Had a chat with my delaer this a.m.

Nothing new on the packages compared to what we already know; he felt they would get cars in consignments larger than 6/month that we've heard about. I'm in slot 23 at Midrivers in St. Louis, they think I'll have a car by memorial day.

Had a report from someone on the waiting list today. They said they were just told by Symbolic that the cars will be arriving in June.

Hmmmmm

Same old story, three sides to every story, his/hers/the real thing! I'm realistically thinking that I'll get my car late fall/early winter next year. In which case I'll probably bow out of my spot and move down to take delivery in spring.

Originally, the car was supposed to arrive in 9/03. Now it is pushed to 4/04. Another delay wouldn't suprise me.

I hope any delay won't allow the DOT exemptions to run out prematurely to the production run.

My lease is up in 6/04

If there are any more delays, I'll have to consider getting a beater to fill in between the S2000 and the Elise.

If I do get one, it will either be an old CRX or Buick Reatta. What do you guys think of each?

Reatta had a central brain/cpu that was problematic, it was one of the downfalls of the model. They are hard to come by, so be careful.

Would be an awesome car to do an engine swap on, though... drop a 350 crate engine w/ carb and you're set with a mean sleeper for not too much investment.. and you essentially "kill" the cancerous brain.

Personally, I think the Reatta is one of the most underrated LOOKING cars that was ever built... it's long hood, short trunk and long wheelbase give it a really unique appearance, and for very little investment, I think you could turn it into a killer looking show car.
