"The Chinese owner of the Italian supercar was so frustrated with the service from his local dealer he decided to show his anger in the most extreme of fashion.

So he employed a group of willing people from China’s eastern Shandong province, handed them sledgehammers and safety helmets and let them unleash their fury on the black Lamborghini.

In the UK, the Gallardo costs a wallet-denting £140,000 but in China it would have cost the owner a staggering £465,000 ($750,000)

Crowds watched in shock as the group tirelessly went to work on the exotic motor which is understood to have suffered a catalogue of problems since it was delivered in October last year.

The owner, a Chinese entrepreneur, is understood to have had the Lamborghini taken to the dealer in November to have an engine malfunction fixed.

However, the garage failed to fix the fault and somehow managed to damage the bumper and chassis in the processAfter arguing with the dealership and various senior Lamborghini representatives, the owner decided the only way to protect his rights was to have the car smashed up – on World Consumer Rights Day.."


Madness!

My favourite line from FALILV = When Raoul is on the payphone trying to rent a car and Johnny Depp walks past him and says: "Don't take any guff from those fucking swine."

One of the greatest one-line deliveries in film history!!!

The Chinese have no idea how to fix shit.

Had I been one of the peasants, I would of jumped in and stabbed out. Friday night you'd see me pulling up at the club, car still f*cked up because I couldn't afford to get the tail light fixed let alone the whole car.

A Lamborghini is wrecked by a mallet-wielding mob - paid to destroy it by the car's disgruntled owner.

The millionaire entrepreneur was protesting at his local dealer after the £465,000 Gallardo's engine packed up within a month. The garage failed to fix the fault and damaged the bumper and chassis in the process.




After arguing with bosses, the owner paid the men to wreck the car to draw attention to his grievances in Qingdao, China.

A Gallardo costs £140,000 in the UK, but the price is higher in China due to import taxes.
