Accidents happen when you actually drive a car. Putting 37,000 miles on a McLaren F1 is pretty awesome. I'd rather see the cars get actual use and take a few lumps than sit unseen in some sultan's warehouse.

Just for celebrities maybe?
And currently the McLaren people (F1 guys) are on a break, so they got some spare time to fix it..
