Thats the guy that was bought a 2/3 year old ferari F1 car. It was featured on a 5th gear programme. Was over £300k i think and he had to sell it back to ferrari afterwards as part of the contract. Seemed like a bad deal anyway!

As you can see it broke in two, i think it was at laguna seca. Pretty lucky he never crashed it! I think the tub had been extended for the less athletic frame of the buyer. Obviously the work was done very badly!
