Basically, I'm just saying Hi, look forward to being an active member of this wonderful forum.
Went a new SR Continental Silver, extras were bluetooth and reverse parking sensors.
I wonder if the dealer is feedin'me a porky. Curious when I read through this forum to see waits of 7 months, this sort of thing.
Then I started getting concerned con was to sign you up and string you along well into 2009.
Anyways, nice to meet you all, I'm from Melbourne.
I'm already having sleepless nights thinking about long weekends away with the new wheels.
It'll be so nice to not have to drive what is an absolute POS.
Kind Regards
cmonkey

Unfortunately its still by foot, as my i30 has not been delivered yet. (about 4 weeks away, apparently)

Delivery date of the next shipment is Sydney: 12th December, and usually you'll wait a week for them to unload it & get the car to the dealership and detailed. My dealership decided to take that as a cue to not have it ready until after Christmas, but push em hard they'll get it before then. If for whatever reason your car isn't on that shipment, you'll get an 09-build-date model at least... That's not really much of a consolation is it?
Make sure to update your profile with your location and current car details ... "Rides: Feet"

The two main reasons for the delays:
A strike in Korea which lasted longer than usual.
Heavy demand in Europe.
The strike is now over, and there is a new Hyundai plant in operation in Europe, so the delivery times should be much closer to estimates.

when did you order cmonkey?
im also waiting, not far away now.
thanks everyone for your hospitality, your kind words.
Ordered the vehicle only 3 weeks ago or so.
I guess if reading the forum has taught me one thing its to lower my expectations re the ultimate delivery date.
Thanks for all the info, I'm cautiously hopeful I'll be loading Christmas presents into it.

While you're waiting you can read all the postings so when you get it you'll know all you need to about the i30.
