You can as soon as they are ready and you send the appropriate coinage to the Club, I'll let everyone know when they are in stock.

Its strange how perceptions change and what was once thought as complicated has become simplicity itself.
1988 me and dad walk into the local Rover dealer for me to see if I could afford the nearly launched Maestro Mayfair 1.3. I was driving a 1.3HL Allegro 3 at the time.The engines, A+'s looked almost identical. nothing scary there then. Dad was rather taken with a Montego Vanden Plas EFi, the fuel injected O series looking a little more intimidating although most of it looked recognisable it did seem space age compared to his Pinto engined Cortina. We then looked at a 820mpi M series, well I can see a distributor cap and a coil but what looked like 2 heads and all that plumbing and the spark plugs were nowhere to be seen, a new age had dawned. Looking under the bonnet of the newly launched 827 Fastback actually made my father swear and me close the bonnet and head straight back to the Mayfair looking the puppies privates in white over hurricane.
No deposit was paid that day although a year later I placed an order for my Maestro, and dad would commit to a Montego GSi, Roverised as the Austin named died, 800's did seem complicated cars though in 1988.

A friend of mine who is a skilled engineer and mechanic is terrified of carburetors, yet is quite happy to build a from-scratch efi manifold and set it all up with megasquirt and a laptop.

I suppose when you think of it, between the two systems, carbs are the more archaic and complex component compared to fuel injection, once you take the software and electronics out of the equation.

It all depends on what you grew up with I guess.
