I just thank my lucky stars every day that I don't have to put an ugly ass license plate on the front of my car.

Has a McLaren F1 and some other fun card. He rear-ended some lady in the F1 once. If you google it some sites will say he totalled it and there was "extensive" damage...but it was a slow speed hit and this car is real tough and other sources mention ~100k (pounds, euros, or whatever they were using at the time) in repair cost (http://cars.msn.co.uk/fun/celebrity/atkinson/Default.asp). I also heard he was a real gentleman about it ... being kind/apologetic to the lady he hit and and primariliy concerned about her and her car.

To back up the comment about the car being real rough, here's a video of it's 30-MPH-into-solid-concerete crash test.

I also found the following comments at this site.

Despite their differences, the one most common thing between McLaren and Ferrari's supercars is their overall construction. Both use the Formula One technology of a carbon fibre monocoque, and both are still the only cars to have done so - probably because this is one of the major ingredients creating their lottery-level price tags. Cost aside, the solution is an ideal one, as it provides the required strength with low weight. Such strength, in fact, that the McLaren F1 became the only car ever to be able to drive away from a crash test at the Motor Industry Research Association. Before this, however, McLaren had proven the monocoque's safety in an improvised test of their own, when the original prototype, the XP1, dramatically crashed in the deserts of Namibia. Despite numerous rolls followed by the car being engulfed in flames, the test driver walked away unharmed.

Maybe he thought his F1 was a mini.:biggrin:
