^ true but I wonder if he was speeding or trying to show off and thats why he crashed.

If I had that car I would drive it but sure as hell drive it at the speed limit and ease it around. Until I get to a track with open space.

Also I would of not driven my F1 if it was wet out, 600+ hp with no aids is something I would not drive to the store and back with.

He said during the Top Gear interview that he had something like 37,000 miles on the F1. I say good for him, for actually using the car and letting other people see it rather than buying it and just hiding it in a garage somewhere.
You know, there's a time and a place to go fast. And a normal, public road doesn't generally seem to be a good place to do it.

It was the wet that got him. My GTO is like a cow on ice in the rain, even with the traction control on it will try and kill you.

He did say in the Top Gear interview a few weeks ago that he had become a fan of the Rolls Royce Phantom. Perhaps he'll trade POWWWAAAA for luxury?

I'm sure he has other super cars to play with.
