pffffff!

the worker is in holidays since wednesday, for a week. i know that.
but the boss has said "i do it on monday" and today says "on Wednesday or Thursday".
i understand that they're busy but i really don't like this kind of promise, specially when other people are waiting
i'm under pressure and very sorry for those who are waiting like me

i understand why Fabs has waited, it's not great to say something and to see nothing.
but i still give you the same informations i have, even they're not good : it's a product-experience for the futur, delay, delay, delay...

best regards

Sam

Just to let you know.

Before I start sending the gearboxes out, I want to give Nick a little bit more running on the gearbox in order to make sure that all the problems are behind us.

I think a couple more meetings with checks after every race will give us a good idea of where we stand.

Hey Fabs,

My gearbox also failed at the weekend! To be honest I'm not to bothered because I love the car. Just one question though.
Will the gear boxes be FOC? Because of the problems or will they need to be paid for?

Also, you never reall got back to me on the carbon saddle configuration parts.
Can you let me know where and how I can buy them?

Cheers!

It will be on a case by case basis. But the price will be extremely reasonable anyway.

And yes I have the conversion kits sorry about that.

Sorry that won't be possible. Even if I sent one today you would not get it in time.

Ahh well, i can wait a little.

I'm really liking the car! I've only ran it 3-times but i can actually feel myself getting faster and faster!

Hopefully the car will be bullet proof with the new gearbox!

really looking forward for the new GB.
This weekend, again, the Gb has eaten an idler-gear. Must have been my 15th idler, I guess
But at least I can drive the MCS

Sad times....
My gearbox is finally dead. I re-built the box as Nick said after the idler stripped last week, and its done it again. The warp in the gearbox must just have been too much.

How long do you expect before Nicks tested the boxes enough. I love the car and i'm very keen to have it back on the track!
