Can someone confirm this ? I am not able to download TG episodes..at the mercy of Channel 9 programmers.!!
A spokesman for PBJ & JBJ Management, which represents Atkinson, confirmed that the star had been involved in an accident but said he would not be commenting at this stage. Mr Atkinson is well known for his love of fast cars and recently recorded the fastest lap time in Top Gear’s Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. He told presenter Jeremy Clarkson he was keen on racing and was currently driving a 1964 Ford Falcon. But his racing expertise did little to quell his nerves before taking on the challenge, he admitted. In a clip of the show, uploaded on to YouTube by the BBC on July 22, Atkinson said people would “assume that in the reasonably priced car I will be very good when there's absolutely no guarantee of that whatsoever”. But the Blackadder actor notched up the fastest ever time on the show, completing the circuit in 1 minute 42.2 seconds.

He said it was a 1964 Ford "Fullcon" with a 4.7 V8.

I see a ticker on the news today, Rowan smashed up a "super car". I was hoping it wasn't this car (I was guessing the spin doctors got the terminology wrong-lol).
Assuming he may have owned a Mclaren? Or it might have been the D type Jag? |

Very capable steerer too! Is fastest around the Top Gear track in Reasonably Priced Car (Kia).
Spose it helps when your only 45KG's wringing wet! Smooth is fast. You can see it on Youtube - search Rowan Atkinson Top Gear if this link doesn't work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOg_smPzq5A
