Europe Into production

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

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

Don't be such a goose. Be like Dave

seem to recall it wasn't allowed on a Sunday here in the UK.

I use mine frequently, if I see someone pulling out of a blind driveway or particularly threatening 2mph blind bend (no houses). Toot! Amazes me when I creep out of a blind turning or driveway and a car/lorry etc whistles past looking at me like I'm a madman for trying to see if it's safe to pull out - use your bloody horn to tell me you're coming!

Rarely in a '...you damn idjit' way, mostly accident prevention.

@DaveB fully aware and happy to risk a fine. Like soulmates we then have all gone through the same ages of waiting for the grenadier. I link tooting to pure joy of finally having this special and exotic car

As opposed to quixotic

I lived for 3.5 years in Tunisia ... crazy driving there, but I adapted quite easily, because I lived in South-America before going to Tunisia. There was a common joke there in Tunisia:

Do you know the definition of zero seconds?

see below ...







The time between when the traffic light turns green and the one behind you blows the horn!

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

Has anybody wondered what happens if you press the horn and toot button at the same time? That should get even the most stubborn Lycra clad nuisance to shift from the middle of the road.

In the USA he'd possibly turn around and shoot you. So be cautious.

Question again - from another thread. Where are the 1800 vehicles parked? Does anyone have an idea?

 

[Hannes01]

They are specially wrapped, can‘t be seen.

All on boats shipped to Australia and UK?

If it's anything like JLR, anywhere they can find space! Spoke to a chap a couple of months back whose brother works at JLR and sometimes when he goes back to his car after work he struggles to get out of the staff car park for "99%" finished cars (waiting for chips or whatever) they've abandoned all over the place just to keep the line running. Why are there no photos I asked? Answer was any staff photographing them would be in serious trouble and disciplined, maybe even sacked.

Did your dealer have any information on the "quality issues"?
