Is there a development that you can let me know of or I can contact for this?

The more posts you have gets you into a different gear - at this time you are in Neutral and I think first gear comes around at 40 or 50 posts - you then go into second, third etc etc :thumbs:

I have been stuck in second for ages lol
"UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" -----------is how far you take the fence with you.

They should give you a build date (usually a week number - mine was week 27 which was last Monday) and the countdown begins. Trouble is if they have exceeded the dealer quota for the month/quarter it could be some time off and this could be longer depending on extras chosen :thumbsdown:

I take it they did not give you a build date :?:
