Hi all.
I've just joined this forum.
I live in McLaren Vale South Australia, and recently purchased an SX metallic black i30 CRDi.
I took the SX - rather than an SLX - because it was already in stock (demo).
I've kitted it out with some nice mags, tinted windows, rear spoiler, rear parking sensor, upgraded alarm & towbar.
Looking forward to contributing to this forum.

Hi OM,

A very big Welcome aboard... sounds like a nice car (the boys and girls would love to see some photos... especially showing the mags)

Cruising around the site (so to speak) you will see we have some fun and a diverse range of characters and talents,,,

Most of us enjoy the site almost as much as our great cars..

Best Wishes,

Dazz

[OMVanders]

Thanks for the welcome Dazz.
I'll be sure to post some pics - as soon as I've taken some!
It gets a few inquisitive looks for sure, especially since there doesn't seem to be many i30's on the road as yet in Adelaide.  That's because everyone's still waiting for them to be delivered off the boat maybe!

Hi OMVanders

Nice to finally see another Adelaidian in the Club.
Which dealer did you get you i30 from

Dave

[OMVanders]

Hey Dave

I purchased from Reynella Hyundai.

How about you?

[i30Dave]

I'm getting mine from Stillwell Hyundai Medinde. Have ordered a steel grey SR
Will be getting it this week.

[OMVanders]

That will be one very nice machine.
Nice colour, and I love the alloys that Hyundai put on the SR.
I saw them up close at the Motorshow recently.
Enjoy the ride...  bet you're counting the sleeps!  

[i30Dave]

been many sleepless nights over the past 9 weeks

Welcome OMVanders,

from one of the 3.5 poms on the site.

[Shambles]

And a welcome from another of the 3.5 poms

[Dazzler]

It's all right OM..

One of them isn't a Half-wit...

He commutes Between Aus and UK (6 months in each)

[eye30]

I'm the full (100%) pom from Liverpool

[OMVanders]

So Dazzer that blows my theory out of the water.  I thought there was 7 poms in the forum for a sec!

[OMVanders]

In all seriousness chaps, thanks for the welcome from the far away uk.  I'll just have to keep it quite that I've seemingly been conversing with at least one Manchester United supporter (my eldest lad is pretty keen on West Ham)

[Dazzler]

I'm not touching that one... although I better be careful (as I'm half pom and think I'm a bit of a wit!)

WEST HAM.  You need to have a serious talk to him.

Although I'm from Liverpool I support the other team in the City - EVERTON

I'll try not to hold that against you. For now I'll just keep following my beloved Carlton FC in the AFL.
