After a drunken night out, Ian Gillen (Black Sabbath vocalist for a brief year-long stint) decided to race a brand new Granada, belonging to Paul, the then SABBATH tour manager, around a grand prix go-kart track. After umpteen laps he struck a rock and flipped the machine over leaving it upside down, completely written off.
Ian left a note on the message board saying "Dear Paul, I've left the Granada down on the go-kart track and the keys are in it!" Paul was so angry when he discovered
his pride and joy wrecked that he poured petrol over Ian's boat, set it alight and torched it in true Hawaiin funeral tradition down a nearby canal!
