This is important me. Why are you first on the list? I've been waiting longer and I'm.......something better than you.

I'm #1, I'm #1, I'm #1. Woohoooo!

I think we're all lucky we're not Patrick, if that's his real name.

You know Rod, even you could clean your air bleeds.

I didn't forget.
I'm still waiting on Richard @ Halibrand.
I'll call him tomorrow if I don't hear from him today.

... hmmm, not to be the pessimist, but I detect the faint acrid smell of a deal going sour. But on the positive side, it hasn't actually curdled yet, so there still may be time.. but as RodKnock would say, "it's starting to look grim."

OK, doubting Thomas's. It's aint over yet. I just got some answers from Richard @ Halibrand.

1. CSX289 (SAAC forum) wants 4 fronts w/ no gold coloring: Richard said this is not a problem. He will quote seperately when he gets the cost finalized...
2. COST?!?! Still weeks away from getting this done. Mid January.
3. WhatsaCobra (2 sets by Spring): Richard said that delivery takes 60 days which would put us at mid March (Richard's words). May be a best case scenario, but still What if it's April or May? Would you be in or out?
4. Will the machined lips be coated? Richard is currently looking at a new coating for the lips that shows promise but won't have an answer until mid Jan.

Nothing Earth shattering but we're chipping away at it. I'll keep this thread alive thru January. If anyone has more questions, I'd be happy to ask.

Any mag owners want to share with us how awesome their wheels are? (and you can complain all you want, if they're on your Cobra, they're worth it)

OK, I cleaned my air bleeds yesterday, as you suggested, but now my tires are flat.

I was lucky to get an email per year from Richard, so Rodney is batting 1.000 as far as I'm concerned.

Honestly, as soon as I hear special requests (e.g., turkey, no mustard and onions, but add jalopeno peppers and avocado, light mayo, and if you have dutch crunch bread that would be great), I get the feeling that Richard's eyes may glaze over and shelve the project for another year.
