#3. 1959 Ferrari 250 GT TDF - $1.65 Million Now we start getting into the extremely rare classic cars. The owners who are willing to take these machines on the road are just plain crazy. The ones that take them on the track are even crazier. This 1959 Ferrari 250 GT "Tour de France" crashed into a wall at the Shell Ferrari-Maserati Historic Challenge back in 2003. Crash18.bmp

#4. Bugatti Veyron - $1.6 Million The Bugatti Veyron is the most expensive production car in history. And unbelievably, it didn't even make the top three on this list. Only 300 are expected to be produced and already two have crashed. Below is the first one. The driver thought it was okay to speed at 100 mph in the rain. He only had the car for one week.

#5. Ferrari Enzo - $1.3 Million The Ferrari Enzo sure seems to attract a lot of crashes. This is surprising considering the price tag. You would think the owners would be more careful, but we've documented at least 14 crashes involving the Enzo. That's nearly $20 million worth of crashes! The most famous was the Malibu crash of 2005, when the driver, "Fat Steven" Eriksson crashed the car at 196 mph. Below is the result. Crash16.bmp

#6. McLaren F1 - $1.25 Million The McLaren F1 took over the Jaguar XJ220 not only in price, but also highest top speed at 231 mph. (broken only in 2005). There were only 107 ever produced, and several destroyed. Including this one driven by Rowan Atkinson, the popular actor who plays "Mr. Bean". Atkinson has the unfortunate history of crashing multiple exotic cars, including an Aston Martin. Crash15.bmp

#7. Jaguar XJ220 - $1 Million Here we have our first million dollar crash (and we're only #7 on the list). The XJ220 once held the record for highest top speed for a production car (217 mph). Crash14.bmp

#8. Mercedes Benz SL 300 - $750,000 The SL 300 "Gullwing" represents the very finest of Mercedes. It is THE classic car. Unfortunately, there's been more than one crash involving this masterpiece. You're looking at a car that was once worth nearly a million dollars. The owner thought it would be a good idea to race it on the streets of Mexico . No, not a street race, but the annual "La Carrera Panamericana" race which is limited to classic cars produced before 1965. Crash13.bmp

#9. Pagani Zonda C12 S - $650,000 Only 15 Zonda C12 S were ever built but that didn't stop this owner from driving it like a bat out of hell. He crashed this beauty in the wee morning hours while driving in Hong Kong ... Crash12.bmp

#10. Bugatti EB110 - $500,000 You know these are expensive crashes when a $500,000 super-exotic barely makes it to #10 on the list. This 1992 Bugatti EB110 was being driven by a mechanic as part of its annual checkup. He claims there was an oil slick on the road which caused him to lose control and crash into a pole. The owner of the Bugatti is a famous "feel good" guru named Emile Ratelband. Not sure how good he was feeling after this wreck. Crash11.bmp

I don't know where it is but I counted 19 lanes, and thats only on the top section. Motorway.bmp

Recently I bought a new Lexus 350 but I had to return it to the dealer the next day because I couldn't get the radio to work. The car salesman explained that the radio was voice activated and demonstrated this brilliant feature. "Nelson," the salesman called to the radio. The radio then responded "Ricky or Willie?" "Willie!" he called back and immediately the radio burst into song "On the Road Again". Then the salesman calls "Ray Charles," and in an instant " Georgia on My Mind" immediately replaces the Willie Nelson song. I drove away very happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd say, "Beethoven," I'd receive beautiful classical music for the afternoon. Then I would say "Beatles," and I would hear a multitude of those great awesome songs from the 60-80's. It was fun and even my girlfriend got into it too.. "Billy Joel" and up came "The Piano Man" "Rolling Stones" and up came "Jumpin' Jack Flash" plus many other great Stone's hits... But yesterday, I had the best experience of all.. A couple tried to run a red light and I nearly creamed my new car, but luckily I managed to swerve in time to avoid hitting them. I immediately yelled in anger, "A*se Holes!" And Guess what!! Immediately up came the song "Advance Australia Fair..."

Men Are Just Happier People-- Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can never be pregnant.. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another petrol station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks and engines. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original colour. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one colour for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife.. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a moustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes. No wonder men are happier.

That was a sort of compliment Graham, however Jeremy Clarkson did say that anything was better than a Vauxhall. At least you have gone European and not Jappa or even worse, Korean.

Check out South Auckland. The motorway's not built yet so it was probably one of those nasty South Aucklanders that Melissa Lee warned everyone about.

Now that's a big improvement on the Vauxhall Graham.

Jeez Graham, Get a life and get some glasses.

4 Doors are great if you are a family person and have to get Mum and the 3.5 kids into it, however, if you are a single person or the kids have all left home (like me) then a coupe's the answer. Coupe's look better too, but I'm biased.

That is one good looking coupe mate, and I'm glad you didn't listen to the purists here. Keep up the good work on it and I hope to see you at the South East meeting on Thursday week. Don't worry about the weather, just give it a good coat of Mothers Showtime, the water will just roll off it.

I'm not sure that these will fit either of our cars Peter as our cars have ABS. These are for racing purposes therefore no ABS, so I would check with Glenn or someone who knows before you bid on them.

My two cents worth, I think it now looks semi naked. It's a sports car and should look like a sports car, and the spoiler does give it a much sportier look. Compare yours agianst my car........ which looks the more sportier? This is a personal opinion.

You would have to be insane to think that screwed up balls of aluminium foil hidden in hubcaps are going to stop you getting your picture taken by a speed camera.

That is one of the funniest I have read for a long time. Well done!! Loved this part. "They are very small ducks."
