There was nothing great about it. The guy who rebuilt the engine warned him to take it very easy for the first few hundred miles. Martin ignored him, drove like a twat and for some reason he was shocked when the engine went pop. I seem to remember that he wasn't particularly nice to his female co-driver (Sarah Bennett-Baggs IIRC) too, mainly because she has more driving ability in her little finger than he has in his whole body.
He's also turned up at a few Historic Motorsport meetings and made himself very unpopular by giving it the Billy Big Bollocks act whilst genuine stars like Brian Johnson have been complete gentleman.
