Posted November 18, 2012 That sucks! Most of the incidents are caused by people that aren't familiar with these cars, they aren't that easy to drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FEVIPER Report post Posted November 19, 2012 That is terrible. Yep, you can tell he was planning on getting out of there. I guess reality kicked in and he went back. Or daddy made him go back,lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmtn Report post Posted November 19, 2012 Shit happens. Their attitude on being honest and admitting guilt is still 1000% better than the "gal" guy had. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djantlive Report post Posted November 19, 2012 They only admit fault since it is on video. He states the car is 95k GBP. If so, I would like to order some at that price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandguy Report post Posted November 19, 2012 I. Would. Be. Very. Very. Pissed. There’s an understatement. Repair it all you want, the car will never be the same. It's taunted for life... Jerk off mechanic. I bet he left grease shoe prints on the floor mats too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellomurci Report post Posted November 20, 2012 Brings back a few momories of what a mechanic did to my lp640 a few years ago, at the time it was only about a year old and funny thing it also was doing only 35-40mph at the time?

ArytonS Report post Posted November 20, 2012 That does suck massively - however it doesn't look like the guy is speeding or wrecklessly driving. Just looks like he prodded the gas slightly too much and had no idea what he was getting himself into. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzukidave Report post Posted November 20, 2012 what I genuinely dont understand, is I used to drive my 2wd diablo in the rain all the time and it never did anything weird. I would even drive it somewhat aggressive to see what would happen and it was fine. What total dipshits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken qv Report post Posted November 21, 2012 Wow... read last week that citizens of the UK are the most video-taped society in the World. It looks to be true because they always have a video with the story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Report post Posted November 25, 2012 And this is why I enjoy doing my own work as much as possible. I can thankfully say I've never had any mechanics crash any of my vehicles. Worst I've had is getting one of my motorcycles back from having warranty work done by a local dealer and there was oil ALL OVER the body work as if the mechanic washed his hands in used oil before beginning. To say I was upset would be understating a bit. If someone wrecked my Lambo heads would be rolling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellomurci Report post Posted November 29, 2012 Being sarcastic as that was what the driver said, Lambo people who checked it out after the crash said over twice that speed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
