We're just pulling your leg - trying to derail some of the immutable inevitable.

Give Don some time to at least answer if he even feels he needs to.
I truly feel that that he will become an important contributor to our Mini's performance in short time.
I'm all for that...I offered design services to dhm and am looking forward to this new development

And this is HOT Obehave... Takes me waaaaaaaaaaaaay back...

Thank you Don...

Don and I spoke a couple of weeks ago, regarding the Patent issues
and he agreed that the DFIC patent was indeed everything that we had
originally purported. Again a big thanks to Don, you are a gentleman
with strong business ethics, and we are looking forward working with
you in the future.

You mean there is a new series of Dr Who, or are you referring to the cable showing on SciFi channel of old Dr Whos? There were 7 doctors, and the show spanned approx 12 years. The Daleks were formidable foes, but I liked Leela... (the precursor of Xena, Warrior Princess!)

cheers,

The new Doctor Who
This one also has changing doctors like the original. Started in 2005 and does play on Sci-Fi. Somebody over on MINI2 already ruined next season(for us). So I threatened to spoil 24 for them

The original Doctor Who ran for 26 seasons.
I watched it as a kid in England in the '60s. Moved back to the States in '69 and rarely saw it again for decades.

I had to look this up. It was almost 40 years ago

William Hartnell is the guy I remember. I had to find pics of the guy. I remember Peter Cushing in a movie as well.

Obviously if you knew sh++ about search engines or weren't a lazy aZZ you would have looked it up first.

No one here needs to be corrected by YOU. I think we all know what a search engine is... And no one here needs YOU escalating this to 'a flame war' statis either. Now be good, and get back on topic.

What is the point of this thread, if Don isn't going to release any information about an intercooler, (or to use his term, "aftercooler")?

I vote that this thread get locked, as there's NOTHING of use on any of the 5 pages, except teases, speculation, and now flame wars.

If and when Don decides to actually show us something, (and I hope he does), then he should open a new thread up.

I politely suggest to you, Don, that next time, please do a bit less of a teaser of a product announcement; shrouded in such mystery. Please do us a favor, and tell and more importantly, SHOW us what the product is right upfront. It will be much appreciated by us NAM faithful!

My comments are not typed with a sarcastic, angry or demeaning tone. I would just love to avoid another 5 page thread that contains no real substance...

Flame war??? Geez that little tete-a-tete barely rates notice.
There's more comments after the fact than the event itself

I you guys had left it alone it would have whimpered and died all on it's own
Reminds me of the ring of kids around a tussle in Elementary School shouting; Fight!! Fight!! Fight!!.
The 2 dopes in the dirt keep going just to save face even though they have actually lost interest.

Of course now days they just shoot each other

3) As I said, it will be around $650. The more preorders I have the better I can do for the NAM community.
4) The aftercooler is complete. Currently I use a modified stock scoop with a BBR scoop attachment and it works perfectly fine. Tinkering will continue, however. That is why they are priced separately.
5) The aftercoolers have been made.

No luck needed. If you want an aftercooler that works you would be wise to consider this one.
no offence dude but it sounds like you're a liitle light on funds . this is understandable as i'm sure developement was not cheap. so find an investor; finish developement, and for all the numbers guys ''do some dyno pulls (before and after) then make up a cool looking graph to show all the data you've already explained clearly. then put a bow on it and it will fly off the shelves!!!
