OK.... I was trying to stay on the sidelines and just enjoy my popcorn.... but...

I know a lot of people got screwed with the whole CRII Rutherford mess. Me included. Some unfortunately a lot worse then me, at least I got 85% of my kit before the "cone of silence" fell over Don and CRII. Those of you that have followed the build thread know i.e. "crap I never got a COO from Don"

I have DVs back on the whole "there is a buyer for CR working to get this done" deal. I know who it is, I have talked to him personally and when I convinced (well actually pleaded and cried) DV to build my car. There was a discussion with this buyer to use our build as a starting point for all new documentation on building CRIIs. Thats why DV has taken 100s of pictures of the build to document all the stuff that was not in Don's manual.

On one side, I'm still pissed at the way my dealings with CRII progressed. Thats in the past and can not be fixed. All we can do is hope that this kit (which after a year of comparisons to the others out there) continues to live on and with the help of craftsman like DV, only gets better.

There's a lot of scary crap happening in the country today and I feel blessed to be able to continue down the road with this "cough cough" expensive hobby of mine (I know DV is laughing his a$$ off on that comment)

Keep the faith people..... Really good things can come out of this mess.
