He is now permanently disabled and in constant pain.<BR/><BR/>However, the saddest part of the story was that, as a motor toolmaker, he was about to join the Williams team in Didcot when he decided, as a whim, to test ride a new bike one weekend...and was pootling along around country roads when the oh-so-powerful bike took a bend too slow!<BR/><BR/>(I think you have to know about motorbikes to comprehend the physics involved). But it was definitely s huge loss to the Williams team...and to Phil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095810400750813813.post-73251496038568359112008-03-20T06:09:00.000+00:002008-03-20T06:09:00.000+00:00Hi AnneThanks for your comment re: my (kind of) sh...Hi Anne<BR/>Thanks for your comment re: my (kind of) shorn head.<BR/>We used to host the F1 Grand Prix here in Adelaide, but I'm not much of a motorsport fan, so I'm not fussed it's moved to Melb...carolynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08219383826289795943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095810400750813813.post-17787982340152932012008-03-18T22:31:00.000+00:002008-03-18T22:31:00.000+00:00I used to go to stock car races when I was a wee l...I used to go to stock car races when I was a wee little girl.
