I want to roll over and cry!




I got this email from Caterham today...


----
I estimate that we will have the car complete by the end of June 2009.
Please contact me on this email address around that time and I will
advise you on the status of the car.

If you also email me at the end of May, I will take some pictures of the
car in build and email them to you so you can see the progress.
