Ben,
You forgot a couple of things. This was Roberts thread back in October
David,
I am in South Africa as I write this. It is almost evening on a Sunday and Rob and myself are finalising the workloads for Rob's staff for the next week. I have gone over the first set of body moulds which we took delivery of only two days ago and they are fantastic.
I am here to keep an eye on the first eight cars to be finished and all to be shipped before Christmas. Work is hectic and like all new ventures they take longer and cost more then expected.
David it is refreshing to see a person that REALY knows how hard it is and has an idea on what we have almost completed. I for one am looking forward to a well earned rest at years end with a "cold one and a shrimp on the barby".
Best wishes,
Robert
In the past threads, regarding RF, The African holiday is 3 WEEKS long wich will not resume production until Mid Jan. The cars that left for the UK were Quickbuilds. 4 of the 6 cars you have listed are turnkeys. Considering how long it took to complete the Quickbuilds, and considering the LONG holiday, I would look more at April for 108/109 delivery. 120/137/110/115 you can expect mid summer shipments.. If everything goes well. This would be more realistic. I may be wrong! I hope so! But Please DON'T get you hopes up like I did... only too be disapointed. Also, I did not include employee problems, fabrication problems, parts delivery problems, Emergency,..ECT.. ECT.. all this has to be cosidered. I'm sure Robert will update the customers when he returns to AFRICA. It may seem I'm picking on RF...I'm not...I'm just analizing from the past performance.
Regards
Oliver
