I've looked after various very rare racing cars with great history and have raced myself, my old man still races Classic bikes so I am well aware what's involved to look after them and what indeed is poor treatment as I'm still in the trade :|
I think we'll just agree to differ on how certain things should be treated and what's considered entertaining. After all, I think they chose not to air the antics in the end didn't they? :wink:
You really believe anything the Standard or its sister papers say? More fool you! The 'damaged drive shafts' bit was a total concoction. Also, the "antics" were aired, and can be found on YouTube, or torrents, or whatever.
I don't even read papers That was googled to find the story for the forum :| Like this

Even the Beeb News can be pretty unreliable =)
