I really enjoyed that second part.. just enough to annoy my nearest and dearest who thumped around the kitchen determined that I shouldn't be allowed my reverie, and just enough motivation to fit my rebuilt Rover V8 lump (cough, 2006) into something suitable - a Sebring MG seems the most likely candidate. I do wonder if the whole thing wasn't just a little over egged and dramatised, and what a shame that the cars weren't recovered - make mine an early white or orange Esprit please, with tartan seats.
I have just read that the Argentinian Supreme Court has given 'human' rights to a captive ape, declaring it a 'non person person'. Shame the Fernández government continues to clamp down on 'person persons'.
