I'm with Byron, if anyone is looking to get out of their's I'll gladly take a set or two.

I'm sure I don't need to point out to any of us who have been following this thread that it started back in October 2006. I first saw it on 1st Dec 2006 and confirmed my interest in a single set at that time. Due to the ambiguity about how to actually get included on the 'list' in the early stages I found a couple of months later that I was not included and no more kits were available . C'est La Vie.
Given the near 18 months of development that have gone into making these kits, and the obvious interest there is from other 914 owners, would it not be sensible for Steve to make a second batch after the first batch is finished ?
Surely this would be a tiny amount of extra effort for double the delight of fellow 914 owners ?

What do you think John ?

Steve actually told me he is thinking that he will do another run after this first one is finished and delivered. He said the interest is high enough for him to do so, and it wouldn't be much of a problem as he will have everything figured out.

Hi Andrew
First thanks for the interest, Steve and I have talked about a second run right after the first list of interested parties was collected back in '07. We wanted to wait until the first run of kits were completed fabicating , which as everyone following this thread knows has taken some time!

We are very fourtunate that Steve was willing to disasemble his REAL GT and make the kits after my repeated requests.

The thing that bother me is some members here started to leave threads stating what they were willing to pay for the kits.

I can tell you after Steve had the kits finally completed he is not making any thing on them. So he is considering making a second run, however I'm sure if the price go's up IMHO a lot of member wil start with negative comments about why.

[PeeGreen 914]

The price should go up, and he should sell some to performance and paragon once he's done and make a killing off of them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Steve is very nice for doing this, and he should be rewarded by it.

John,
thanks for giving those of us not on the 'list' a glimmer of hope to cling to.
I thought I had secured a kit back in 2006 but somehow that didn't happen when it came to the 'list'. We all live in the real World where things cost money, and we don't have enough of the stuff to buy everything we want. Some peoples Worlds are more 'real' than other, but they are all 'real'. As such we all make decisions about what we buy based on how much things cost and how much we want or need them.
I absolutely agree with the philosophy you suggest about waiting until the first batch is delivered before taking names for the second. I trust by that stage Steve will have a cost worked out so the speculating "prepared to pay up to $?" comments be avoided.

Anyone (not meaning you) confusing these real life buying decisions, with not appreciating what Steve is doing for his fellow 914 owners is reading things that aren't there. It is just real life for those of us whose World is maybe a little more 'real' than some of our fellow enthusiast.

Just for the record I would like to thank Steve (and you) for the efforts he is making in-case that has not come across loud and clear.

I will continue to watch this thread with enthusiastic interest and would appreciate anything you can do to encourage Steve to make a second batch for the equally virtuous members who may have missed out on the first.
(Maybe that 2nd batch needs to be a little bigger ? Gauging by the responce on here I'm sure they won't be left sitting on the shelf !)

Many thanks
Andrew

Hi John,

Have you spoken with Steve about this lately?

Thanks,

E.

[Root_Werks]

In for the $200-400 range

Count me in, even if it's more.

[Eric_Shea]

I'll pony up too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[hwgunner]

So I was on the list for the first set and even spoke to Steve at one point. I tried to pay at that time and he would not let me. I still really want a set and was wondering if I am still on the list?? Any way to find out??

OK Guys, here is the lastest. I just got off the phone with Steve, the sheathing for the cables was the wrong size and had to be reordered and has not shown up.

So he assured me he will get them completed after Hershey, which is tomorrow.

He has a lot of time and money in time and parts that he needs and as everyone who has sent him checks he has not cashed any of them.

So please hang in there I know it 's been way too long (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

No Problem!!!

John,

My situation is the same as Andrew's. I should have watched this thread more closely after my first post. My assumption was my mistake.

I too would be very interested should Steve decide to do a second batch. Certainly for one set, possibly for two.

Price would matter to me, but $200-400 seems just fine. Beyond that, I'd have to think about it (especially for two sets) but I too feel Steve should be making money on these, as it is VERY cool of him to do what he's doing....

You are on my list from 02/2006, which I will compare with the list Steve has. So as far as I see it you should be getting a kit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
