scorling Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I drove past the Mclaren centre in Woking this afternoon and just outside there was an accident with a badly damaged car on the road (a Passat I think) and a second car off the road but covered up. Lots of police activity! I had just left a client close by who had been told on the phone that there had been an accident involving a Mclaren sports car straight off the production line and being tested by a member of staff wo lost it on the very first bend. I cannot find any mention of this in any online news reports but if it's true I guess that blows Mclaren's insurance no claims out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorling Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 By the time I passed there was some sort of tarpaulin over the second car. If it was a Mclaren I expect someone nipped across the road sharpish from to cover it up. The cover didn't have any sponsorship on it, which I though was an opportunity missed. Any one any idea where Lewis Hamilton is at the moment. I don't follow Formula 1 but isn't he getting a reputation for hitting other cars?

There's always a faint possibility that someone was seriously injured in the car and they covered it up. Any one any idea where Lewis Hamilton is at the moment ? Japan.

scorling Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Some truth in the story then, and thankfully nobody was hurt apparently. http://www.gtspirit.com/2011/10/05/car-crash-mclaren-mp4-12c-and-production-delays/ In virtually the same spot today; http://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/s/2100921_burst_water_main_leaves_gaping_hole_in_a320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I think that is the new MP4? A buddy of mine whom is also a Supra owner bought one of these in Singapore recently. Singapore has 100% import car tax...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
