RR, are you in the know in terms of anything delaying shipping?

I just received an eamil from my contact at CarTech. Here's the official reply.

"Rocky, I did some investigation and the shipment of books was held up in US Customs. Every once in a while they will do random checks of the shipping containers and the container with your book was inspected. It should arrive at our remote warehouse by April 26 and it's our estimate that the book will be available for sales the first week of May."

Hope that helps!

Maybe the customs guys are rebuilding some Pontiac engines. It takes a long time to read the book when your lips are moving!

I think I used that excuse once for turning in homework late - "Uh, yeah, they had to inspect it at the border."

Looking forward to getting my hands on it.
