t'is but a slight scratch

Isn't that the whole idea - that the car takes the hit, leaving the occupants unharmed? I know when my wife wrecked my car, the damage to car looked awful - but the occupants were all fine.

If you watch f1 you'll know they always talk about a 'survival cell' that contains the driver and all the other bits of the car are designed to crumple or shatter and absorb energy in a making it look more dramatic than it really is kind of way.

So I imagine McLaren are using the same principle in their road cars.

Probably shouldn't have caught fire though. F1 cars don't do that these days.

Maybe Mclarens shouldn't be sold to numpties...or they're crap (I suspect the first though)

A Mclaren crashed near us a few years ago, flying down the autobahn (driven by one of the heirs to BMW) and he hit a Trabant. Guess which one could still drive away?

Everyone knows a supercar won't last very long in Barnsley. I hope it was insured to be there..
