I've had the pleasure to hang out with Alex a few times during Car Week in Monterey (the festivities around the Concour d'Elegance at Pebble Beach)
He's as much a personality and character in person as in these videos. He has owned multiple M3W's, broken chassis, been friendly with Charles Morgan, and has owned other odd and eccentric cars - Citroen SM, air cooled Porsche Targa. He drove an e39 M5 for the cannonball (driving from Los Angeles to New York) record at the time, by making sure his routing and detections schemes avoided police (including multiple in car radar detectors/lidars etc and a spotter plane, yes plane. Oh, and the car had police livery on it. He wrote a book about it and appeared on David Letterman's talk show. He's now done that cross country drive autonomously in a Tesla and in the Morgan. With a catheter.
100% of the time he's 60% serious. Smart enough to be biting but always with a smile.
