I used to enjoy watching him on TV, even SHMBO would watch it. He will be sadly missed on the Hot Rod scene. :(

Different I know, but I always think that Jock of ‘The garage’ has similar management techniques, works them hard but rewards them well with team activities. :D

Thanks for the PM Darren. :)
