TBH, there's a lot about that consistent with bomb damage.

Thats what I was thinking when I saw the photos. Isn't the Mclaren SLR mostly carbon fibre?

Dunno, but crashing tends to bundle everything up, whereas explosions distribute debris. I guess a 280kph crash is more newsworthy than yet another middle-eastern car bomb / roadside bomb.

That's completely dependant upon how it crashes, at what speed and how far it travels after the initial impact.

Yep, gut feeling says it still looks like bomb rather than crash to me though.

You need a new 'online' LED. That'll teach you to change your resistor for a lower value.

From those pics, I can see why.

I like to pounce unnanounced.

Looking at the 'crash' site, it looks like one of those long straight roads through the desert with sand at the edges that you see them hooning about on, on youtube.
