Accidents happen when you actually drive a car. Putting 37,000 miles on a McLaren F1 is pretty awesome. I'd rather see the cars get actual use and take a few lumps than sit unseen in some sultan's warehouse.

So if you crash your multi million dollar car you send it back and they fix it for you.. How nice of them.

Just for celebrities maybe?
And currently the McLaren people (F1 guys) are on a break, so they got some spare time to fix it..

the faster laps tend to look slow and come from smoother driving.

And one more comment from Clarkson, on all of his practice laps, the lap times were all consistent!!!

If Mr. Bean and Chuck Norris were to battle my bet would be on Mr. Bean.
