You can count me in if there is a group getting together.
I have tried to get in touch in Farkles by Maples and they have been MIA. No contact whatsoever.

I wanted to have something by this spring. That might be pushing it though. Just picked up a 2014ES.

The renewed interest from this thread was forwarded to Joe, he mentioned that he will check in the next couple of days.

It looks like I was last here in 2019.

I will give my opinion and other can give theirs.

There seems to be interest in this fuel cell of yours if you would be interested in getting another group together to buy one.
I have looked around for some. The "tanji syle" is what I was looking for here and other forums (nonavailable). Farkles by Maple who makes them now is MIA. No communication there whatsoever.

I came across this post and it seems others have also. I would be very interested to see if you our someone would be willing to take the torch and get another batch for people. I don't feel comfortable going out on my own on this. It seems like a nice unit. I like natehawk750's breakdown of it and how he liked it.
Just looking at the possibility.

It is satisfying when others appreciate my work.

On the other hand, I might just be a little too proud. Or, these may be just a little too precious to me.
I scrolled back to the beginning of this thread and can see my photos after all. Just the ones from Tue Jul 09, 2019 are missing.

I had forgotten about all the drama. It's clear from those old posts that I do not take criticism well.
With the benefit of hindsight, I appreciate what 0face was trying to convey with:

I have mixed feelings about another group buy.

Funny you should bring that up Joe, He said the same thing to me way back @ CFO when he met me. A fella no longer here wanted to punch my face for being mean. Pretty sure Marty defused what could have been a fun time. :lol:

I've wanted to punch you in the face for years. Someday...... But isn't there a long, long line for that privilege?

Figgered I'd entice ya a lil'

The line has grown quite short the last few years not sure if I'm not as offensive or folks are just ignoring me. Granted several are dead and a few gave me a shot. But by an large it's been pretty safe for me.
Funny when I was growing up I had three younger brothers and it was almost a daily occurrence of somebody and myself bug tussling. Little bastards were always string up shit with somebody/somebody's

Never heard that phrase used before. That explains the name of the Texas town that I've been to once.
