    Default Uber Hoon!

    Rowan Atkinson was in hospital today after crashing his McLaren F1 supercar on a road in east England.

    He lost control of the vehicle before smashing into a tree and then a lampost, the Daily Mirror reported.

    The car then burst into flames, with Atkinson managing to pull himself free from the wreckage.

    Emergency services were called to the scene of the accident near the village of Haddon, Cambridgeshire at 7.30pm, the Evening Star reported

    From what you posted, how exactly is he an uber hoon?

    Just read up on the accident then, and i agree with you.
    So far no details have been released indicating that the accident was a result of Rowan driving illegally/dangerously.

    I only watched the top gear episode he was in recently two weeks ago. On that he explained how much he loves his mclaren, I'll rephrase that for you Rowan, "you loved that car".

    Allegedly no speeding. Spun three times, but not speeding. Takes skill to do that.

    Kidding! I don’t know what he was doing and don’t care. I like the guy. No one got hurt. I am sorry for his loss.

    Knowing that Rowan is OK, let's hope the car is repairable. We can't afford to lose any of those F1's - they are very special pieces of machinery.

    The crash damage doesn't look too bad but the fire doesn't sound so good.

    uuummmmm.... maybe he should be doing this type of stuff on a private track like every other self respecting millionaire... this would be a hole other discussion if he wiped out a pram or car load of kids..... it would scare the pants off me too, but on a closed track
