Where is Kapel

He's probably drinking in the bar can't believe what he is reading

I reckon a Williams test drive is better than a Midland race seat

Maybe Frank has seen some ablity in the young man

Or it might tie in with the expansion plans that TATA have

Or Narian waved a lot of money at Frank
