Dodgy Business
Monaco may not be the excuse for the paddock to run amok that it once was, but Tony Dodgins still managed to make his trip to the Principality an eventful one
Monte Carlo saw the 2008 debut for the motorhome I use in conjunction with fellow hacks Mark Hughes and Simon Arron for a proportion of the European GPs.
It was all a bit 11th hour this year. There'd been a lot going on at home and I must confess to falling out with 'the bus' a little when a relay packed in on the way back from Monza last year. It suddenly refused to tick across from petrol to LPG. Milan to Southport on petrol with a V10 probably cost about the same as renting a Lear jet for a season.
