OT - First Veyron Crash
Got this from Autoblog.com. Love the comment....Reports this morning are flooding in of the first known wreck of a Bugatti Veyron on public roads, and there are pictures to prove it. Very little is known about the circumstances expect that the crash occured in the U.K. and was apparently the result of hydroplaning. For a car with an MSRP well over a million bucks, we assumed that when hydroplaning is detected the car would immediately enter hovercraft mode, but we now know that's not the case.

Oh, what a shame! Well, at least it's not a black/grey one, I don't quite like that red/black combo. 
That's not too bad, compared to the Audi RS6 Crash in Luxembourg.
Anyone seen that one? euroautoforums.com
Sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread, but since we're talking about a crash, this is just too amazing not to bring up!

And they don't improve as drivers either!
