I drive a slow car and sadly empirical observation does not support your hypothesis under the rules of exclusivity.

I didn't know powerful autos like that were allowed in the UK. I would have thought the nanny state would have banned them

At least he's fine!
I thought about his recent appearance on TG as well, he had commented on how he still owned the McLaren F1... not anymore.

As the Italians say, Allora... I'm glad Rowan's OK, of course.

Expensive super-sportscars are wasted on public roads, by a) rich teenagers, and b) middle-aged men in mid-life crisis.

I'm reminded of a rich kid I knew from prep school who was given a Pantera and promptly wrapped it round a light post. In case you're unfamiliar, here's one:



The kid went on to become a lawyer and well-known author. Of course.

Why do people give kids with hardly any driving experience cars with several hundred HP? It's just beyond me.

Pantera. De Tomaso. I remember them very well. They briefly made F1 cars. Briefly because they weren't very good at it.

I always liked the comedy routine of Rita Rudner about this

"Every time I see a middle aged man driving a Ferrari, I just want to walk up to them and say 'sorry about your penis not working'"

Take one of these


No matter I figured I will ride something ridiculously fancy in heaven instead.

And the chance to crash it into some very powerful living being's homes just for fun to see how it will go.

Every time a F1 is totaled, the world loses a great machine. RIP Mr Bean's F1.
