Burnt Lambo

Here's a new take on Bangle's flame surfacing. You've gotta feel sorry for the bloke who owns (or should that be owned?) this Lamborghini Gallardo, which caught fire in Peterborough last Friday.

There he was, cruising up outside a bar hoping to impress some women, when his Lambo's engine coughed and caught fire. It started with a melted bumper, but by the time he found a fire extinguisher the flames were working their way through his V10.

Watch the video on BBC News

But it's not all bad. There's still a little bit left. Check out the grille - you could cook burgers on that.

Reminds us of Stig's lap in the Lambo SV last week. He got a bit firey in that, too...
