Thanks Trish.... 

I broke my ankle bushwalking so that's it, no more exercising for this little black duck... 
The poor ol' ambos had to carry me out as they couldn't get a chopper in to airlift me out...

I thought you said they could have, Rusty, but couldn't get one with a high enough payload capacity to winch you out.   
(From one big guy to another, all said in love, in a very non-sexual, manly way, of course.  ).

I love you too, Dave...   

Must admit I would've liked to have been air lifted out but then I would've missed out on all the fun I went through being jostled and bumped and nearly dropped over all those hours it took them to get me out....

I always said Bushwalking not good for you.

My i30 is officially 5 years old this coming Friday. What a great vintage!

[rustynutz]

WooHoo!

Well....5 years on the road today....

My diesel is a fabulous car. I have only had one warranty claim. It was a battery, which was dodgy from the start but replaced (quite reluctantly by my local Hy) a week before my car was a year old. It hasn't missed a beat since.

I still feel just as I did after I took a diesel for a test-drive early in 2010. I said to the saleswoman..."There IS such a thing as a free lunch! It's got so much go in it yet it is incredibly frugal on fuel!"


Bring on the next 5 years....

Gee Paolo, you are making me wish I'd kept mine now!

The ABC morning presenter in W.A. was raving on radio about the i30 diesel.
He drives a Chrysler 300 diesel and when it was in for service his loan car was an i30 diesel.
He loved it and was amazed how good it was to drive.
