A lot of cars come over to London for the summer from Dubai / saudi, hence the LHD . You can of course buy a LHD car if you want to . I assume you are able to drive a RHD car in the states if you wanted to..? . ( recalling john travolta in TVR , in swordfish ) .
Might even get a chance to look at this car in a week or so , if my order comes in - as this car will almost certainly be taken to HR Owen ( the London dealer ) to be repaired .... which is right next to the parts department ::toothy
Oooh , Red leather.

Doesn't the fact that the Aventador was speeding enter into the formula at all?


Maybe a little... but that's why you always look before you turn into oncoming traffic. Maybe the lambo sped up to avoid hitting the guy... the world may never know  ::tongue

The color of the Lambo doesn't help any.  Not to defend myself, but I've pulled out in front of a car more than once after taking a look.  I might be wrong, but grey just seems to be the perfect camoflage color to disappear into a pavement background.

What we need for splashing molds is an insider at a high-end salvage yard that can get us in there after they close on a Saturday evening. Get in there, tape a couple parts off, throw down glass like a mad monkey, and get out with some nice, albeit probably flimsy molds. The molds can always be firmed up on the backside after the fact if done carefully.
Kind Regards,

Chris

Yeah, you guys want a body to splash? There you go!
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

if I had that car I would drive slow in town so everyone could  :drool  while I drove by  :LL:
Not sure what it says about me, but I am still :drool even in its current condition. In fact, I would be willing to take one for the team here and give that poor wrecked vehicle a new home and fix it up proper with all the TLC that it deserves. I know, such a team player I am, but I am willing to sacrifice some garage space.  ::tongue ::toothy
Kind Regards,

Chris

No doubt this guy was driving like a idiot.
First of all I would save that speed for the track or at least the freeway. Second if I had that car I would drive slow in town so everyone could  :drool  while I drove by  :LL:

You mean, Lambos can't go as fast as they want? ;)

Yeah, I was thinking all it would take is someone to step off the curb and they would have been dead. Or with all those parked cars on the side, what if a door was opened as this guy was flying down that narrow road. Pretty irresponsible. If you are going to do that stuff, you should really take it to the track but at least go out to an open and largely unpopulated area.
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

Yup too fast, hate how these guys can drive like this even in neighborhoods where children could be walking and people end up taking their side. In this case lots of traffic and pedestrians. Although looks like both might be at fault here.
Speeding is still against the law... why would pulling out like that be more illegal?

Hehehe... Yeah, the guy was definitely going way too fast.
