Reading this forum, you would think that Ineos is going out of business. As the company motto is "Grit, Rigour & Humour" i really don't believe they are going to give up on this project. My car is a very early chassis number so I had a couple of issues which have been corrected now. I personally really enjoy the car and and feel the negative press and reviews are a massive distraction from what is a brilliant vehicle.
Hi Wolfman (a guy I know has this name as NZ’s strongest man for a while and he helped strength test my teen boys at the time. Lovely gentle giant of a guy) sorry for sidebar but your name took me back!
I have vin 193 and am proud of it! Can you beat that to the downside???
Wonder if I’m MY 23 or not 🤣

With VIN193 you must have been in the factory on the spanners giving Sir Jim a hand. 🤣

I did not know that there was a company motto. Love it!

I think it’s tongue in cheek - not a serious motto (or if so, then seriously unserious). The phrase “veni, vidi, vici “ (I came, I saw, I conquered) is attributed to Julius Caesar. Personally, I use it as a definitive rebuttal for those who advocate for the “classical” pronunciation of Latin, as opposed to the more familiar ecclesiastical pronunciation. It is simply impossible that Caesar ever said “wenny weedy weeky” - didn’t happen. Unless, of course, he “had a fwend in Wome” - in which case it’s an argument for a speech impediment.

Showcasing my google-fu:
Volvo is latin for "I roll" (volare is to roll, conjugated to first person singular and you have I roll) which is so much better than fiat -let it be... ;)
