I remember some years back when someone on r.a.s.f1 objected to Jacques Villeneuve being referred to as a "British American" racing driver. As a Canadian, he was insulted by the perceived slight on his country. I always enjoyed watching Possum Bourne mixing it up with the WRC regulars in NZ, Australia and Indonesia. I hope for a speedy and full recovery. Martin
