- 482 orders from 999 R owners will be served before Dec 31, 2007
- 515 remaining orders (including mine

) will be served before June 30, 2008
- other coming orders, taken after December 2006, will be served before August 31, 2008
For new and last orders, taken after February 2007, the price is raised from 55 kEuros to 60 kEuros (I dont know the raise in US $)
