Nicely coming together. Still a bit of a shame we won’t get a big presentation of all cars and access to actually see details. But I guess that was never likely to happen.

Those are both Mondays. Unless European dates are different from the American calendar.

“Unless European dates are different from the American calendar.”
Uhmm, you are joking, right? Tell me you are, come on man, tell me you’re joking…

Actually can be very easy to confuse. I use a “proper” calendar that has Monday as the first day in the week, while my wife uses a “weird” calendar that has Sunday as the first day of the week. This year our kitchen calendar inexplicably uses a Sunday first layout, so I keep getting dates mixed up. She had the same problem last year, when we had a proper calendar.
It’s a bit like when you can’t decide on saying “You’re welcome” or “No problem” and you end up saying “You’re/your problem” instead.
