Well, there's always been a question over his stickability: After all, he quickly lost interest in the Hitler Youth, and later deserted from the German Army.

Perhaps they could give one of the girls a shot at it, this time - or maybe a youngster, in line with those 'work experience' schemes.

3. Read a post saying

4. Realised he'd lost the faithful
5. Resigned

He wishes to take up motor racing and become a legend in his own mind like my acquaintances the Englishman David Hobbs and the American Davy Jones. Both have won their classes at Le Mans and Jones shared a supercharged Jaguar with me and my lovely bride at a mock-up racing course in a car park across the street from the local football stadium last year.
