Speedy Gonzales

After taking my Cook Islands driving 'test', involving presentation of my UK driving licence, and intimating to the very nice islander that I had much experience of driving all types of vehicles, we have hired a very simple moped for a few days.
I have been overtaken by virtually everyone, including young school-kids, grandmothers with bags of shopping and all other tourists. My excuse is that I am adopting the Cook Island time philosophy, which centres on the premise that there is no need to rush anything!
This life experience has taught me that my potential to win the next Moto GP is, shall we say, 'limited'.
