Sorry if already posted but couldn't see it (I'll expect the Titanic pics if it has).

Son just rang me to tell me this and pmsl. You wouldn't want to be one of his neighbours, unless of course he invited you round for a race.

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has turned the garden of his mansion into a race track.
The 21-year-old Italian is apparently keen of tearing up his land on a quad bike.
News of Balotelli's hobby comes just a week after he had to temporarily move out of his new house and into a hotel because of fire damage after a firework was let off in his bathroom during a party.

Lifestyle of the rich and famous: Mario Balotelli enjoys ripping up his land on a quad bike in his free time
The strikers lifestyle off the pitch does not seem to be having a negative impact on his performances on it.
So far this season the striker has netted six goals in ten games for City including a brace in the Manchester derby last weekend.

But his off the pitch antics that are attracting the headlines as much as his goals.
A source told The Sun: ‘Mario absolutely loves playing sport, whether it’s football, swimming, karate or judo. But with the quad bike he has the speed too.

In the goals: Balotelli has been on fire in front of goal this season
‘He’s moved from an apartment block to a country house and has been tearing around now there’s no one to complain about the noise.
‘He’s like a big kid. His girlfriend Raffaella doesn’t get it at all though.
‘This is definitely something for him to do with the lads.’
The City star switched from a city centre flat to a mansion near Alderley Edge, Cheshire — home to fellow football stars from both Manchester clubs.

As it was: Balotelli's garden before he got his quad bike
His quad bike has been spotted standing unused on the forecourt while he stays in a hotel.
The source added: ‘Mario lives in a very posh area, with lots of big houses on leafy streets.
‘People aren’t living on top of each other like in his old place. But they definitely won’t have a problem hearing when he’s back in the neighbourhood.’
 
It's the Mail, so they've imagined or invented the race track.

I like the tyres on his bike, 20 inch low profile rims with slick tyres. On a fucking quad. Bless Mario, once a footballer, always a footballer, knobbly tyres are just so practical and nowhere near bling enough!
 
If you went off-road on that thing, you'd be tipped with a broken back in a matter of minutes. Nice bit of journalistic liberties though.
 
Nice Quad bike.

But those are road tyres, aren't they?

The Mail's style is to write an attention-grabbing headline followed by the same thing in prose, and then post the actual facts that invariably fail to support the headline and tagline directly below that. They are geared up to fool only the gullible.

"His quad bike has been spotted standing unused on the forecourt while he stays in a hotel."

That's the only fact they produce
