Manolis said he'd email me when he gets back - but I think he's also on the forum? not sure. If I hear from him I will tell him to get in touch with you unless he reads this first of course.

I pitted beside him at the Euros in Italy.

It was an experience. But he is a genuine guy that wants to build and design rc cars. (He does have a really good engineering knowledge/skill.)
