I heard that possibly they won't be released until late 3rd quarter or early 4th. No telling with AA. Been waiting on the Koenigsegg for a year and a half now... nearing 2 years. So... maybe Christmas 2010.

LOL! No kidding. Everytime I post pics I swear you and John plot to steal it...

He said he was only making the one and no more. I was kind of hoping he'd make the reverse livery as well. Still, when the AA releases come out... well you guys hop in line behind me Line starts here |

[QUOTE=one18Vette;1564554268]LOL! No kidding. Everytime I post pics I swear you and John plot to steal it...

Plot??? you mean Plan

We have run into several problems:

1. I can get from Georgia to Tennessee pretty easily. However John lives in a secret location, due to his posting in Politlics and controversy

2. Getting the door open on it will be tough, AA really screwed us on that deal

3. I need to go on a severe diet, I'm bascically 2:1 scale and need to get to 1:18

Well I have to get back to watching Sebring. If you can believe this my cable company has something messed up, and I am currently not getting reception on all channels. Of course Speed is one of the channels. So I am watching a really bad picture

Plus I am also I big F1 fan, and this has been going on since Friday. The Melburne GP is tonight. If I don't get any better recepetion, Cable is going to get yet another earfull

Or I could just head up to Tennessee

2:1 Thats too good. I'm so using that.

I'm watching it just fine. Unfortunately I'm getting ready to go to work. Its race week here in Bristol and ugh... this sucks. I'd steer clear of East Tennessee this weekend.

Hey guys,

I'm really eager to add these two badboys to my collection. Does anyone know whether:

1) They will be available in the US only or in Europe too?
2) How many will be produced, this doesn't normally matter for me, but I think this could make it an extra special edition (especially if it would have a special box and or autograph)
3) When are they actually coming?
4) Will the wheels be updated?

Furthermore if I understand correctly they will be sold separately instead of in pairs right? That's a shame!

Thanks!
