He was rather spoiled, you'd gather...

Maybe that's why he felt so comfortable whit his host's generosity in Sydney and attempt to take advantage of his wife too.

Incidentally, there's nothing there about his 250LM period.

Good point Ray, that part of his story is usually overlooked and is an unfortunate major, major black mark, also the way he went out is pretty unfortunate. But he was one of a list of "characters" from that time who made up the F5000 ranks and that era stands alone as a one-off set of odd but exciting years.
