I'm sure they can do a Right Hand Drive version just by reversing the files, however the engine will run backwards... On the plus side, you can 155 mph in reverse...

...nevermind... I need sleep... lots of sleep... no rest for the wicked...

Awaiting Patiently...

I'm thrilled that these are going to happen soon! After just getting my M5, and adding on a couple of items...It will be nice to have a reminder of my beast on my desk whilst I'm at work...That will make me

louv, have no fear, you can sleep when you're dead...

Sorry boys, I've been in Chicago since Monday afternoon. I did get a message today that they have "burned" my block as a the test. I will make every attempt to get over to the manufacturer tomorrow (Thurs) to give the final "ok"

Sorry for the silence the last couple of days

Philip,

No problem. You've got many other responsibilities and job and family must take priority IMO. I think I can speak for all of us that we greatly appreciate all of your hard work. Thanks again.
Cheers.

Gone to Production



It looks awesome!!! I think everyone will be pleased. It looks much better with the engine!

They will begin production tomorrow and will start shipping, so you should start getting them next week.

UK & Australia cars will get righthand drive cars
Will also know what the shipping cost will be & will post.

If you have not ordered.....what are you waiting for!

Can't think of anything else....
