Ive pinged him an email, but they have rejected it before - evidently not very "practical". And I thought Will loved anything with a V8 in it?

No where near as practical as Doris is it

Keep trying guys.

PPC is about as organised as a very unorganised thing.

After asking their admin dept, circulation dept, Will Holman, Kevin Leaper, the office cat and the pot plants to take notice of my change of address the mag still goes to an address where the nice man reads it before I pick it up!!!!!!!

I see the new spagley towers has a long flat driveway - good for more precision engineering.

I'll give Will a call on monday and see what he actually wants. I was somewhat peeved when a journalist appeared on the yahoo list last year looking for cars when Will knows full well that I am in contact with a decent percentage of the UK community.

I dropped Will an email last week when the subject started and he said they wanted to see my car - and they will in touch.

So we will wait and see then..

I do have the hallowed megasquirt and I heard nothing more from Will. This wouldn't be the first time its happened either. I think I might put a sticker on my MS saying "emerald" - then I might get a better response.

Being more serious for a second VEMS has evolved into something very different than MS. The code is not open source, the support group is very much smaller and the installed base is tiny in comparison. As the developers make me seem humble and down to earth then

it is not suprising. In other parts of europe the position is different, but here in blighty that is the case.

I still need to find time to call Will and find out what is happening. He does need to decide if he is about practical performance or is just an advertising front.

Do they need people to travel anywhere or do they come to you?
