Shooting for the major league - Amazingly, for once the Moto crew all met up at the Channel tunnel on time. Blissy was, as always, pushing it to the limit in his automatic Rover with the Carpenters’ greatest hits blaring from his speakers, but we made it. As I was driving the shiny new Moto VW Transporter along the E40 to Valkenswaard and the in-vehicle conversation had descended into the uncharted waters of the ways of the fairer sex (I wish I’d had my dictaphone on for that one!), I received a text from a foreign number. “You are officially invited to dinner with Youthstream president Guiseppe Luongo this Saturday”, it said.
