Title: Today's the day!
Post by: phillh on August 24, 2009, 04:35:21

Later this afternoon we take delivery of our first NEW car. After a longish wait, (Ordered the car on the 19th June) we will soon be driving a red CRDI SLX manual i30.
The ship Planet Ace only docked in Brisbane on the 16th Aug so I and the Gympie dealer were a bit surprised when the car was unloaded in Gympie  on Friday morning. About a week early. Well done Hyundai.

Have done about 90 Km's so far...NICE!
I did a speedo check with a GPS today & found it to be about 2km slow across the range, not as bad as some others I've read about on this forum. When I work out how to post photos I'll put some up. My last attempt failed (was of the car carrier Planet Ace) .

Great news Phil :D

Don't worry about the speed difference; as you say it's widely reported that the speedo is out, erring on the safe side :)

Looking forward to the pics...
