    Oh, he must have been in a hurry and didn't have time to chat Gaz. Cos, when he rang me he told me that - Dr Castagna revealed that the surgery was more extensive than had been expected.
    “The operation itself had no particular problems, but we encountered a situation like at the supermarket: 'pay for one, get three'," he said "To give an idea of the situation it normally takes 35 minutes to stabilise a shoulder, and with Valentino it took us an hour and 50 minutes."
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Mate, have you seen the Takas lately,it's very average. Road works and double yellows and rough as guts,a shadow of its former self.
    I hear there is a new legend in the making anyway ? haha.

    With the severe "control type" racing rules now in place for the GP2 & 250 four stroke singles, - what are the proposed 1000cc rules likely to be?, Are we gonna see throttle cables actualy come back into vouge etc ?, or is it proposed to more -or-less remain a "formula development class" ?
    The field sized might dictate rationalisation of costs ????

    Lol. I'm far from the King mate, simply having a little joke. Gaz knows what I'm on about.

    Any pictures? Curious to see how it looks.
    "...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "
