The journalist that crashed the Sport Q was John Matras.
Beddor's comment was "Well, that's racing".  Indeed.  The
Beddors do have a deep pocket...  a couple years ago Steve
Beddor totaled a *very* expensive Ruf Porsche.

> That photo is of the sport quattro Frank lent to a journalist from European Car to drive at the Virginia City Hillclimb.  The "Journalist" subsequently wrapped it around a telephone pole.  Luckily, the only damage was to the door, which apparently can be had from a 4000.  He didn't damage any of the composite body panels, at least not terribly.  No word on Frank's reaction.  A good article nonetheless.
