Re: Mind blowing

Hi Jim,

There was something I was going to mention in the MV Agusta posting about David Kay but decided not to.

However, now that you've asked the above question I will mention it. Some time ago a Japanese customer arrived at his house with 25000 pounds in cash (the price has increased since) to place an order for an MV. David is a great character who loves animals and who calls a spade a spade. He bluntly told the Japanese gent to f... off and to go back to his government to tell them to stop slaughtering dolphins and whales. He said that if he succeeds he can come back for his MV.

That's quite something to turn down a 25000 pound order for a principle.

Best wishes,
Andre 40
