Sent him a few mails recently and not received any answers.
I noted the website has been updated with his California address
Anybody made contact with him recently?

Spoke with him a couple weeks back about an engine project I'm working on. He was hugely helpful and actually emailed me the "blueprints" for what he feels I'd need in an engine to reach my power goals.

I get the feeling from previous Rennlist posts that he likes to deal with people he's already dealt with and an email from across the pond will not likely get any response. Does the new website have a contact phone?

Drifting
According to John he is retired. Retired as in no new work and he is selective with his time on past projects. He sold a lot of his equipment and has no shop. "We" talk to him relatively often and if you need a cam or somethng I can find out what he will do. He did not grind the cams himself so they are still "available" but they need to go through him. I spoke to the guy that actually grinds the cams today about some 911 cams and will speak to him on Monday. I can ask if he knows what can be done about purchasing a Milledge cam.

I have spoken with John and exchanged emails in the past. Just wondered if he had given up as he has always responded quite quickly. He is a top bloke!

Jon Milledge makes very fast race cars. First one I saw was at LRP. Really fast cars were turning 59 sec to 1:05 laps back before the track was repaved.
This car was turning low 50 sec laps smooth as butter. Driven by Wodie Weiss.

Jon's web site is down and he has a new email address. Like mentioned previously in this thread, he is attending only to certain previous clients and the such. Stay tuned on the camshaft availability front, for there has been some very recent developments.
