In your first post you say;


Sal responded with:


Then you say:


So which is it? Are you accusing Works of taking your money and not delivering your blower, or are you just saying your angry because the quantity of blowers produced by Works doesn't meet your expectations?

There is big difference in those two statements. Since neither REM nor Sal took your payment for a Works blower, just who is it that PAID (as you said above ) for their blower and didn't get it? And just who did they PAY?

Your first statement is pretty irresponsible if you don't have anything to back it up. You need to be careful about the facts when you essentially call someone a crook.

Never said Sal, REM, Chris or anyone was a crook. I do know that there were and still are tons of people that feel the 140 is the way to go. Unfortunately they are not readily available. Please Sal, someone from REM or any other vender please correct me if I am wrong! From the best of my knowlege there are only 3-4 production blowers out there from REM and possably the same from PSP. Is this because they were not ordered from either vender? I don't think so! Is it because only 6-8 people would pay for it? NO
Steve please reread my post before pointing the irresponsability finger at me. The reason there is not currently a 140 on my truck or nearly anybody else's for that matter, has nothing to do with coming up with $4,000. That is my point.

As far as the paid statement......That was not wisely stated on my part. No I never layed out a dime for a 140. I remember early in the hype many claiming deposits and more waiting on a very long list. Most have bought KB's, some have lost interest (maybe the damn tuck by now) and some have been waiting it out.

Simply said it is a damn shame there are not more L's kicking *** out therew with what I feel is the best piece that has been developed for our trucks. Chris has done a grat job creating it but it seems it is only slightly more available than the infamous 166.

Also in reply to Sal.....

I'm not truly upset over it all. Right now as far as I know your truck and Tim's are the only 140 truck pushing the envelope. There may be 100's of 140 L's out there that I don't know about. All the tuning issues, combo's that work etc. are still in the learning stage's. Hopefully they start popping up in the coming month's and next race season dominating the strip.

Myself included.

Eric
