Top 10 Celebrity Car Prangs
Earlier this week, we saw that Usain Bolt, who managed to obtain a second gold medal yesterday, isn't as good at driving as he is at overtaking all the runners at London 2012. However, he isn't the only celeb to have written off an expensive ride or two.
Earlier this week, we saw that Usain Bolt, who managed to obtain a second gold medal yesterday, isn't as good at driving as he is at overtaking all the runners at London 2012. However, he isn't the only celeb to have written off an expensive ride or two. Here are 10 other examples of celebs who've wiped out their no claims bonus.
Warning: some of you may find these images of crushed metal disturbing. Frankly, I had to break out the Kleenex whilst compiling these tragedies!
10. Charlie Sheen's Mercedes S Class
To be fair to Charlie, he wasn't behind the wheel of the S Class at the time of the incident. He takes more care of course, backed up by the fact that in Two and A Half Men he would never let Jake touch it! This car and a Bentley from the same neighbourhood were found in a ditch in Beverly Hills.
9. Random blonde lady's Bentley Azure
And you're thinking, 'why is there a random blonde lady in this?' It's because the crash that she caused in her Bentley Azure made her an overnight star. The white Merc wasn't the only victim as she also managed to scrape an Aston Martin Rapide, Ferrari F430 and a Porsche 911 in Casino Square, Monte Carlo all in one go.
8. David Haye's Mercedes SL
You'll never guess what David Haye tweeted straight after wrecking his £80,000 Mercedes SL. Actually, all of you probably thought along the lines of 'Damn you lampost!' Of course it was the lamp post's fault for just suddenly appearing in South London protecting pedestrians at a crossing. Apparently it was Haye's bodyguard that was behind the wheel and he was in the passenger seat.
7. Ian Wright's Ferrari 360 Spider
Another example of what happens when amateurs turn the traction control off. Wright wasn't even bruised but he admitted afterwards, 'Any Ferrari driver knows that when you turn the ASR off you’re dancing with the Devil. And if you dance with the Devil you’ve got to be prepared to get your toes stood on.' This was a risk that cost him £30,000.
6. Rowan Atkinson's McLaren F1
This wasn't the first time Rowan Atkinson's F1 - which he paid £650,000 for - has been damaged. In 1999, two years after he bought it, the bonnet was scuffed. Thankfully the Mclaren which he has clocked up 37,000 miles in is back on the road and the only thing Rowan injured was his shoulder.
5. George Michael's Range Rover
This crash isn't that spectacular, but the fact it was his seventh one is quite an achievement. This time, a photography shop's doorway was the innocent party and he was charged for driving while unfit through drink or drugs. He didn't learn his lesson from 2007 when he got caught under the same circumstances after obstructing a road.
4. Dennis Rodman's Range Rover
This Rangie pretty much took a turn for the worst and landed on its roof but Dennis Rodman' wasn't injured one bit. The car on the other hand? That's definitely a write off. Range Rover fans will be praising the car's safety after this.
3. Cristianaldo Ronaldo's Ferrari 599
We're so tired of footballers crashing a tenth of their car collection all the time. We got so fed up that we even had a plea to ban them from driving. Doesn't bother them though. A week's wage later and Ronaldo could buy the new F12 Berlinetta and still have plenty of change. Don't buy one Ronaldo, pretty please.
2. Lindsey Lohan's Rented Porsche 911
This was a brand new Porsche 911 Carrera S that was lent to Lindsey Lohan. The result is yet another crash since the car hire company didn't keep up with the celeb gossip betweeen 2004 and 2006 where they would know about Lohan's previous wrecks.
1. Naseem Hammed's Mecedes McLaren SLR
How Naseem Hammed managed to completely ruin that amount of carbon fibre on what was a Mercedes McLaren SLR is beyond me. It wasn't like he hit a concrete wall or a tank, it was an old Golf that was the victim. Crashing this £325,000 car earned Hammed a driving ban again for 4 years - his first ban being a result of getting caught doing 110mph. Apparently the ban has been lifted which doesn't make us feel nervous at all(!)
