Not if he was the one who was pushing it. Hopefully the projects aren't going to get blackholed.

RC web page still has him as the manager...maybe he's getting too many phone calls and stuff and has instructed his staff ...well not sure if he'd do that...but who knows

He's no longer there.

I was the last optimist on the mods, but I think this recent departure would signify the end of hope... unless he found a manufacturer that would run them in small batches, but now he'd have to pay for them out of his own pocket.

I wonder if they'd lend me the prototype... :P

Last time I saw him he hit me up for a $90,000 loan in response to my questions about the RES release date. Not a good sign You're right, though, we'll see...

I'm wondering if he went to Rick Case for $$ help. Big dealership with money could have fronted him, helped him market it and shared in the profits for their investment.

as far as I know it was never a Rick Case mod, it was all Doug's work. so him leaving Rick Case doesn't necessarily mean the end of RES and MM2, we'll just have to see. Can anyone get in contact with him?
