But they should reach out to our Greg Brown- Think of the monthly column he could write- Tech, customer stories, factory correspondence, model-specific pitfalls, memoirs about crew-chiefing. I'd read it.
I have sent Greg a few emails asking him technical questions and he has responded promptly and with expert advice that master mechanics do not give out freely. And he doesn't know me from Adam.
I salute you Greg! We are very fortunate to have him on this board.
+1, it took him a day or so to reply, but there was a reason, it was a rather involved answer that he took the time to write: didn't have to do that, but he did.
I like the idea of a Greg Brown fantasy camp. 5 - 10 of us spend a week with Greg & his crew as he uses each of our cars to illustrate common (and not so common) problems, how to diagnose them and how to fix them. We'd each pay for a full day's worth of shop labor and an additional amount for the privilege of watching and learning. Would be fun.
I'd be willing to come out, pay Greg's shop rate for a day or two so I could hang out, have my car be the focus and come back with a perfect car.
How do we get something like this rolling? I mean I know you can schedule a time with him to work on your car but how to you convince him to let you pay him to teach you? Just pay his shop rate on top of the work as a "labor charge" or something. It would be certainly worth the dollars to me. I just like seeing a maestro at work.
Here's some pic's from a couple years back, Greg's "transmission class" at Sharktoberfest.
There was more information there, per minute, than I think anyone could absorb.
But some of the criticisms seem justified. Greg may be the most knowledgeable and makes a lot of products, BUT GOOD LUCK trying to get them. I tried years back to get help with the fuel lines, got nowhere!
seems like an IN PERSON thing. Anyways that forced me to develop my own solution, which is the best looking and specced fuel lines out there

must be the beanie
You conflating the man with the business.
P.S., I've never had a problem sourcing Greg's parts.
