You can definitely see the similarity to the design of the great "Edson Ferrari"

Of course, the real fail here are the people actually bidding on it . . .

Handmade - you can't expect craft wheels to have the balance of machine made wheels.

Rowan Atkinson crashes McLaren F1 supercar into tree

Quote:
Actor Rowan Atkinson was hurt when he crashed his McLaren F1 supercar into a tree in Cambridgeshire.

The Blackadder and Mr Bean star suffered a shoulder injury in the accident, near Peterborough.

He is said to have walked from the car, which caught fire, after the crash on the A605 at Haddon on Thursday evening and waited for an ambulance.

Atkinson, 56, was admitted to Peterborough City Hospital and discharged on Friday afternoon.

A spokeswoman for Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Crews brought the fire under control by 8.13pm. They made the vehicle safe and used one hose reel to put out the fire.

I guess you shouldn't let Mr. Bean drive your McLaren.

speeds and reaction times increase as well, i guess. lol
