Re: uk turbo orders

I have contacted local dealer who is very doubtful and some of the prestige car dealers who seem very optimistic about taking delivery around september but unable to give a price.
I wonder at what premium these cars will be?

My understanding is that the OPC's will get their quotas for the 2007 model year in June. So you either get a launch car in June or July otherwise its September onwards.

Well somehow the 60m people in the UK manage as well as the population of drivers in 74 other countries that drive on the left, of which the bigger ones are Japan, India, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Ireland, Pakistan, Singapore etc etc

Re: uk turbo orders

I also manage quite nicely with my right hand when over on the continent or in the colonies

We must all be ambidextrous!
