I wish Erik nothing but the best . I've had money tied up with him for 6 or 7 years . I was so intrigued with what he was proposing that I ordered engines that have I zero interest in - I was only hoping that somewhere down the road he'd produce early generation engines that are of interest to me . I think the premise of what he wanted to achieve taking diesel detail and running properties to a new level are really exciting . I think the main issue however is continuously moving the bar on detail levels and then introducing new models before getting something done . Over the years we've had lengthy phone conversations which I always enjoyed . I told him several times he would do best by getting the original SD project finished / delivered before getting bogged down in other projects . Over the years when I asked when deliveries would begin it would be '' by next March or by next fall '' so it gets harder to imagine this actually coming to fruition . At a bare minimum he could have updated his web-site 2 years ago with some plausible explanation of where things stand . I don't think there was anything nefarious going on - just a case of not focusing on one thing at a time . I've talked to a number of guys who have deposits who are worried about where this goes so I really hope some firm plan is laid out when Erik speaks with customers this weekend .
