Idiot Driver!

Post your condolences

serves him right
i hope the other people were ok though

I'd scream forever in a burning hell if i crashed a beauty like that.

Hope the engine makes a speedy recovery...

£800K car with 1000 horses?????
i bet the Astra had less damage, just goes to show they all still buckle

I don't actually like the car that much. Sure it has a great engine, and will kill you or make you pass out after a bit of over usage, but it's not what i'd call a good looking supercar! I mean it's not bad looking, but it's no Charlize Theron, more of a Ginger spice in my opinion.

I'd much prefer a Mercades DTM if i was going to be spending that kind of money!

And here's one for you, although the older version is nicer!

But John, thats no CLK GTR...

The Veyron isn't that great.
A Ford RS200 with a few tweaks will out accelerate it and who really needs to get to 252?

The EB110 is still my Buggati of choice.

(Apologies if the links aren't right.)

I'd still have the DTM! I love the sport, and i'd love to see Audi bring out a DTM version of the S4/A4!

Maybe at the low end yes, but definately not in the mid-range. In a drag race to 200mph, give a McLaren F1 a head start to 120, and the Veyron STILL gets to 200 first.

It is an ugly beast though. Kinda looks like a two-tone slug. I'd take a Pagani Zonda over one of those any day.

its a loss to the world of engeneering, ok its not the best looking car but its better than a ginger spice, id say its about a helen chaimberlaine

Ahhh, thanks ison.. just gonna go put a reminder on soccer am for the morn ;)

Im still in shock. Apparantly the car was hired! The driver hired the car out for the day which cost him £20,000. Not bad compared to the amount that the insurance company is going to have to fork out!

Actually, I'd say it's closer to Alec Chamberlain (Watford goalkeeper, oldest player in Prem).

Get over it lovepump, it looks better now.

Well, the looks of it are just a matter of opinion!

Although I'd rather have the new lambo murcielago 640!

Who really needs to get to 200mph anyways though?
The car really does serve no purpose at all.

I was just pointing out that it has pretty impressive acceleration. It's a car you'd have to take to a track to fully appreciate (like any supercar). I'd take a good looking slow car over a fast ugly one every time.

Now that is a beautiful car!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I really like the RS200, at least after its had the Spotlights removed. Although, it was built in the Reliant factory less than 100ft from Reliant Robins.
