Seriously, John is a true Craftsman when it comes to his cars..

I believe a slabside from FFR would do far better in sales than the 818. They would need to do a few changes to the Roadster that they offer now, but no where near the number of bugs that they will be working out on the 818.
People all around the world already know about the FFR Roadster. The 289 version would be a natural success I'm sure..
If I was Dave, I'd cut my losses on the 818, and start in on a slabside model..

That's sure to PO the 818 fans.. lol
