Hello Paul

I am happy to have met you in Oxford and enjoyed talking with you.
I also just went through your website and enjoyed it very much too.
I like your copyright statements  :-)   But ehhh...  How about ?????????? ?????????? ?

And then for the humorists note of today a saying from Karl Lagerfeld , a German living in France
/The reason American cars don't sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream.
What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful.
That's why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.
/
Very true today.

Kind regards

Randolph

This is typical of the response I received from the engineers attending the symposium.
They immediately understood the advantages of turbo compounding and jumped on it.
I would not be a bit surprised if Porsche, Renault and Audi have not already started work.
Those are the three engine R&D  types I know about that attended the symposium. You could see
light bulbs lighting up on faces all over the place.

This reminds me of the enthusiastic response the Wright brothers received in Europe compared to
the tepid response they received in the U.S.. Europeans tend to be more receptive to innovation.
I can't figure it out. Are Europeans better educated in technical matters?
I can see they have a lot more to gain as the price of fuel in Europe is a lot higher than
it is in the US.

I am now working on a turbo compound  article to submit to Race Tech magazine.
