No I dont think anyone is either....but what Opus is telling us is starting to get a little repetitive...and a little annoying...

I'm Not Interested
I don't think anybody is blaming Skip.

I didn't mean it like that... I meant that he seesm to have had a lot of hassle over not geting back to any one etc and I understand he is busy and has a life out side of here. I simpley wanted to ask once on behalf of every body....

Skipman,
I am in no way trying to mussle in here
UK Guys. I have just rung Opus my self and happerned to speak to Kris who is a top bloke by the way. He said he expected the delivery of the units to occur in around 7-9 days !
I mentioned I was from the UK ( and part of the MP3 car Buy ) and he said if we wanted ( UK People ) he is willing to do the Unit for us at $150, with $50 postage and he would alter the VAT recipt so it looks better and we should not pay that much.
Before any one shouts I do not beleive from talking to him this will affect those in the States etc in terms of the discount you will get.
By my accounts there are on 4-5 of us and I am willing to carry on and do what Kris is suggesting.
You will need to add a little on for postage when you get here and bare in mind I am also a busy person ( up and down the contry ) which may help !
If any one from the UK ( Only ) is intrested please email me by the 25th of this month where by with in a short amount of time I will email those concerned. I would like the payment via paypal as this is how I will be sending the money to Opus so you will need to add a small % on ( not for me - transfer costs )
The purcase is planned for the first part of next month - stock allowing.
If there is no one intrested I will staick by the orginal plan how ever I will need to know whats happering in order to make sure Skip knows if were in or out for his buy.

Comments are welcome.

All,
My faith in Kris is starting to dwindle at this point. I've not heard back from him in some time. I'm still trying to keep this thing going but I'm having a hard time. Between working 12 hours a day for 16 days straight and various other things... I'm nearing my witts end.
I'll keep trying to get this together. The really hard part is still to come. That's when I start collecting money. I'm going to try and work this out as best I can.

Skip - Like I say to my guys at work - you can only do what you can do... I am sure every body apprciates what you have done / will do, I know I do because with out you there would be no discount.Originally posted by Skippman

Here, here, we all appreciate what you are doing Skip, I suppose we just haven't all said (me being one).
Skip, this isn't your fault, you are doing more than a great job, it's all down to Kris, and whether he will deliver - I suspect he will, just I think close to the middle of August will probably be closer to when he sends them out - just a guess.
Terran - What was the unit Kris was quoting $150 for? Was it the same Open frame with cables, or was it just the pcb? Either way I don't mind but won't it be cheaper with the other guys as previously we were quoted $140 for the open frame version (the pcb was $132). Sorry to be a pain, but just trying to work out which way is cheaper. Also is it then $50 each for p&p I presume? You know more about postage then I do but to send 4 units over here in one order for $200-$250 seems a lot to me. Am I getting my wires crossed?
Cheers for all the work you are doing too Terran, this is also much appreciated!
Thanks guys!
I don't know which type it will be but I am sure it will not be much diffrent.
Right re postage what he said was it would be $50 - ie order 1 its $50 or 10 is $50 to the UK shared ( $5 each I think ? )
Any way he said he would alo knoc the invoice down a little so we don't get taked to death.
Once here I'd have to post them on to you.... Royal Mail Special Devilvery Insured Only - I know what they are like.. ( Thinks back to the £100 they lost me from an Ebay Transaction ).
Hows that.. 3 people have emailed me so far... I want to ago as soon as they are out so we don't hold the US order up.

If I change my mind and go with the 150w, are they going to ship it out when possible or is the delay just with the 90w unit? I just did the power requirement calculator thing again and I'm already borderline. If I want to add anything to the computer, I'm going to go over 90w. Plus, I have a bit of money tied up into a project I'm not too familiar with and I'm anxious (worried) to see if it all worksThanks for any info.

OK, now I am starting to get a little impatient...not because of Skippman, but because I just took a trip this weekend and the trip should have taken about 4 hours each way... well, I just got back after over 8 hours, and that was coming home..we were delayed about 2-3 hours going down.
I brought a bunch of cds with me, but I had to start repeating them......I REALLY REALLY wish I had my carputer setup done. I've invested way over $1000 Canadian in this thing and am being help up by a product that was supposed to be out a long time ago. I was patient before, biting my lip, trying to back up Skipman where I could, but now I am starting to get impatent. Is there ANY news as to when these things will ship? Again I know it isn't Skipman, and this isn't directed towards him at all, just purely letting out the frustrations towards my fellow mp3car mates in hopes that we can get some news as to where these things are.
Cheers all, and no more travelling for me until the Opus 90W is installed in my vehicle, I can't go thru another 7 hours delay for only an 8 hour trip!!
Cheers all!
