Shift through my older posts by subject.
Here is a list of some other interesting blogs.
Must have been doing those driving tricks you got linked a few posts back.
Shame on you Mark.
It’s called population control. The stupid ones do stupid things to remove themselves from the gene pool.
oh well at least he died happy.
asta’3firullah….walla hal nas moo fahim laish isogoon ibsir3a. Madri laish mista3yileen,
Looks like he’s been involved in a hamas homecoming………
Damn it. Why do morons go around thinking that dicks get bigger when you drive faster?!
Other than a wheel (which could easily be a fake) what the hell says that this is a wrecked SLR?
Screams Fake
y would it be a fake?
Look at the exhaust tail a third of the way up from the lower far left of the picture… it definitely came off an SLR…
allah yer7amo!
What say’s it’s real Mark?
A broken headlamp and a wheel?
Plus, the car looks way too mashed up. For USD 500,000 you can bet this car comes with some major safety features and it certainly wouldn’t just disintegrate as per this picture.
The junk in the pictures could be from a wanette for all we know.
are you one of those conspiracy theorist?
Oh yes, yes yes
It does have safety features… traction control, advanced ceramic braking, composite carbon fiber chassis and body, but this car had a driver and he probably switched all those off making a high speed pass…
He was probably doing excess of 240kph maybe more than 300… and got caught by side wind and lost control and hit a lamp post or another car. And physically if he hit a lamp post… that would be like falling from a height of about 1km… maybe more u think something would survive that?

allah yr7ima inshallah
these high end cars are made to save the driver (allah yer7ama) i bet that the driver didnt wear seat belts which all arabs think that its disrespectful (to wear seatbelt) and you can see how the cabin is clean and unharmed from the crash but the massive speed and over Gs that developed from the crash fataled his life these cabins are made just like formula one cars composite carbon fiber and can take over 10G (Maybe less maybe more) of its actual weight …allah yer7ama
o Guys and Gals please wear seat belts save your soles if you drive carefully others on the same road dont

Mclaren Mercedes SLR for sale.
Some assembly required.
allah yer7ma…poor kid :(
Probebly what he wanted so much killed him, thats why sometimes its bad to get what we want so much!
where is the road ?
was he driving on the sand or what ?
must be the top speed to do this much of damage !!
To hell with car someone died for god’s sake!
قطر = خطر
What exactly did he crash into?
According to an e-mail forward I received from a friend, the driver was Shaikh Jassem bin Hamad bin Jassim bin Faisal Al-Thaani.
How did this happen?
I drove past the wreckage the next morning. So to confirm it was a Mclaren Mercedes SLR. I seen it, so no conspiracy there. He didn’t hit any light poles, it was at night when the crash happened, so no telling what caused him to wreck, the tire marks left on the road aren’t very long, so he didn’t hit the breaks long before he left the pavement, once you levae the pavement where he did, the ditch slopes down quickly, so he definitly rolled almost instantly. not sure what the exact distance from where he left the road till he stopped but it was a long ways. speed had to be in the upwards of 260+kph. story from people that supposely knew him are that his dad owned the city centre mall, if you don’t know, its the largest mall in the middle east, or so they claim. so his family had to money to buy the car. and they say that they now how fast he was going because the police found his cell phone and he was recording his speed with it.
R.I.P. Wot mo can I say!
BooM!
U have no rights to make jokes about the accident god knows what were his cuircumstances that made him drive at that high speed
So if u guys could afford an SLR wouldnt u try it to its highst speed limit sure u would!!
allah yer7ma!!
