It is a worry, I'm really tempted by the car, and they have come across nicely in emails, but then set against that is the issues around a certain other car during its inception, the fact that as far as I can tell they originally took orders for a release of LAST June, it makes me worry about what is going on.

I thought the only issue they'd have was wqith cvd's but these got delivered a week or so ago now?

When I emailed them they said the first batch would go this/next week, and all others in March, I think there is about 150 on the preorder list?

i think its more than 150 bud however like anything of this nature people will put there name down just for the info and never buy the car !!! then there will be others that have bought other cars, then some that have other money commitments.

I would think they would be doing very well to sell 80 first off???

However if they sold 150-200 on day one then that would be fab for them.

Next monday..... i can picture it....

Aliens land and pick the nose of an old tramp who was laying peacfully under a bridge near paris. He wakes up and gets the shock of his life (the aliens had really long fingers....) In a crazed dash the tramp runs across a nearby motorway and a truck swerves and ends up in the river.

Oh No..... the truck was full of aero's, all the first shipment.....

Just one more week lads.....

Plausible, but here's what's actually going to happen. Next week, towards then end, based on aero's own timeclock, 5 earth days = 1 aero day, we will hear something, maybe through a deep space listening station, that our cars are now reay to ship. Funny cos I thought this was going to be 2 days after the CVD's arrived in which case I would have already built mine! But the tape that they were going to use to package the boxes is defective and has lost it's stick....... but it's ok cos some more tape has been ordered and it will be there within a few days, to quote a frequently heard expression. Then the tape gets lost in the post, and the only company making it gets hit by a meteor leaving us all waiting for the tape factury to be re-built before we can get our cars

Ok if I had a hat, then I would be more than happy to eat it if my car gets delivered next week!

There are always hold ups and problems for smaller companies. When the pred was first rereleased it took forever and a day after when it was supposed to come out, of corse most of us already know this....

yeh i think people need to chill abit...its a nightmare being let down, but hey its happened to every company.. at one point...

lets just keep open minds on this people....dont start taking the piss etc. No one needs that and even if you are thinking it, just talk amongst yourselfs about it.

anyone thats met the team knows how helpful they are.......and know that they would be trying everything to get it released, im sure its as frustrating for them as it is for you guys.

i think the commitment was shown last year....how many teams have you seen travel to different countries to support there bransd at EVERY national???

It is also in the interest of Aero to get the car out and about, right now they are making no money after god knows how much investment, im sure they would of loved to have released it a few months ago but things didnt go their way
