Pinch EVERY Penny!!

.. and everyone would have you believe that it's us Scots who are tightfisted with our pennies!?!?

Mind you, I have to applaud Seb for this kind of "shopping around" regardless of his annual paycheque!!

Best Regards,
Cal :)

Totally agree Cal. I think this also resonates well with fans too.....yes they can of course easily afford it with the superstar earnings but none of the fans like to be ripped off either. I know it's the law of supply and demand but some of the eye-watering price hikes on things such as accommodation can sometimes make the difference between getting to a race and not.

Good on ya Seb

I agree! It's good to see somebody in his position standing up against the gougers.

I like the Triumph he's riding in the picture much better than any Suzuki.

I like the 2nd picture, boy could those Triumph's accelerate, but further down it says he often rides his Suzuki to the track.
