"Whats the rush?" Er... I first enquired about the IHI upgrade almost exactly 2 years ago (After talking to Mike about it at the Powerstation RR day) and target dates of GTI International (May) 2002 were mentioned!
To be honest i couldn't afford it at the time, and I decided I'd wait a year. I didn't realise it would be 2 years! I don't really think I've been rushing do you?
Also, about 4-5 months ago I was saying similar things to you whilst others were running around like headless chickens. I was saying about keeping calm and being patient... but I didn't realise it was going to drag on this long.
I agree with what you say though about getting it right, but then the delays are due to ongoing testing or design, its all just waiting for a long overdue part to be supplied.
I simply can't understand the downpipe situation. Presumably Jabba went to the Downpipe company and asked then to make some downpipes and the company said that they would be ready by a specified date. That date has been and past, and so have many many other dates. How can this happen? Did the downpipe company make up a bull$h1t date just to get the work, or did the company really think they could deliver? If the latter then what has been the unforseen
problem?
Its just that we are so so close, yet so far. It like building an cruise liner but not being able to release it because the locks for the toilet doors haven't arrived! (Ok, I'm not very good with similies and metaphores!).
Just to clarify though, I'm not saying that Jabbasport have done anything wrong and that the kits should be out now, as I'm assuming its all the fault of the downpipe company failing to meet its target dates. Where Jabbasport maybe haven't been so good is with the feedback... letting us know exactly what the
problem is, why theres a
problem, whats being done to resolve it and an updated ETA. However, i do know that they are very very busy.
