Sick of waiting

Yep, you don't lose sleep nor worry about things you can't influence.

Including your partners temper?

This has always been the case for me with BMW when paying by card in the showroom, pay on the day no problem.

Is there any discussion between yourselves and Ineos to allow the payment by card on the day as an option?

how will the registration numbers be generated ? any time i buy a new car its registered via local dealership (starts with an s) are these getting registered locally or via some nationally generated number ?

I wondered that, I presume Ineos will register them all together somewhere so the letter will be the location they decide on. (all mine start with a P) The letter is based on where they are registered not where they are bought. The dealer always gave me the list of registrations he had been allocated and let the customer pick.

I think Ineos had cars registered on HF (Bournemouth) for the Scotland event. Others I recall were on a LJ (London Wimbledon) plate.

The London cars they may have done themselves, but I'd guess the Bournemouth ones are via one of the companies handling the vehicle movements dockside.

The Grimsby ones may come from Beverley, so YV, YW, YX, & YY.

The two Hard Way Home cars were LJ London & and WX Bristol ~ which both reflect, pretty much, where the winners live in terms of local DVLA office.

I understand within a very short period of time the Sales Agents themselves will be dealing with the actual vehicle registrations.

Meantime a copy of the Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI) process:-

Are we doing typos...

Excellent doc ~ thanks for sharing.

I wonder if this can be printed out A0 size and made into a paper model?

 

[Arkaig]

Just an omission/addition.

I notice on the PDI inspection it mentions “ initialise Run flat System”. Haven’t heard of that before and what is it? Also mentions underbody protection as optional equipment? Is there further underbody protection available as an accessory I wonder.

Yes ~ due in August apparently.

Owner's Manual, Page 199 also makes some interesting comments regarding the underbody protection:

Not as of yet, but i noticed there are drilled and tapped bolt holes on the underside of the rear axle diff housing.

It's clearly designed for the easy addition of skid plates

There are images of it fitted around

Thanks. I’ll definitely be adding the extra underbody protection when available.

 

[Arkaig]

Me too

Transfer case could do with one

This can't happen as you're paying INEOS for the vehicle not the agent.

They should be regional based from what I know up to now.

Right you is it not possible operate a terminal on their behalf or even facilitate a remote/telephone payment to Ineos?

Edit: sounded a little hard.

Operating a terminal on behalf could be an option down the line and maybe they're thinking about it already. It's not something I've discussed as from experience most people have preferred to do large transfers via the bank rather than on a card with the risk of it being stopped or flagged then having to speak to the bank whilst in the showroom and make sure it's you spending the money.

Not saying that's how everyone likes to do it, just going from experience.
