The reality is that Rod is a really great guy and a true petrol head and a properly inspiring guy when you think of what he has been through (according to the doctors he shouldnt have even been alive still, let alone driving, and let alone doing 200) and still be as much of a hardcore petrol head as any of the young'uns on this site, he's just "rubbish at the internet" thats all, and who can really blame him when for the first 55 years or so of his life it didnt exist, you know what they say about old dogs and new tricks after all
I don't accept that his age or the fact the internet wasn't around for most of his life is any excuse whatsoever for the PM he sent Dave (btw there are others and I have seen them!), I am convinced that Rod knows exactly what he's saying. Fair play for defending him though Chip!
