    Getting your own back on Insurers

    Anyone seen this
    The people covering one of Rowan Atkinson's cars have just forked out a staggering £900,000 to fix it - the biggest repair bill in British history.

      My question would be how did he get out of that with just a shoulder injury? I know the F1 would have proper safety features that would have been honed in Formula 1 but my god he must have had one hell of a headache after that!!!

            good F1`s like Rowans was are at approx 3million GBP upwards

            so the bill was chickenfeed

            thats why these people with classic ferraris and astons arent bothered when racing them as they will always be repaired rather than total loss!

              I'd image the rear end of the car is designed to break off in an impact, to take a lot of the force away from the passenger cell

                    Why feel sorry for them? They wouldn't feel sorry for you.
