There is no consistency of customer experience with any brand because they are all independent franchises.Ineos dealers appear to be anyone from heavy equipment dealers to luxury dealerships, so I'm sure this results in considerable variation in customer experience.
Scary light-duty by the looks of it.Anyone for some Portals?
I've been thinking about going down there. I'd be down to plan a trip with anyone on a nice day to check them out.Has anyone been to the dealer in Portland? I'm thinking I'll visit if I can.
I drove mine home about 4 hours?280 miles after picking it up. I got 19 mpg if I recall. I was averaging 60ish thoughI've been thinking about going down there. I'd be down to plan a trip with anyone on a nice day to check them out.
Also, I understand most people like driving fast, but it would be interesting to see what the MPG would be on a highway trip over a few hundred miles going 45-50 mph.
Having owned earlier air cooled 911s and a 914-6 (wish I still had) which also had a floor mounted throttle go pedal my understanding is the lower hinge produces a more natural arc for the foot to follow. Not sure if the current Porsches still use them.I think a hanging throttle pedal would be better than a floor mounted pedal.
They do use floor mounted accelerators, but not clutch and brakes.Having owned earlier air cooled 911s and a 914-6 (wish I still had) which also had a floor mounted throttle go pedal my understanding is the lower hinge produces a more natural arc for the foot to follow.

I think that depends if you're sitting closer to the floor (car) or in an upright position (truck). The L322 had the same throttle pedal as the Grenadier, but Land Rover has put hanging pedals in most of their vehicles, including the L405. The Freelander 1 pedals are hanging and are compatible with the Grenadier's DME without any changes in programming since those came with BMW engine management. The early Freelander has a separate potentiometer unit that's the same as the Z3. I've seen the sensitivity settings for both the Z3M and E46 M3 (which has the Grenadier-type pedal) in the MSS54 DME and the values are identical.Having owned earlier air cooled 911s and a 914-6 (wish I still had) which also had a floor mounted throttle go pedal my understanding is the lower hinge produces a more natural arc for the foot to follow.

They are in the used market now (cars.com I believe) but prices still insane.Seen several around London. It's got the look at me I've got the latest thing to have, and you don't. Wonder how long it will take before they start appearing in the used market.
