One of my friends is in TV/Film and approached me, knowing I have a 'few' mates with nice motors for a specific year/model/colour Porsche. Took me about 30 minutes to locate said year/model/colour of Porsche. I linked to 2 gents together, arrangements we made and car was provided. It was then abused badly, damaged badly and nearly went legal. It was all fixed in the end and frankly all i did was make some introductions, but it left a bad taste. The feeling I got is that many directors are so far up their own ass they will care only for their 'work' an all the stuff around the periphery such as people and things are simply there to help them deliver their work and are disposable and for others to worry about.
Left a bad taste and no inference to our OP here who I don't know at all and I am sure is a fine upstanding sort.
