When their Embassy tweets what Brits might see as subtle humour or satire, it is meant as a genuine insult. Did you get that astonishing fact from the Sun or the Daily Mail?

Well, it was actually rumoured to be a Ferrari (and other sources, a VW Beetle) but... Quote Legend: A red Ferrari is visible during the chariot race. Background: Apparently there is a split second glimpse of a red sports car behind one of the pillars at the stadium. The background to this legend is unknown but it still persists. True or False: False Legend Explained: totalfilm.com , ever dedicated to the facts, has spent many hours studying the chariot race footage. We can conclude, with bloodshot eyes and motion sickness, that there is no sign of a sports car of any kind during the scene. Director William Wyler vehemently denies this claim, along with Heston and others involved in the production. Several books and websites concur with our verdict, and if it says so in a book then it must be true.
