I want a Challenger III. Todd Promised me he had one in his back pack on my install, I was let down on that one. First time M&R ever let me down. LOL

Rich already knows what I have my eyes on, if things keep on this path the "little shop" that "couldn't" afford a auto to start with is going to have a monster in here.

For example: red with aggression, hard work, strong emotions, among others..

Blue is a color generally liked the most by both men and women and also in our minds conveys and represents importance, confidence and stability. Have you ever thought why the police officers in almost every country in the world are dressed in blue? Being like that, blue (especially medium and darker shades) is for years the first choice for many corporate logos, machines paint, etc...

So I think that all of those manufacturers who painted their products in blue, all knew very well what they are doing and why, and just to copy M&R wasn't the reason here.
Anyway, M&R is making some very nice machines, that's true.

I agree with all you said but I was not speaking of them just a certain 3 new machines on the market lately, we all know the real motive behind certain choices.

Update- press came in Monday, right when I was told it would. The tech (Tony) came in today as promised and the old press dimantled and tomorrow the new one goes together.
So far so good, will post when everything is completed.

Update. Been very busy .however just want to give my after install update.
The machine arrived on Monday (2 weeks ago) The day it was said to arrive.
Our tech,Tony (who did my install on the 8 color) arrived on Tues. He was there all week to dismantle the old press and install the new one.
He was very careful to be sure everything was right.
We did a test print and all was good. No learning curve since we had a sportsman already.
I just had to get familiar with the touch screen.
We had a red chili already but did get a cayenee flash. That is one hell of a flash unit.
Here is where M&R shines. The cayenee arrived and one of the bulbs were broken. Tim Foreman(who I have known for years, great person) sent me out a bulb right away.
The press itself had no problems to report or didnt need any replacement or broken parts.
This is one of the main reasons we went with M&R again. I know I can make a phone call and get someone if there is a problem. Parts can be had in a day if needed. The realiability of the machine is second to none. I new my machine would be delivered and on time.
The machine has been running a week (everyday last week) and no problems to report.
Our shop made the right choice(again) and we look foward to our continued relationship with M&R.

That's great news, if you didn't buy an M&R what would have been your second choice
