    Unobtainium will be slow in responding and possibly closed for roughly 2-3 weeks beginning March 15th. I'm having my throttle leg knee replaced & just won't be able do much work during my initial recovery . My assistant will do what he can, but he's only available a couple of days/week.

    There will be a similar closure/slowdown beginning June 29th when I'm having my clutch leg knee replaced.

    So, just to be clear, you did NOT just take some PVS impressions and make some new knees for yourself did you?

    Good luck!

    Don't let them put any O.E.M. Ferrari parts in you.

    I hope all goes well Verell and your down time is minimal.
