Damn those Lambos are slow. I had to overtake three of them on my way to work the other day in my Cortina. :hihi: Not quite as bad as Camrys though. :

Cheers, Danny

I don't think even my wife would have the self-control not to plant it. P-plater in a Volvo, overtaking a Ford V8? Does it get any worse?

If it's not a photoshop I'de say the lambo is getting overtaken, as there is a train crossing ahead and being a country road, you'd drive that thing like a sloth over the tracks

Plus the old bomb has a fair lean up!

The Blue car is being blown off the road by the Lambo's draft. :

my first impression is it's photoshopped too, the lambo looks way too big!

You'd be surprised just how big and wide those things actually are in real life. If you compare the size of the number-plate, and tyre width, then it looks to be in proportion.

somethings definitely not right with that pic. for starters, look at how much of a lean the blue car is on, its like its swerving around something, but if you look at where it is in relation to the Diablo, it seems like its parrallel with it. Now, in order for the blue car to be on that sort of a lean, and in that sort of position, it would have had to have been practically touching the back of the Diablo before pulling sharply to the left. While a possibility, I'm not buying it.

fake.

I think that photo was taken just as the little blue car (Fiat??) is pulling over to the left to let the Lambo through. The Lambo must have cought up to the rear of the blue car in quick time.. scaring the poor old lady behind the wheel.

Its Europe alright and I think real. The Lambo's slowing down so he doesn't take out his underneath on the railway crossing. The guy in the other car is driving like a typical Euro - probably knows a train's due soon. Either this or the Lambo driver can't afford the fuel whereas the other (is it a Trabant?) can.

It is a photoshoped picture. The difference in height between the blue car and the Lamborghini is wrong.

They aren't that tall though ... looks like a kit Lambo on a ИИИИbox.

But to me the pic screams photoshop effort.

Man i hate people screaming "photoshop" at every funny pic put up on the net. I believe that it's definately not a photoshop. Size looks proportional to me (lambo's are very wide cars remember and some european cars can be very small), there's nothing in the lighting to suggest it, the angle is consistant of someone swerving at high speed, and lastly, the effort it'd take to get the picture that spot on would be very tedious and i don't know why anybody would bother going to the effort.
