Re: Whose Gallardo is this?
If u think ppl are crazy in Japan, the middle east is a place of whackos on crack. They do everything under the sun and dun give a rats ass about anything. I asked one middle eastern guy "Are'nt you afraid of cops? Or don't you slow down before speed cams?" His reply was "Fuck cops and speedcams. If they wanna snap a picture of me, my middle finger will be in it". LOL!

Re: Whose Gallardo is this?
I think the attitude is about the same here in China. Saw a truck driver overshot a red light camera, stopped right there and then, came back tied a chain to it and subsequently pulled it down as he went off...everybody else just looked on. Like they said "when in doubt, kill it".
Do you know of the coffee shop situated beside the old National library, right at the corner called S-11 along the famous OG 'racetrack'? People sat there all night and watched street racers start their run from the MPH house junction and go by that S-bend by the church. On the most happening nights you can see just about as much cars on the 'grid' as an F1 race. Some idiots will e-brake or crash, other times you will see a few TP bikes on the chase as well. That was hugely entertaining until the tunnel came up. Man, those were 'fun' times. :screwedu:
Was it that long ago, man..am I slow. You got link?
Np, Nic will show us more too.

Re: Whose Gallardo is this?
Heres the pics
Car:
2005 Lamborghini Gallardo
Description:
The government of Dubai thought it would be a good idea to put a speed bump on a street where locals tended to speed. Problem is they didn't tell anybody. This Gallardo hit it at over 60 MPH.
There's actually a video of the accident. The back end of the Gallardo goes about 5 feet off the ground. Check out the video here (link opens in new window).
Location:
Dubai
**edit**
looks like the drivers head hit onto the windshield

WOW, thanks Nic. The driver is OK, he sits on the other side.

Re: Whose Gallardo is this?
I can see now why they are so expensive to repair...see the big round transaxle housing that double as rear bumper. In any serious rear end collision, the car would probably have to be scrap as well. Could the 2 boxes be some kind of shock absorbent or crumple zones to cushion those sort of incidents.

Re: Whose Gallardo is this?
FTF - I think you are probably right. I suspect they are crumple units with aluminium impact absorbers. And I also think you are right about their positioning on either side of the transaxle housing. Google an image of the Gallardo engine and you will see that the transaxle housing sticks out a long way.
