    Thank you for a well--informed, great story of the legendary Tina Turner! She lived the life of a Queen, her success was well-deserved.

    You are simply the best story teller (which makes sense, hence your career!).

    I bought last minute tickets to a concert at the NEC UK in the 1980s, ended up down at the front by pure chance. She came out onto the stage and went straight to the audience and connected with me eye to eye then got up and started singing. I still can’t believe it, surreal. 🤣 Great video, thanks a lot!

    On previous visits to VSM, we would look way up on the ridge from our rental apartment on Quai de l'Amiral Courbet and try to guess where Tina lived. I must say we got it wrong. Thanks for showing it to us.

    Great story, one of the best videos. Have you managed to blag a weekend in a Ligier Myli Yet? It's French, so they might let you borrow a press car for a while. It has a big boot, CarPlay built in and Bjorn Nyland has just uploaded his second video of it revealing a 170km range in Norway temperatures! What's the ventilation like? We need a pro Ami driver to test it!
