Wasn't Gerald Wiegert from an German immigrant when he started Vector Supercars, as I read it somewhere in a book. WilliRennen 22:42, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

I mean, was a German immigrant...

No, you are thinking of the holding company that forced Wieger out. Karrmann

I'm removing everything regarding the Vector company as well as the Vector cars, as it just duplicates info from their respective articles, and add nothing about Wiegert himself. Pc13 08:41, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Attempting to remove editorialism, repair massive style problems

I'm going to be editing this page even more heavily; the remaining bits include opinion language "He's a world class grifter" that is not only out of bounds for any reference work, but potentially actionable. Additionally, this piece needs to have the mechanics tightened up; contractions are a nonstarter in Wikipedia articles. P.F. Bruns (talk) 23:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
