    It won't get a rise out of him, but it will get a well deserved chuckle from him I am certain.

    I am familiar with Graham, he assisted a very good friend a few years back who was racing in NZ. Heck of an engineer and fabricator, with a world wide reputation to back it up.

    As you say: a very clever engineer and fabricator.
    But a world-wide reputation?
    I hadn't realised that!
    To us he's just Graham...
