However, it's needed. He's in good spirits and sends his thanks to all those who've been asking after him.<BR> <BR> "He's wearing a rather fetching head brace which has the effect of making him look quite saintly, twinned with a kind of mini toga affair."<BR> <BR> [He thought friends could empathise more if they could picture him.]<BR> <BR> Thank you Chris. Mixed, but essentially good, news. Our thoughts are with him now and on Wednesday. Please keep us posted (I know you will). Those who saw the accident, in particular, will be enormously relieved that he's obviously in good spirits, and in good hands. <BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
