Yeh Mike,

I think this is getting a bit unfair now. Ive asked for information and all i get is "be patient". Well my pockets not that patient - i want some more performance and i want it now

Surely this cant be good PR for prodrive? Can we have some information please!!!

I'm sorry I can't give you any information at the moment, but you will hear something very soon and it's good news

Exclamation

The word on the street is (and Mike my apologies if I am talking conkers) that various Prodrive MY01 bits are ready but IM/Subaru UK will not sign them off for production/distribution.....so it's not Prodrive's fault.

Mike,

I just wonder if you could clarify your position so we can stop bugging you.

Are you unable to comment because the powers that be say so (fine - no problem) and you dont want to upset them, or is it you have some other agenda.

If we knew where your coming from we'd accept the snippets you give (last time "a couple of months" - 3 months ago - now "a couple of weeks") and stop getting upset about the lack of info we can get.

Thanks

I really hope its worth the 5 month wait!!!

There's no hidden agenda, we just can't comment at the moment as we have not reached the intended launch date yet.

We feel that it will be worth the wait though.

Unfortunately not. The parts don't cost us any less, if anything they cost more as the batch quantities are getting smaller.

My dealer has officially told me late May/early June but early June is more realistic. Looking forward to the spec and price, plus a go in a MY01 with PPP. I reckon IM want to get shot of the P1's first, and have all stations go before release. Unless your order is with Listers or Lancasters mid june before the first customer cars earliest my guess.

Jonathan

ownership of the plate S300 UK !! is mine.
