I can’t quite grasp why anybody would buy any car and modify it, let alone a Lamborghini Gallardo, but that’s exactly what Captain Loafer here did, and now he’s gone and spun the thing into a curb. The vehicle in question here is a twin-turbo Gallardo V10, which as you probably know, is a car that’s not desperately in need of more power.

Leaving a “Caffeine and Octane” gathering (I shitteth you not)  somewhere in Georgia, the driver pulled out of a roadside entrance, floored the throttle and promptly ramped the nearest curb, snapping the rear wheel clean off the subframe. He was apparently very chatty after the incident, saying the sole of shoe became wedged in the accelerator.

There were also eyewitness reports of Elvis crossing the street just before the incident.

Bugatti greenlights the four-door Galibier

Appearing as a concept some time ago, Bugatti has finally given the go-ahead for the follow up to it’s modern debut smash hit, the Veyron. We know second albums can be difficult but Bugatti seems to have had a proper crack at this.  The Galibier will feature the same 1000hp, W16 engine (essentially two V8s, sellotaped together) from the Veyron, which has been given a pretty good shakedown over the years.

Of course, while the Veyron was only ever intended to seat you and one your mistresses, the Galibier can comfortably carry you, your mistress and at least two of her illegitimate children that the British tabloids would love to know about. Expect the ultimate in luxury, and price, with figures being bandied about of $1.4million, this certainly won’t be the cheapest dysfunctional family transport available.

Jeremy Clarkson’s home attacked

As presenter and co-owner of Top Gear, Clarkson has made a mint and had a helluva good time doing it. He really does work ridiculously hard, and likes to take his RnR time on the Isle of Man, which incidently has no speed limits. He recently bought the beautiful old lightkeepers home, renovated it and put a fence up to keep nosy islanders and the paparrazzi at bay.

Problem: his fence cut off a “historic walk”. Only in Britain could you possibly encounter a historic walk. Clarkson diverted the footpath by not much more than a few metres, but this apparently angered local dog walkers so much that they’ve tossed his fence into the sea. And you thought islanders were chilled-out types.

They probably didn’t enjoy being called “militant dog walkers” though.
