I've had a look on the App and whilst I can deposit a launch edition car how do I elect for a RHD car?

Guess the weight competition:
There is a guess the weight competition going on in the members area. Sure Stephen will come up with a suitable prize for the winner!

Great link , thanks...even if the guess the weight thread has lost some excitement. Love the interior.
Seeing as the car is clearly software driven, I hope that it's well executed. A mate of mine has just had problems with his Volvo XC90....the computerised dash got a virus,(no idea how) it took the garage a week to fix. New technology, new problems,.,,

A week is ridiculous to fix a SW dash.
They should just flash it from scratch and reload the base SW, then add updates. easily done in a day.
Remember, the garage is managed by humans and humans make mistakes, the delays were probably just cockerel ups and management errors.

I agree...but it's new technology for the garage, this is the shape of things to come...sorry sir, your car won't start as we need to reload the software/it's got corrupted etc...if you understand firmware, this is obvious, less so if a spanner or manufacturer diagnostics box is your comfort zone.
It's like the early of ecu's when no one could fix the cars because they didn't understand them.
Rant over, I feel old....

You're lucky, I just got my jeep back after 3 months at the dealers fixing the dash.

No doubt it is a nice looking car but there is no need for any of the electronics apart from the engine management, if it is in homage to the 110 it should be a bit retro and minimalist and would have appealed to old and new generation enthusiasts with dare I say it with a normal style speedo and a normal rev counter and old style oil pressure gauge along with voltage and water temperature that's all you need. In a few years time you can just hear everyone saying oh it's gone really retro the new car it's even got original style dials, when everyone has got bored with electronic gimmicks it is just a car. I think the article in this months Octane mag by Jay Leno page 51 sums it up.
