I agree completely - he's nuts. I have every indication he drives 30-40mph under the speed limit and lives in a rural area where he's unlikely to harm anyone, but even so.
I believe he has also removed his radiator fan, because the 1.0L is so unloaded it generally doesn't ever get up to temperature, even with a full grille block and hot air intake. Can't recall if he swapped his glass for lexan or not.
