Rowan Crashkinson (NLC)

Post by tonyg » Fri Mar 07, 2014 3:12 pm

While net wandering yesterday stumbled on the fact that Rowan Atkinson had crashed his McLaren F1 again last year -

Repair bill - £910,000 :shock:

Bet his renewal has gone up.

EVO had to insure the XP car they had on test for £6 million.
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.

....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Who would have thought crashing into a reliant robin would have cost so much!

Boggo standard or not, even the colour doesn't spoil the way that car looks.

Im afraid that is a car that will likely always be an un ticked box for me and most others!
