I can't even imagine what it costs to own a car like that in a country like the UK.

Evidently, the trick is to make so much money that taxes simply don't matter.

Pretty much the same as it would cost to own and run here.

Of course over there, you can actually get it worked on by someone who knows what they're doing, drive the thing as many miles as you want and not have to have the car go through a lengthy and expensive federalization!!

Looking at the photo of the crash the car does look like it might be rebuildable-so may not be written off as stated in one article I read.
