Nice...the SLR seems to hold up pretty well for a 209mph crash.

If the driver in the other car survives and decides to sue him, I'm sure he'll be able to afford a McLaren SLR too.

It was just a matter of time. I have seen every supercar wrecked I think besides a McLaren F1 and Ford GT but I give the GT another 2 months at most.

A police spokesman said they were being questioned about leaving an accident and attempting to pervert justice,

Yeah, I've always wondered myself where Prince Naseem went off to. After that loss he disappeared. Surprising because he was such a confident/arrogant fighter.
