Hi all,

I've been a member of this forum since 2008 when I had an i30 SLX CRDi on order. A 6-month delay in delivery made me cancel the order but I've finally got one! Picked up a manual CRDi SX cw 2 days ago, Hyper Silver with cruise. It seems very well equipped but I want a trip computer so will get a Scanguage soon.

I haven't visited the forum much in the last 4 years (embarrassment   :-[) but it's great to see it still going well.

Thanks for the welcome, folks. I'm looking forward to giving the car a run to Newcastle at the weekend.

Newcastle NSW of course...

150km into Newcastle trip, car going well. Did my first ever diesel refuel this morning with just a bit of apprehension. I thought the latex gloves were a myth but there they were, in the glove box. Diesel cheaper than petrol at the moment.  :D

The car looks great in Hyper Silver but I don't have any pics yet.

A quick plug for the dealership I bought from, Melrose Automobiles in Phillip, ACT. Great price and good to deal with.

Drive carefully . That little diesel motor was worth the wait I'm guessing  :happydance:
