Re: IE 9

Talking of which, aren't you glad you didn't know this when you were young(er)? Or perhaps you did? (It may explain Bob's remarkable success with the ladies.)

Although the Motor Racing Medics site seems to be down (http://www.motorracingmedics.co.uk), the following prices were posted on the GoMotorsport site in November 2010 ( here ).

Re: Greeting from the Silent Monks
