Hmmm.... I'd say over a month ago. When I inquired as to when I might receive it (after I received all the other stuff I ordered, that I planned to put in it), I received a rather curt e-mail stating it would ship on August 1. Haven't heard a word since.

yah, i think im going to hook up my tiny extinguisher in my MCS as well.
not that im paranoid about my car blowing up into flames, but just for
piece of mind as you said. with that and the disconnect sw, i think im
safe on the road. but at home, i still want to get that wall-mount
extinguisher cause you never know when my oily can might flame up.
will get 2 of them for now... maybe another one for the basement.

waaat??!! that sucks. thought the original ETA was 8/3. they
must have A LOT of orders or major quality issues on that bucket. i
thought the price was too good to be true... probably made in China
and using red leaded paint. lol

I just called them about my bucket last week, they said they are shipping. I hope I get it before summer ends, but there really isnt summer here in the Pacific north west. all of 72 deg today.

Ken, as for overheating, it is for an automotive application, so I would think the manufauture would think about the heat issues in cars. I mean race cars get about 125

with and mount it on the boot wall.

My Griot's wash bucket was shipped August 23rd! With all the technical delays, I expect this thing to wash the car by itself.

That would make it an automated car wash. We don't like those. You know that...

that's suppse to only have a grill for grit?

have to say again that griot's LeatherCare spray is fantastic.
so easy to use, nice and matte finish with great smell. i used a very
tiny dab of the regular LeatherCare on my shift boot near the ****
to nurish.

Prima Nero did the rest.

i noticed that they have their 12v air compressor for tires in their GarageSale
section. DON'T get that unit. it is literally a pos. i bought that thing about
8months ago only to find it didn't work and just a true junk. I bought
a Sears 120v unit for $50 which have been great.

but i do recommend the trunk organizer on sale for $7.99. i have 2 sets
and they have been GREAT for my commuters. i might get another
set for my cooper-s down the road.

i dont think there is a discount code for everyone right now... i saw
something via email a week or so ago that you can get 2 free blue
sponges or something. they are good sponges, just not that big of
a deal.

i usually wait until they start giving away SprayOn wax. cause i bought
a replacement 32oz (?) bottle but yet to open it cause i keep getting
those free 8oz bottles over and over and just refilling my original bottle.
