Not sure I'd trust him in anything but the roller skate 24 hours (yes, there really is one!) myself.

Not even sure about that, some of those roller-skates can be quite pricey these days you know ;D

In summary:-
Great designer. Useless driver. Wallet bigger than his talent behind the wheel. Don't do it.

I think you are right, his walllet is bigger than his talent. Some, more cruel than I, might suggest his wallet is bigger than a certain part of his anatomy ;)

Was the last crash he had at LM down to steering or brakes?

Maybe. Matbe not. The one he had at Goodwood was down to sheer idiocy.

This is a joke right? The guy needs to come to grips with reality....he makes a pathetic racing driver! That said, every year there are drivers taking part that should never have been allowed near a racing car. More money than common sense, and talent. But he'll find someone desperate enough for cash, perhaps he and Alex Yoong can find a ride to share (and crash).

Oh for goodness sake! I may be wrong (and it wouldn't be the first time) but, if memory serves correctly, the last time he was seriously involved was on the end of a phone answering why the Merc SLK GTRs were playing flying machines...........
