Title: Out with the old and...etc.
Post by: SPman on December 06, 2018, 07:16:13

Well, the 2012 Diesel CW had come up for replacement, so, after 220,000 mechanically fault free kms, it was time to trundle in and pick up the replacement. So, a nice new i30 SR manual in blue, is now our mode of conveyance. Both of us being bike riders, it's nice to have something that can punch past the truck and trailers that infest our main road in to town, and the ditherers that sit behind them, without so much strategic planning. 4 weeks and 3500kms on, we've now re-adjusted our driving to suit, have mastered the media system, and she should all be good. We ordered in July (no manuals in stock, or state), note the car was manufactured in Sep, and it arrived end of October.
