For what it's worth, I looked at the picture and instantly, before reading
any of the text, said to myself, " that's Masta."

I agree with SpeedFreek.

Certainly looks familiar.  I can feel myself sliding round it at 150MPH
anyway.

I agree, looks more like 21.

I just flipped it round in Photoshop. It's much more like 15 if you
mirror the picture. If that's right then it isn't masta. Come to think
of it, I can't think which corner it is at all now!
