Nick Mason has Mr.Bean moment at Goodwood.

The Pink Floyd drummer and avid motoring enthusiast sadly found the wall during the 75th Goodwood Members' Meeting in his McLaren F1 GTR.

The car, chassis #10R, is one of only 28 GTRs ever built and could be worth in excess of AU$5 million.

If Rowan Atkinson's F1 crash is anything to go by, Mason will have to grab that cash with both hands and fork out, though probably only a couple of hundred thousand judging by the relatively low-speed of the impact. Repairs cost Atkinson almost AU$2 million for his almost completely destroyed car.

Mason walked away seemingly fine with nothing hurt but his pride.

After all, it's just another Mac in the wall.

Despite studying ancient history and law at university, it makes sense Tom ended up writing about cars, as he spent the majority of his waking hours finding ways to drive as many as possible. His fascination with automobiles was also accompanied by an affinity for technology growing up, and he is just as comfortable tinkering with gadgets as he is behind the wheel. His time at CarsGuide has given him a nose for industry news and developments at the forefront of car technology.
