I should think you feel Very Heavy
I'm certainly not going to try and lift you off the ground
And thankfully when you were on the Multi you never toppled over onto me I would have been squashed

I think we should petition for a Class C in DD - for the fully grown gentleman.

How about ditching qualifying and replace it with a practice instead. Then chose the grid randomly.....that could be....fun... I think the MZ's do this in Bemsee
