We arrived the way most emigrant families did. My father came first, and the rest of us - my mother, my sister and me - followed a year later.

My first wife tried to get back with me a year later, but there was no way. I used to think she was the be-all and end-all, but I got my stinky little pride back.

I first went to the Chubut valley, the colony that runs about 800km across the width of Argentina, in 2000. My uncle had been there tracing family and came back saying I had to go. So a year later I did.

If this had been last year, we would be starting a week later.

You know, it was going to happen sooner or later. We understand that. Whether it's another year, another two years, whatever, we know it's going to happen. We know nobody can play forever. But for now, the thing I'm happy about the most is that he's down here and he's getting the opportunity to play. And he's such a professional, if he can't play, he'll let you know it.

When cars are launched, we see the first year of a redesigned model as less reliable than later years. First-year blues, we call it.
