Sick of waiting

The dealer said that it may be mid March before they get it sorted and it’s something they can do locally. It’s can’t be super critical as the press cars were all updated for on road use. Fingers crossed that it’s not going to take another month.

There were a few other bits missing but they’ll be sent to the dealer for installation. The rear door table and the Union Jack flag badge for example.

One bonus was that it had the side utility rails fitted even though I’d not ordered them.
Mine also has the utility belt which I hadn't ordered - apparently they ran out of the standard bump strips but will get more stock in q2 if I still want them.
 
Mid-March.........I can't stand it, I just can't take it anymore.......aaaaaargh!!!!!!!
You could see it this way: the car is already a legend. I don‘t think that there is a precedence for such a procedure and such customer-to-be loyalty. If only IA would understand what solid group of patrons they have already and show some redpect and gratitude.

So don't treat me like those other ones do
There ain't no gettin' round it, tell me to my face
Do you think I'm a fool for keepin' my faith in you, oh baby, oh

They know that! They will deliver the vehicles to us as soon as they meet their very high quality requirements. I can only repeat, patience is required.

As long as the 2 surviving members of the band don't jump the IA queue ......
 
It’s probably more of a burning question for some than it is for me, but my agent said in November that everything was going to come down to a software update. So whatever this is, it is taking its time coming out or being developed or the problem being solved.

When I had a look around the IG recently I noticed the size of a glove box, as Pragmatic says it certainly lives up to its name.

No push button start for whoever asked. It’s a key and on RHD vehicles it is on the left hand side like a Volvo or BMW

It is somewhat ironic that a vehicle aspiring to be as analog as possible is suffering from the malady of 21st century electronics!

The only issue I have with the key, the one I used on the PT02 felt a bit flimsy. Yes it was a PT02 and yes had probably had a hard short life, so I am hoping the production one is a bit more robust.

Anyone out there who has a production vehicle at their dealers and had a change to investigate it, confirm the key fob is up to spec!

It’s a key and on RHD vehicles it is on the left hand side like a Volvo or BMW. - Yes I found it strange at first being between the central dash and steering wheel, but I like it, no one can put their hand thru the window and snatch the key. (Including the police, a method they deploy when stopping drivers in the UK - not that that has happened to me I must emphasise)
 
Only just watched the video your lad did Pragmatic, and I would congratulate him on it….very professional.

May I point out and I am sure you have probably seen it anyway, are the marks on the headlining around and just behind the over head console. Look like dirty fingerprints to me. I wonder if this is down to some refitting of said console after claims it felt like a good tug would pull it straight off.

I only say so you can point it out to the agent for special attention when they do their spruce up before handover.

The daft thing is, I was given an original build date of June when I ordered. I made my peace with that. So I was delighted when my build date was moved forward to February, now thats not looking likely I’m pissed off and the lack of any communication isn’t helping. If they had just kept it a June I’d be none the wiser and patiently waiting.
