I see old Paddy has changed a bit now he's getting BMW sponsership.

Not to be cynical ( but I will ) Classic and Sportscar reunited him with his old Monte winning Mini about 10 years ago in an article. He came outside of his house , took one brief look at it and went to go back inside for his tea. "don't you want to drive it again after all these years Paddy?" asked the journalist, "No" said Paddy and disapeered!
