I thought this was a wind-up when I first saw it, but no.

Look away now if you like Lamborghinis...



This is Billy Idol cutting a sunroof into his own Gallardo on Bam Margera's Viva La Bam program on MTV.



These people should be banned from owning such cars.

Only

It's not like he hacked off his grannys legs is it ?

Life is a lot less stressful if you don't get precious about motors. Just drive them.

I'd have to agree with that. I'd also like to add that he's a bit screwed if it rains!

It's only a car indeed, but I would rather he give me the lambo, and he cut a sodding great hole in my xantia the lobotomised knobber.

True, but its still pretty offensive to see people vandalising beautiful motors that many people would give their right arm for.

I don't think I'd give my right arm for one, could make driving it tricky.

Probably the final cash left for his appearance in the Wedding Singer.

I imagine he probably took it straight back to a Lambo garage to get fixed anyway. Would cost him a bit though

He has a new album out that is doing OK.

And he made plenty dosh in the good old days/still gets royalties from the oldies.

He's not somebody to feel sorry for - he's having a fine ol' life.

I'd want to be getting rid of a lot more of the bodywork than just a patch on the roof if I had one in that colour....

The drummer in Def Leppard who lost his arm in a car crash I believe. Ahh the innocence of yoof.

Do you really mean that this offends you ?

It is his beautiful motor, which he bought with money he earned. What the heck has it got to do with any of us what he does with it ?
I could understand your taking offence if it was not his car.

Frankly, yes. I'd be equally offended if someone bought the Mona Lisa and painted a moustache and spectacles onto it.

??

The Mona Lisa is a unique, irreplaceable work of art.

A Gallardo is just a mass produced commodity.
Sometimes you guys seem to forget that when you act like they are some sort of holy relics.
