Default 70 Year old goes for a spin in his S2000

I heard a rumour that some old geezer aged (almost) 70 span his S2000 today coming off a roundabout somewhere in North Wales.

Did a 540 with his wife in the car, didn't hit anything.

He was allegedly showing off having been revved at whilst stationary by some "boy racer" before entering the roundabout.

His mrs has vowed never to step in the car again.

I hope he takes either:

the council,
the tyre company
the inventor of tarmac,
the inventor of the compound rubber,
the local industry (that has contributed to global warming, thus increase of precipitation in the area),
or a whole generation of youth for creating the boy racer

to the small claims court.
