Saleen is no longer owned by Tony Johnson or Hidden Creek.
BLKVERT said:Couldnt agree with you more S281COBRA, I have seen no press realease and have heard nothing of the the change over of new owners. Not press release nothing, so I guess it is safe to say...hearsay and speculation.
Saleen Mike said:Well, the new owners have been busy making changes. How do I know this? Well, I did talk to Liz last week, that might have clued me in. Then again, I also know how to read...
Every time I do something, I do not release a press release. Seems that HPA is operating in a similar fashion. I don't think they need to tell me their every move either.
Speaking of public anouncements- Kevin, what are the new toys? I tried to pass on to you a message saying that if any of the toys were not "street legal", I could make arraigments to show up with a drive-away tag, so we could do some "test and tune" work. Let me know what your plans are, I will be out on the left coast several times this year, and if needed, will be happy to add in another week of vacation, as one can never have too much.
When I read something on "The Other Board" about Saleen, I can usually expect it to be true. Afterall, it was there I learned all about the Saleen S7 *MONTHS* before the car was announced, and the same applied for the "E" car. Perhaps it has something to do with several Saleen Inc. employess having acounts there, even Liz and Steve have been known to be on "The Other Board".
