Title: Merlin.com

Anybody know when Merlin will be shipping/filling orders? I ordered several (40 bucks worth) of 2004s and 2005s before I saw the home page note that they were not filling orders for the next 3 months. That was dated 12 June so this order was placed after the 3 months notice was up. The notice said "personal issues" or something to that effect was an issue. I'm not that upset, just wondering if anybody knows anything. I have emailed them 2xs with no response.

Well....that puts $40 worth of glo plugs into perspective....so sorry to hear. A reminder to us all to enjoy every day we have! My thoughts go out to the family and friends.

  I asked Bill Hughes and Bill Lee about Al Kelly's passing today at the F2A World Cup here in St. Louis, and they said he passed away at the end of July. His daughter was talking about taking over the business and keeping it going. I guess stay tuned for further developments
  Type at you later,

That is sad news as Al was one of those great individuals. :(

           Randy Smith has mentioned many times that he has plenty of 2004-2005 series plugs.
