Hi Pascal,

I think they are saying that to give them a "large margin of time!" :)

So when it does come out sooner, they can make it really good to all R8
owners who ordered motors before 31 December '96. They will get their motor
free for waiting on back order three years!   And if you beleive that, I
have several islands in the arctic ocean I would like to sell you. :)

The promo release will hearld the motors' arrival as the greatest thing
since sliced watermelon!!!!!! :)
