Impressed to see the air bag deploy. Says a lot about the cars build.

I thought this too!

Isn't it a Gallardo underneath the bodywork?

It is a Gallardo underneath so not surprised it's retained the usual safety features.

That's going to be a complicated insurance claim...

Looks like it happened at a junction.

I was only saying earlier on this very thread that perhaps it would be a good idea for some of these guys to get some proper driver training...

I'm pretty sure Archie launched his YouTube career off the back of providing race training to some of the UK car vloggers

No great loss to the car world though is it? Glad nobody was hurt obviously but that's a horrible thing.

Before that gets misinterpreted, the Batmobile was static at the time waiting to pull out from a Stop sign junction when it got hit.

Suppose the smart alecs here would still have prevented that incident with 'driver training'.

Wow.

Loving Harry’s latest vid with the Evora. I’m heavily biased but it was fantastic to see his genuine enthusiasm for driving the car. He was literally grinning like a Cheshire Cat.

I must admit I enjoyed it too - However, for £85k... My money would be being spent elsewhere...

A great used buy - some have been going for low 60's .

Yes, he did. I remember him saying in one of his videos.

You can generally tell the ones who've had a bit of training not least by how they hold the steering wheel (e.g. not one-handed at 12 o'clock).

Why? And on what? New cars only, of course. (Genuinely curious - it's a good car but perhaps your priorities/requirements lie elsewhere?)

Why new cars only?

If you had £85K to spend on a toy you would look at the whole market, new and used.

My money would go on a GT4 I suspect.

Exactly my thoughts - That, or a used V6 Exige S and an F80 M3 for family duties, job jobbed.

Interesting, must have been hit with some force to shove it well past the stop line and then somehow sustained front end damage in the process.

Either way, for those saying training is not a good idea I struggle to see how that's the case but what do I know.

Seeing a few pictures of Tim's GT in Manhattan popping up on Instagram. It looks bloody stunning, especially in the night shots!

[peterattheboro]

Tim's excitement in his latest video is very infectious
