Might I ask which dealer you will be taking delivery via, and what is the spec / colour of your car?

Also, if you're receiving your car and the rest of us are still frantically checking emails everyday, would you mind if we all stand outside the dealership and clap / gasp as you drive it out of the showroom?

Edinburgh, Scotland (please don't call them to find out when yours is coming

because they call you as soon as they hear something on yours, so just be patient)

In terms of spec, nothing special
Black, station wagon (commercial), steel wheels, rock sliders, black leather interior...

I'm guessing I was 'priortised' as I was on the prototype tour, pre ordered as reserved as soon as possible....other than that, I can't think why I've been put to the front - other than being a good guy, of course!

Please no! That would make me feel bad on you still waiting

Same here - reserved and ordered on the first possible day, went on a 2B tour prototype drive, a PTO-2 drive and all the rest. I suppose I must be one of life’s interminable losers; either that or people must think I’m a C and put me at the back to the queue for everything!

same as me, we were also on 2B tour and ordered early as possible, but the first day was some trouble with accepting credit cards ( not only mine

) and now i check every hour if something news coming up from IA or our Dealer Woltmann
grrr

And my uncle's name is Sir Jim, but I don't think that has anything to do with it!!

I used to have a Big Jim, does that count?

PanoramaJJ · Jan 25, 2023

Big Jim, and his Camper - wow! SO OLD ARE YOU?

Just and FYI - Spoke to my local dealership today (as they were supposed to have a Test Drive ready model on Monday 23/01/2023). They are the dealership for one of the winners and Gemma is yet to get her IG. So the dealership is hoping to have their test drive model this week/early next week.

Spoke to my dealer today as well and they are still waiting on their demonstrator, similar story. Re Gemma, what an inspiring story, I voted for her. Hope she gets hers soon.

It sounds like the official global launch is the 8th February and there is an embargo on journalists giving driving reviews before this day.
If they had been shipping dealer or customer cars prior to this then journalists and youtubers would have grabbed them and reviewed to be the first.
So clearly to me there was never going to be any deliveries prior to 8th February.
I bet we will see a flood from that day onwards

I ordered mine 18th May 2022

I ordered on the 22nd! Same dealership and no contract! And yours is built! I’m well miffed now.

Wait till he drives past your house leaning on the toot button...

It would be good if you could change the function of the Toot button into something useful.
I could count on one thumb the number of times I have used the horn in my car in the last 5 years.
That button is taking up a lot of handy realestate for something I will never use after the first week

In my current vehicle there is a mute button for the sound system which I use anytime I have to talk to someone outside the vehicle or even within the vehicle if the music is too loud
There has to be some better use than an alternate horn

DCPU · Jan 25, 2023

It's a good thought.

The video of the horn toots, especially in multi toot mode, sounded quite aggressive to me and not something I'd likely use.

I might use it in the first months to happily toot every other lucky grenadier owner I come by

Now I’ll be able to toot the bloody cyclists instead of just swearing at them.

That use is illegal in Australia and so is that annoying habit people have of honking the horn when they are leaving someone's house
