Dunno? But it's almost certainly true that his dad Phil the Greek persuaded
Gray Johnny Major in 1994 to sell (the then recovered with Honda technology)
Rover to BMW instead of surprised Honda, cos Phil couldn't bear Rover
to go to the Slanty eyes.
The result being instead of getting a successful Honda Rover we got shit.

The Sax Cobergs, sorry Windsors, have the reversed Midas touch.
Everything they touch turns to shit
