Personally, I don't see him as a moron, but I have seen how they beat the heck out of cars. If I were given a show, and an unlimited number of Luxury cars to flog, you can bet I'd be flogging till the cows come home...

Is the interior all worn out from him trying to stuff his big ego in there?

I'll bet he doesn't thrash his own cars like a freebie from a manufacturer.

Having said that it's just a car isn't it?

I'm pretty sure he doesn't thrash his own cars. There are a few episodes, one where he brings his black series to the show, where he is very strict to May and Hammond about eating, flogging, doing weird stuff in the car. And he himself says that he isn't going to destroy his rubber like he would a car he's reviewing.

Having said that... I still wouldn't touch it. It must reek of old man farts.
