I don't see why it should upset anyone........except swiss toni, of course.... but apparently he knows you are posting this veiled slur on his character...so thats OK then

In what respect does the deal not "feel right" ?

I know of him - he has been around a while and seems to have a good rep in the Lotus community. I'd be surprised if it goes wrong...

I would also be surprised if the deal went wrong.
Spent most of a day with him at Spa whilst he was running his GTR.
Seemed 100% to me.

Don't worry.

Greg bought my track GTR a couple of years ago and took it to Switzerland.

He flew in to the Midlands as I had hired Brunters for a few hours to demo the car. 190+ mph in the wet and he was hooked although when it stepped out at over 150 he did nearly st himslef!

It had a short stoke SBC with Kinsler 8 stack injection,Hewland NLT + massive spec and was awesome.

I beleive he replaced the lump with a Knight Racing LS7 with a lot of trick bits (not 100% sure).

He inspects aircraft for a living so is often travelling so I wouldn't worry if communication is hit and miss sometimes.

Cheers
