Default Ron, you are correct I guess with a Cobra build it never goes according to plan....

Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the cobra faster (or somethig like that)
however, we are on track to have the car complete so I can pick it up during the first two weeks of March. I'll be returning to the US at that time so it works out well for me.

Yeah, its a crying shame I could not get it during Christmas but I would rather wait a little while longer so it's done right and gets some pre delivery miles on it by Erick.

The single biggest downside of being an expat is stuff like this, I cannot be in somebodys face in person and must resort to either phone or email and its not the same, at least for me.

That said, I am a patient guy [gotta be workin' in China] and look at in this way, when I do take delivery, all the crap, delays and dissapointments I have been thru will evaporate.

Cheers, John,AKA, tin-man
