Mike,
I like you, I don't want to beat the proverbial dead horse here, but as I said in my post, I am not missing the point. I just disagree with the thought that EM "SHOULD" have gotten involved. I think it would have been great if they did but I don't feel they had to or that their character is in question because they chose not to.
A turn key car could have been bought from EM and then I would say they would have to fix it. A decision was made to use a builder other than EM. That decision sadly ended with a car that is not as good as it should be.
Anyone that would build a car for someone and not give them an A+ class job, should be taken behind the wood shed but not the people that supplied perfectly good parts.
Once again, I see your point we just agree to disagree. Thats ok, I don't agree with me all the time either.
If you are ever in this neck of the woods look me up. We can talk Cobras.
Dennis.
