    What's up with these people driving around with SLRs and Porsche GTs? Do they feel like they're invisible or somethin that they just fly with their cars?

    hahahaha.

    never liked the guy anyway. poor slr though.
    from http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlf...crash%20riddle -

    British boxer PRINCE NASEEM HAMED is being held by police following a high speed crash involving his luxury sports car yesterday (02MAY05).

    The former world featherweight champion is being quizzed by officers on suspicion he fled the crash scene with two accomplices following the accident which left a motorist in hospital with serious injuries.

    Eye witnesses report Hamed's McCLAREN MERCEDES SLR - which sports the unique number plate NAS1 - went out of control during a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre on a country lane near his home town of Sheffield, England and crashed into an oncoming vehicle.

    An onlooker says, "I heard a car hurtling up the road. There was a bang and a second later another. I ran out and there was a terrible mess. Two men ran past me. I said to them, 'I think you ought to wait where you are.'

    "As they ran away one turned and shouted something like, 'I'm going to a phone.'"

    A driver was left trapped in his wrecked car and had to be cut free by attending firemen before being airlifted to hospital with a suspected broken leg and fractured arms.

    People who buy these 400-500K cars are affluent people who have made their fortune by taking a lot of risks. Some on the other hand inherit them. All the more reason why these people have no respect for other people and their property. They take huge risks and jeoperdize their own safety as well as innocent by standers. Now, not all that could afford these luxuries and toys are all bad. Im just saying that these previous examples (carrera gt, slr) are those that fall into the category of false invincibility due excess wealth.

    ...owning them is one thing, the capability of actually driving them is another.

    frm the crash pics, i think the driver will survive. mukhang intact naman yung driver cabin. the engine bay absorbed all the damage. and haba talaga ng nguso ng slr.

    ...based on the article above, the alleged driver (prince naseem) fled the scene after the crash. yung sinasabing trapped driver was from the car the SLR crashed in to.

    ...lumalaban pa ba tong si prince naseem? napapanuod ko pa sa TV yan na pa-tumbling tumbling pag nananalo. prinsipe rin ng yabang.

    I've read this from one of the forum;


    "This has been coming for a long time. I have personaly been nealy hit by him or some of his entorage on a number of occassions!!!!! And im suprised he has not killed anybody with the way he drives around sheffield!! And yes, i do live near this class A cock!! The first time, he was in a Diablo at 8.30am. I was on my way to work and heard this very powerfull car long before i saw it, the next thing i know is seeing a black Diablo in my rear view mirror overtakeing a very long line of cars. At this point i see a car comeing towards me and him in the oposit direction, he is then forced to pull right in front of me to avoid a collision causing me to lock my brakes to avoid hitting him!!! He then wheelspins off leaving me and the driver of the oncomeing car looking at each other in disbaleaf!!

    The second time, i was pulling out of a side road when all of a sudden a 4X4 doing about 100mph flashed passed!!!!!! I saw the car later that night and it had a NAS numberplate on it. I later found out it was his brothers car.(who was in court not long after for chasing an inocent driver and beating him up!!)

    The last time which was about 6 months ago, i was turning into a side road when an AMG M class came flying up the other way. As i watced it, it just turned towards me!!!! The driver at the very last second hit the brakes and stoped about 6 feet from the side of my car!!! That got my heart pounding i can tell you About half a mile down the road the merc passed me on a blind bend followed by the prince himself in his siver merc, not unlike the one he has just smashed into another car!!

    A couple of people i know have had a few near misses with this cock too.. They should ban this prick and his entorage for life before they realy do kill someone

    nope, kasi designed yun mga cars na ganito para sa matatanda na talaga since sila lang yun nakaka-afford. the thing is, some young and hot-blooded guys were able to acquire, kasi may pera sila. These cars were more of 'status symbols' rather than sports cars. mercedes, ferrari, etc. targes the old wealthy guys, they didnt expect na may gagamit ng mga ganito at ihahataw sa kalsada. akala nila kasi since matatanda na hinay hinay lang or sa race track ihahataw... but we dont live in an ideal world, some young guys hit these cars on the road, and kaboom... ayan nga...

    Huh? I thought it was both. AFAIK these cars are designed for speed and performance in mind.

    Any car, in a hands of a irresponsible driver can be dangerous not only sports cars, the only difference is that these guys make the headlines.
