James Blunt crashes
Wednesday, October 24, 2007
A pollution-free electric Mini Cooper worth £ ½ million that was lent to JAMES BLUNT has been taken off him again — after he thrashed it to pieces.
The car, one of only two in the world, was developed by NASA and ran on state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries.
James, who had been driving it since May, said: “There was no petrol, no fumes and was the fastest car I’ve been in — totally silent, like a stealth Mini.”
That was the start of the problem. “I didn’t crash it but I did break it. I was going too fast.”
The car is now going into production and will be on sale from next year.
“I’m sure they’ve learnt a lot from my mistakes!”
