Vale,"ezzz ok, I understand."

Jarvis: " the traction control now has five maps, located here, here, here and here."

Vale: "itza ok, I see that."

Jarvis: "Under no conditions will you pass Jorge unless we give you the green light, located here."

Just how bad do you have to be at business to run out of money running a snack food company?

Just bad enough to make the decision to become the title sponsor of a MotoGP team -- that will run you out of money in no time!
