When he destroyed his Brabus wheel he flew a Brabus wheel in his CitationJet from Munich to England because the AMG wheel looked unaestethic!

He deserves alot of credit for evading the Swedish Saab 9-5 Aero which took the Ferrari in front of him instread

Uh-oh... Driving on the left side in England maybe is a good idea?

Is this the guy who somehow avoided getting busted for doing 160mph down the shoulder of the M20 rather than sit in the queue for the channel crossing with everyone else?

If you read between my lines; I'm jealous, big time. If money equates to pounds...Tiny is undoubtedly one rich dude.

I wish he were my friend.
