    as I said VDS and also Hamilton,ask him next time you see him.
    From the USA.
    And of course we had and still have Peter Molloy,nice man,had dinner with him one night,told us how he spent a year in the 90s working at Cosworth just for the experience/knowledge.
    In the day he was the guru when it came to local engine builders,ie Moffat 1977 and Bobby Morris's ATCC.
