Great meeting you as well! And I agree, I saw like 200 camouflaged cars from BMW. Amazing. If they were Porsche’s, I probably would have missed the entire show.

The situation is probably much worse today with Covid and the war in Russia causing supply chain issues and debt and liabilities mounting.

A fairly inexpensive tube integrated.
The new 702SP/703SP (which is basically 702 and 703 with F1 technology) were really eye openers. 703SP for $19K - launching in September was a “wow!”
