Can't imagine he wouldn't create any content from that trip or maybe he doesn't want to point the blame at H2 for the failure? Can you elaborate on this anymore?

So there are a couple of things going on. First of all, I don't think he wants to throw anyone under the bus directly... It's just not his style. He is genuinely great people. We had a great time with him, an awesome time hanging out and machining his block, etc.
The motor we did for him was an S62 (we will also be doing an S65 at some point I think) and he is kind of in limbo on that video because he has a lot of stuff in the air with a new shop space and wants the video series to happen in a tight timeline. As far as I am aware, once he gets his shop space sorted out, we will ship him his block and components, and he will build the motor there (I should note here that this is an extreme exception that we've made- we do not typically supply machined components for customers to build themselves, as it opens us up to too much liability of a build gone wrong. The minimum we will ship is an assembled short block). Peter, at minimum, will fly to Germany to assist with the building process, but there is talk of all of us going for the video and to drive the Nurburgring. It's been nearly a decade since I was in Nurburg last, so I am really hopeful we all get to go lol.
