Speaking to his Instagram followers, he detailed: “It’s been a mad old day on Top Gear today, you might have seen that I had a bit of a shunt.
“I finally got to drive one of my fantasy childhood cars, the Lamborghini Diablo, but it turns out 30-year-old supercars don’t like torrential rain. Who’d have thought?
“If you’ve ever owned a Diablo or you’ve driven one, you’ll know just as well as me: oh my God, she can be a cruel mistress, she can be a cruel mistress, that one.
“That V12 lures you in and suddenly, ‘rawr’, it bites you. I’m totally fine. Fingers crossed, we get the car running again because it is an absolute beauty.”
Top Gear returns to BBC One later this year.
