Personally I think Alex Roy is a bit of a tool. He is like so many people I know who have been successful in business and indulge in fast cars but also have the massive ego to go with it.

If you can't do that then what's the point of being successful and having obscene amounts of money? Hell, I would do the same thing, but also with planes and boats.
