[woof]

So this afternoon's competition - what Ferrari model is currently on fire on the M25 ?
one would naturally assume a 458

COuldn't tell - assumed it was a 458 - never assume !

I'm confused - it appears to have changed direction whilst being on fire?

Is that a feature?

It's one of those Flamborghini cars.

(No seriously that doesn't look like a fun day out for the owner )

Fuel tank went... blew it 60 ft into the air, landed the opposite way round.

Or maybe not

I think it's the same one. On that part of the M25 the hard shoulder has barriers - contraflow, so it's just photos from different directions

Still is it a lambo or a Ferrari ?

Flamborghini - genius !

It's an older style Gallardo judging by the wheel!

There was a 458 on the M25 this morning (Guildford junction) which had crashed into the back of a car, which looked to have then hit another car.

Upon approaching I saw the engine cover was up and I expected to see flames, but no sign of a fire - just a wrecked front bumper.

M25 claims two supercars in as many days!

All the reports I've seen say it was a Lamborghini Gallardo....driver unhurt thankfully....well, perhaps in the pocket !!

Perhaps the Lambo owner doesn't read his post:

That Gallardo, a 2005, had had the recall done.

I remember driving past that on the way to get my car serviced, not a pretty sight.

Wait a second. (I can't believe nobody has picked on this yet )

Ignoring the fact that they're photos of the same car and it IS pointing the same way: even if people in two cars travelling in opposite directions took pictures of that burning car, it would still be pointing the same way in the photos because they're travelling past on the same side of it. No?
