As if it isn’t bad enough that we have to hear about people crashing and annihilating these wonderful creations, now they are standing by and watching them go up in flames.

There has been so much speculation and hype about the true identity of the Stig with the Top Gear show even staging a fake unveiling on their hit BBC show, which saw Michael Schumacher revealed from under the trade mark dark visor as the ‘fake Stig’.

The sight of two stunning supercars clamped with those hideous bright yellow metal triangular plates is enough to bring tears to your eyes – then again it could be the gaudy bright blue paintjob that should be blamed for making them water. The Top Gear website has reported that the two super-exclusive exotics were clamped right outside Harrods in central London, with a collective value of around £1.8 million.
