Really ? I find it pretty horrible seeing nice cars like that. Just cus they can afford them doesn't mean they deserve to be smashed up. Nice Esprit though.

Iain Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Yuk... The wheels on that Lambo are *really* bad taste IMHO - sad to see it in that state tho...

talon Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I have to agree on the wheels. I guess you can't buy taste or style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I agree with Iain, the wheels are a bit, umm homemade? I also can't decide if they are attending the 'white car conference', or if they are at a wedding..

lince Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I think the wheels looked so bad on the car it tried to commit suicide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwilhelm Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Its always sad to see such works of art destroyed... but those wheels practically destroyed the Lambo by itself.... bet it was owned by some punk NFL football goon....

Bibs Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 We have similar owners of exotica with no respect for the car or it's heritage, too much money and no taste.

Mark Blanchard Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Ooh I do love the monthly visit to the update on wrecked exotics dot com. It just makes me feel better about my life somehow. Wrecked exotics is a weird website. Yes, you can feel momenterily better off but after a long look through I tend to feel a bit sick. Some of those accidents on there are horrific and the occupants would have been either badly smaked up or brown bread. The Porsche's tend to be particularly bad, which says something about the drivers. Quote Mark www.lotusespritturbo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esprithk Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) wow...I notice 4 white color vehicles in a photo. white must be very popular there. **concerning the wheels, does anyone think it may be a "kit car" (fake lambo??) if not, the driver has very bad taste in style Edited January 15, 2008 by esprithk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM mayevora Posted January 15, 2008 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 **concerning the wheels, does anyone think it may be a "kit car" (fake lambo??) if not, the driver has very bad taste in style Don't think its a kit - can't remember the laws on produceing a copy of a car - think it has to be at least 10 years old before somebody else can produce a kit (up for being proved wrong though) Murci hasn't had its 10th birthday yet. So bad taste it is then. Quote Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk - that will teach us to keep mouth shut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4simon Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 If you look closely at the photo you'll appreciate how intellectual the Esprit owner is. He's had the forethought to park his car on the angle, so as to not have his car damaged by the reversing truck. Brilliant !!! Lambo owner - not too smart...

sky_cz Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 looks the wheels correspond to red interior of car, but must say thats realy ugly:) Quote http://www.lotus-club.cz Your 6 is my 12. http://www.voodoo-world.cz -------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbers Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Almost Vomit inducing! Shame about the car tho'. I can't help but think about a group of enthusiasts in 10 years time bemoaning the loss of another car.

mangel Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 In the words of Hong Kong Phooey, "Could Be!" I agree, the majority of the the cars on that sight are a sad sight but occassionally you get one that is either a/ just plain ridiculous in a how did they do that kind of way b/ well having read the description they just plain deserved it c/ They have no taste, please revoke their driving license with immeadiate effect!!

Paul Coleman Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 you can get kit murcielagos in the states a company called triangle-g made them, now another company is making them. I have always liked Lambos and would love a Gallardo but I don't know that I could ever justify spending that amount of money on a car I know that a lot of people who buy them have more money than sense but I'm not in that category (unfortunately). However, I do have a theory about these things which I've come to realise as I get older and that is... that most people only want these things because they are out of their reach. If you get to the point where they are reachable you suddenly realise that they don't actually mean that much I'm prepared to accept that this may just be my warped take on things though!! Paul.
