View and passenger drives.
Just booked to view the 2b prototype and go on a drive (as a passenger) with one of the Ineos test team.

Looking forward to that! Rgds.

Going next week as well, to place near Telford. Going to be very interesting. I’ll be reporting back, which is exactly what they want people to do, even if it includes constructive criticism. Really looking forward to it 👍

It's like trying to get an Asda slot at the beginning of the pandemic:

I think they have underestimated demand in a big way the interest is huge I only wore a Grenadier T~shirt and several people asked me about it in the street.

Do you think they will have to put more venues on the list?

Think this is the second wave of bookings as I reserved mine on the 2nd of July? Going with a mate who may replace a few Hilux's on his estate with these depending on how it's priced, performs and who retails them (maybe worth a topic in it's own right?).

My 2 "co-driver" seats with the optional nights stay are for Sept 25th at Roxburghe Estate, but if neither of us can make it I'll make them available on here Thumbs Up Stuart

Got an email invite today and booked at Drumlanrig. There was only a few spots left when I went on. Looking forward to see what it is like on a drive. 1995 Defender 110 CSW

So 650km or about 400 mile range with a full tank?

That's interesting.
The tank isn't full and it's been running round in low range, so the 'current average mpg' will be low. It should do a fair bit more than 400 miles.

Currently at a test driving day. Maybe a chance to have a go in one. Fingers crossed. So far the free coffee and breakfast is good.
