    For an angry little fella Jack drives a 360 pretty darn well but in all fairness he some like a really nice guy ! But then again your all a great team and good friends, that's seen in the dynamics of what you all do, keep up the bloody awesome work.

      Jack seems like a decent chap and can eat with his hands without help. Joe has the hands of a concert pianist, can manage a knife and fork and drinks wine. Adam is the one you need to worry about. He has no boundaries and if he's in the mood anything could happen.
