Ok, my car is to be completed mid Aug, for delivery on 31st. I was advised by McL London, that it was likely to have a fully functional Iris, since she was expected to be signed off in July. We are now approaching the end of July, and Iris has not crept out into the daylight yet. Who is going to bet that Iris will actually be alive and well in my car?
Iris is a Greek for Rainbow, so I understand, and so will she yet arise in all shining multicolour glory?
I am beginning to think that with Iris, McLaren bit off too much, and that it is simply not possible to combine all these functions in the same computer, without serious crashes and clashes. I suspect that Iris may never ever shine her light upon us, and that Doris (the sea nymph) will yet have to drown, after swimming around somewhat against the tide.
Out of all this, if Iris is stillborn, will have to rise something new!
I suggest that unless Iris is in fact alive and well, and able to escape the factory in my car next month, Mclaren had better come up with "Egeria" as a stand alone second computer system, not directly linked the the main car computer. They could have done that a long time ago, but have poured umpteeen millions into something that is perhaps not possible?
Egeria is the godess who is advisor and counsellor, so if Iris is actually dead, McLaren needs to give her birth rather soon.
I hope that Iris has been resuscitated, and is alive and well, able to drive from the factory next month.
What do you guys reckon?
Any bets?
Will the Spider and P12 have Iris, or Egeria?
