Commenters changed their tune after the driver's hilarious comeback LAMBO LAST LAUGH Lamborghini driver slammed for parking '£200k supercar' in disabled spot… before getting ultimate revenge on his critics A LAMBORGHINI driver who was slammed for parking in a disabled space has had the last laugh. The driver faced backlash after he was accused of "depriving a disabled person of a space."

It led users to label the driver entitled and selfish, with a post on Spotted Torquay reading: "Have Lamborghini so will park however and wherever I like, even if that means depriving a disabled person of a space." Commenters criticised the poor parking, with one writing: "Parking like that will get him a ticket." Others mocked the driver for having more money than sense, as one said: "If you're rich enough, a fine is just how much it costs to park somewhere." Advertisement Most of the comments, however, seemed to empathise with the driver. One wrote: "If you owned a Lamborghini I bet you would park it there also rather than risking a battered old Nissan Micra opening its side door with a pensioner taking a chunk totally obliviously out of your side door." Other commenters shared a similar sentiment, writing: "They'd rather risk the fine than park next to people that don't give a toss about ramming their door into your car!" The post also gave locals the opportunity to complain about the car park itself, blaming the narrow spaces for the problems.

Moment yobs who 'stole 5 supercars worth £500k from racetrack BRAG about late-night heist on TikTok' Another took the opportunity to back up their comment with statistics, stating that the average parking space is 2.4 metres wide while the similar-sized Lamborghini Aventador's width is 2.03 metres. The driver had the opportunity to get the last laugh, however, after he submitted a photo posed in front of the car showing off his blue badge and prosthetic leg. 2 The driver got the last laugh after showing that he really did have a blue badge Credit: Facebook / Spotted Torquay Advertisement The updated photo was captioned: "A picture for all my fans." Users praised the driver's good sense of humour, with one commenting: "Fair play to the owner and also to have a good sense of humour." The original poster added that "I did ask if there was a blue badge. Almost didn't post but I'm kind of glad I did because this is a cracking pic, got to be a top 5 of all time." They added: "Turns out the dash isn't great for blue card placement and sometimes slips down. I have apologised for posting." Advertisement Comments rushed to defend the driver, with one saying: "Exactly why people shouldn't jump to conclusions! A lot of it was jealously over the car rather than the parking." Angry commenters were urged to apologise for assuming that a disabled person couldn't drive a Lamborghini. Some still took it as an opportunity to take a jab at the driver, comparing his appearance to Tiger King's Joe Exotic. Commenters on Reddit shared their own experiences of jumping to conclusions, encouraging people to have more empathy. Advertisement Others shared their experiences of being the subject of abuse after other motorists misunderstood their need for a disabled badge. One commenter wrote: "I have a blue badge for a similar reason. I wear leggings and cover my leg however. Old generation LOVEEEEE to question me on why I'm parking in a disabled space." In a screenshot of their direct messages, the Facebook page manager apologised to the driver for not asking for verification when the first photo was submitted.

These Are The Car-Related Movie Mistakes That Really Bother You
Sometimes movies get things wrong about cars. Heck, the cars don't even have to actually be present in the movie for it to be wrong. The 2013 film "Dallas Buyers Club" is a period piece set in 1985, so how did Matthew McConaughey's Ron Woodroof get a Lamborghini Aventador poster to hang on his wall when that car wouldn't be launched for nearly three decades? This is just one of many Hollywood automotive mistakes that our readers pointed out this week when we asked which car-related movie mistakes bothered them most. Maybe Hollywood should hire the staff and commentariat of to help them with their car questions, because we certainly know a lot more about automobiles, how they work, and continuity errors than anyone at a movie studio seems to. So without further ado, here are my favorite picks from your automotive movie pet peeves. This is one of the most-answered questions I've ever asked, and there were way too many good ones to fit in this post, so go check out the comments section of the question post for all the suggestions missed. I promise, it's worth it. Read more: Alleged Horse-And-Buggy Thief In Way More Trouble Than If She Had Just Stolen A Car In Casino Royale, after Vesper gets kidnapped and Bond chases after the villains in his Aston Martin DBS. He's supposedly going fast enough that he catches some air on a hill but when he jerks the wheel to avoid running over Vesper the DBS somehow flips and rolls while executing a simple accident avoidance maneuver that's not that dissimilar from what you might see on MotorWeek. All resulting in a barrel roll (admittedly quite spectacular and rivaled only by the minutes-long rollover scene in Talladega Nights.) At the very worst that should have been a spinout and instead, an exotic car somehow failed the Moose Test. That scene, as a car guy, always bother me. Suggested by LarriveeC05 The self healing Porsche 911 in Commando. The car goes on its side, but Arnold pushes it over and we see a damage free car on his departure... Suggested by Mikeuptain That whole first race in Fast n Furious where Brian was racing his Eclipse against Dom. After hitting the Nos, his tuning computer reads danger to like which manifold? intake, Exhaust? and then the floor in the passenger seat falls off, like what? Suggested by Agon Targeryan Downshifting in a situation where they are supposedly already driving as fast as possible. Also somewhat related - when the dubbed engine sound doesn't match the vehicle. This happens way more often than you might expect. Suggested by Stephen OK, you know what I absolutely hate more than anything else? When there's tire marks on the road from the previous takes.... "OK, great burnout scene, but lets do it one more time in the exact same spot". Whether it's parallel stripes from a burnout or fun swirls from something more intense, it always kills the mood for me. Just pick a different location, dammit! Suggested by Kumciho That movie fuel never degrades. You often see it in Zombie movies or other similar world-as-we-know-it-ended type movies. Someone comes upon a car that's been sitting for years, they find a battery (if they even bother to address needing a battery), they hop in, start it up and away they go! That is just not how octane-based fuel works, let alone the sea of other issues that come with an engine that has sat for years, mice chewing wires and nesting in things, moisture-related damage, etc, etc. Suggested by Dakiraun Gotta go with the E-Tron in the avengers making V8 noises. It seems small, and is overdubbing cars incorrectly is a running hollywood theme but this is supposed to be Tony Stark's super cool high tech expensive future car. Like it being an EV was the entire point they picked it and vroom. Suggested by JaredOfLondon Squealing tires on dirt/gravel roads. Grinds my gears every time. Suggested by Thomas Hajicek In Goldfinger, crushing a 5000lb Lincoln Continental (plus anonymous mobster and what apparently should've been another 2000lb of gold based on value), and placing the cube in the bed of a Ford Ranchero with an 800lb payload. Odd Job should've been driving one of the very first lowriders. Suggested by Maymar Continuing to drive a car that has no source of fuel, among other issues.

Scammer takes Malaysian man for US$542,000 ride in Lamborghini fraud
What was supposed to be a dream come true of owning a roaring Lamborghini Aventador turned into a nightmare for a 34-year-old Malaysian businessman who lost 2.4 million ringgit (US$542,561) after being swindled in a scam. Advertisement Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf revealed that the victim lodged a report on February 19 after realising he had been taken for a ride without the luxury car to show for it. 'The victim was approached by a male suspect offering to sell the sports car in June 2020. 'He met the suspect several times and even test-drove the car at a second-hand dealership in Puchong. 'He was also shown a Customs Department import form as supposed proof that the car had been legitimately brought into Malaysia,' he told a press conference at CCID headquarters in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday. Advertisement From June 15, 2020, the victim made 18 transactions into a company's account as instructed by the suspect, totalling 2.4 million ringgit.
