My car fund this year went towards my SLK55 and fixing a bad rod bearing in it, so as long as the EFRs become available by next spring, it's all good.

Considering how long its taken to even get some numbers up and how badly the available date slipped I wouldn't believe anything until people who are on the waiting list start piping up saying they received their turbo.

Maybe production will be normal by next year.

I'm hoping to have them available by February of next year. Anything sooner than that and it's all gravy.

Geoff,

What has been the hold up since the first batch?

Any news on the UK one that failed with the bent the shaft?

Reason for failure?

Any design changes occurred during this wait period?
