Surprisingly, he's a very good driver and is very passionate about cars. For those that don't watch TG, he's actually the quickest around the TG test track in a reasonably priced car!

What a shame. Guessing that'll take more than a bit of Isopon. :(

Rowan Atkinson is often to be seen driving at classic car events. He's not slow, either, in my recollection.

Shame, great actor and very funny, lovely car, at least he is OK. 

However perhaps its time for a rethink, this is the 2nd time he has crashed it after he stuck it up the back end of a Rover Metro in 1999!

Two crashes in what 10 odd years? Its good to see cars like that being used rather than sitting in a garage.

If I had two I would also be tempted to crash the aubergine one   ;D

Glad he's OK though.

Although damaged, that does not look as bad as reports suggests. His premium might go up, but i think that car will be back on the road!

A bit of Daily Mail'ism from the BBC. Fancy that!

I totally agree, I don't see the point in owning a car if you aren't going to drive it  :)
