Rawrrrrrrr Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 There has to be a real chance that this will turn out to be a footballer or other sort of celebrity. Not many average joes driving round in 160k cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Bishop Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Another report says ... A MAN has died after a fireball crash in his ?180,000 supercar. The 26-year-old's black Lamborghini Gallardo left the M8, crashed into several trees - and ended up on its roof - before bursting into flames. His female passenger was thrown clear during last night's accident. The horrific crash happened at Junction 4, Whitburn, shortly after 11pm. The westbound carriageway of the M8 was closed until 6am today while investigations were carried out. advertisement The driver, whose name has not yet been released, died at the scene. He is believed to be from Central Scotland. His 29-year-old passenger is being treated in Wishaw General Hospital for a broken collarbone and abdominal injuries. A Lothian and Borders Police spokeswoman said the car was being driven westbound when it ploughed into several trees, before coming to rest on its roof and bursting into flames. Appealing for information, the spokeswoman added: "We are extremely keen to speak to any witnesses who were on the motorway last night. "Anyone who can help should contact police as soon as possible." The Lamborghini Gallardo can top 60mph in just 3.7 seconds and also featured in the latest Batman movie The Dark Knight. Among the celebrities who own the 200mph luxury cars are football stars Wayne Rooney, David Beckham and Robinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super T Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Whoever it was wasn't necessarily from West Lothian; just trying to get through West Lothian as quick as possible. I've seen one regularly going back and forward along the A71 over the past few months but it didn't look like a footballer nor someone in his 20's driving it. My brothers mate had one and I immediately thought of him when I seen this this morning until I remembered he'd sold it and he's also certainly not in his 20's!

alwaysthereinspirit Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Sounds like not wearing a seat belt was a smart move by the passenger. Hopefully the poor bar steward was unconscious before the fire. Worst fear is being trapped in a burning vehicle and conscious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lf042 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 For all you folk who think its ok to post detrimental comments like these about someone you know nothing about.........you should be ashamed!!! Gush was not a drug dealer - just because he had money thats what you assume??? Try the fact that he worked hard!!!! He was known by so many people it isn't funny and has left every single one of them devastasted. He wasn't from Lothian he was from Glasgow, he travelled that road to and from Edinburgh. Try watching for the facts before you post comments like this!! I'm just a friend of his but imagine someone from his family saw this!!!! Go get a life!!!!!! Berti Vogts... Ratboy....People who post jokes about things like this are sick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therapist Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 the only detail known is a ?200k motor has been written off. It's not a ?200k motor. You're confusing the Gallardo with the Murcielago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 It's not a ?200k motor. You're confusing the Gallardo with the Murcielago. Given they're both just flashy sooped up VW's, an easy mistake to make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
