Feel free to read this story upside down for authenticism.

In a recent press & customer track day at the awesome !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in Victoria, Australia a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster caught fire, with flames visible from the cabin. A number of fire extinguishers were needed to put out the Burning Bull.

Lamborghini's head south-east Asia and Pacific, Sebastien Henry then asked all media in attendance not to report the embarrassing and expensive failure, claiming it was caused by "the vehicle's extended track use in a high-temperature environment". At the time the 'high temp environment' was a whopping 14 degrees C (or 58 F).

Oops.

If 14 degrees C is "high temp" in Australia then I'm the King of England

If that's high temp then these are great beers.

I was at a club a few weeks back and they were serving the tall PBR cans for $10. Most people over here don't realise where that beer sits in the hierarchy.
