Dieter was also approached by some Englishmen to build a 6 cylinder motor for a formula 2 car, but I think they never came to an agreement.
As far as pronouncement of his name, you are correct Steve, but I have also heard Germans pronounce it like ker-nicch or ker-nish. It's a little bit hard to describe it in writing. Easier to say it.
yes Wayne, you are right about that as well, but as I was told, and I don't know if I was having my leg pulled or not, (Don't know why they would ever do that as I would not do that to them) but Dieter said to me that that Ker-nish pronounce was more Berlin type slag. As you know the word for no is Nine in proper German, but ne is slag from the North and nea is the slang from the south region. Like we say na for no in some regions in USA. It's all fun though Eh?:D
