Top Gear has had its fair share of mishaps. There was that time the Stig took the Koenigsegg CCX on an off-track excursion, and of course Hammond's horrific crash in the jet dragster. The latest incident involves the one and only Nissan GT-R press car in Great Britain. Apparently it was involved in a fender bender in the Isle of Man after a photoshoot for Top Gear magazine. It seems that the GT-R wasn't damaged too badly, despite the pic of its naked arse above, and the same exact car ran up the hill at the Goodwood Festival of Speed only a couple days later.

Just was riding in a brand-new McLaren SLR (which doesn't have PDC either) last night and my friend backed into a wall... needless to say, he was pissed!

Wow. They must be pretty expensive over there if only one person has bought one in all of England. I wonder if it was the Queen, Richard Branson, or Paul McCartney's ex.
