maybe Eddie is still p*ssed about Fisichella suing
him over pay he never received

I thought they sorted that one out in August 2006... ...or am I getting confused with Eddie's somewhat difficult-to-track deals here?

Would Eddie consider re-submitting a bill that had been paid by the previous management?

I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if Midland, Spyker and FIF1 had all paid the same bill.  People say Bernie is the ultimate deal maker but it has to be said EJ is a bit special.  While he was a young racing driver in Ireland he was returning from a meeting with his race car on a trailer and a couple of mates in the car.  Needless to say he was driving significantly faster than the speed limit and this attracted the attention of the local Plod. 

He asked Eddie to step out of the car in a manner that had his mates convinced that Eddie would be thrown in a cell for the night.  Ten minutes later he steps back into the driver's seat and sets off.  One of his mates asked what had happened and Eddie told him the cop was coming to collect the car in a couple of days.  Imagine being stopped for speeding and talking your way out of it.  Impossible.  Now imagine selling the cop your car.  Unbelievable.

It looks as if Eddie still owns the Land that the road to the works connects with.
He is still waiting for them to buy this strip which includes the road, he built to get to the works,as he still owns it he can put what he likes on it.

I bet it will force India to buy it pretty quick!

Jordan roadblock not an issue for Force India

Force India today rubbished reports that former team owner Eddie Jordan's closing of a road around its Silverstone factory had affected the Formula One outfit's access to the facility.

"There are two approach roads to the silverstone facility and the main public road which gives access the silverstone facility of Force India remains open and the visitors and staff have normal and usual access," Force India spokesman Prakash Mirpuri said.

Jordan was the owner of the team in its Jordan avatar and also has substantial land ownership around the factory.

Reports had come that he had blocked access to the factory by closing the road.

The Force India spokesman admitted that Jordan had indeed closed the road but maintained with the main public road remaining open, the team's access had not been affected.

"The second road created by Eddie Jordan during his ownership has been closed by him as he wishes to explore alternative uses for is land. This in no way affects Force India," he added.
