you never know, he might be "in france" or something taking photo's

i'd give him till the end of the week, then post his email address everywhere you can possibly find if you don't get an answer

after all, you've got to be fair about it

Maybe he's been kidnapped by the French Foreign Legion who wanted their 180mph car back!

if it's the guy with 11500 rpm, he's only got 245 bhp on you, so, with the extra wieght of the granada, i'm sure you'll be on even terms with him
