“Watch This” Tasmania’s Most Entertaining Scotsman Describes Crash in a Lamborghini

Nothing I have ever said, done, or written has ever been or ever will be as entertaining as listening to Tony Quinn describe (in NSFW language) his off-road adventure in a Lamborghini Huracan.

Quinn is racing in the Targa Tasmania and on his way to start of the Sideling stage of the Targa, on day 2 of competition, he drove his Highlands Supercar Fast Dash Lamborghini Huracan up onto a grassy bank kicking up dirt and briefly putting the car on two wheels.

Whereas some people just admit that they screwed up, Quinn took a different approach. “It was great … I meant to do it. It was deliberate,” he says to an interviewer. Quinn then goes on to explain that he knew the cameras would be on him, knew that there were about 40 people watching, and said “Watch this,” the universal signal that something is about to go deeply wrong.

Fortunately for everyone, things didn’t really go that wrong. The car was fine, Quinn and his co-driver were fine, and they even finished top of their class that day.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
