Default D'oh! That ain't gonna be cheap...

I wonder how much damage it takes to total a Veyron.

I seem to recall that they cost 4x more to build than their sticker price...

What a shame. A stunning technological achievement.

Default Just been reading about that in the paper....the driver was doing 100 in a

40mph limit. The car spun 3 times and then hit another car coming the opposite direction (containing a pregnant woman - which luckily survived with no problems), and then went slightly up a bank and hit a tree.

They now gotta work out if it's worth the repairs, or if the Insurance company will make it the most expensive "write-off" in history.

It cost the driver just over 900,000 GBP's to buy (over cost-price), and he rented it out at 20,000 a day !
