best developing enjoy moving people
I enjoy what I do - developing cars, moving forwards and getting the best out of them. And yes, a lot of people would like to do what I do.
budget people
We don't have a lot of people - we don't have the budget for a lot of people. But we have a budget to do the job, but with no wastage.
bits car good hoped job pieces stage
Unfortunately we don't have all the bits and pieces on the car that we had hoped to have by this stage so we've got to make as good a job as we can with what we have and we feel we are doing well with that at the moment.
confident good plate question six step
There is no question about that. We do have to step up to the plate in that area. I think we are confident and if you look at the Under-17 Boys, six of them qualifying in the 100. That is a very good sign.
although far good
From where started, I think it is too far down to try and win a championship at the end of the season, although we had a very good first race at Mondello and scored some good points.
setting
I don't think it's so much of a disadvantage setting up from scratch.
I'd like to see us improving on what we had last year.
aspects full looking meets technical ways
We take full responsibility, but we are always looking at ways that the technical aspects of the meets could flow.
projects workshop
We've had to set a workshop up; we've had to equip the workshop and everything else. But all that equipment is there now and whatever projects they want to use it for in the future.
court loves
When he makes a play, he comes down the court with a big grin. He's loves being on the court.
aims best
The team's aims are do to the best we can basically.
effort forward hard moving putting results trying
The team is very enthusiastic - everyone is trying hard to do their best, and everyone is putting a lot of effort in to moving forward and getting the right results and it's a very good, close-knit team.
might millions ok pounds pulled won
The one I was driving for at the time, Nissan, they pulled out after they won the championship, because it was costing millions of pounds to do a national championship and ok, that might be ok when you're doing an international championship, but not for a national one.
caring crime means people versus
A crime versus people is a crime versus God. It undercuts what it means to be a part of a caring world.
