Rossi handed over £500,000 to civic funds in his home town, to settle a dispute with tax officials A spokesman for the local council said: "We are really happy about the cash and it will be put to very good use. He is the town's most famous son and it is wonderful that he has given us this money. Changing the speed limit is a fitting tribute to a man who has made his fame and fortune entirely out of his skills on the road." [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
