I saw that car just one week before it crashed, it was parked outside the hotell I was living at when I was in London for 2days...

I was wondering if the owner was either black (or just rap inspired) or very white with very little hair.

What does his ethnicity have to do with this?

You're right, nothing at all. I can think of any number of other young overpaid sports professionals of varying ethnic backgrounds who drive recklessly on the public roads.

Fangs - trust me, it will be a lazy journo who couldn't be bothered checking the facts. The UK press corps is not renowned for its accuracy.

Mr BlueSL - surely accuracy in language is vital?

Anyone know what happened to this driver?

Anyone have any news on what happened to the boxing driver on this case? Has he been charged yet?
