As I am an owner of an i30, I decided to join this ownersclub.
I got the car for free :D

I already got a huge scrath at the back of my car, I think someone got to close with his bike
My top speed test is 196km/h (187km/h on paper)
Plans: - chiptuning
- bodykit
- new rims
- sports exhaust with new airfilter
- and so on ...
I hope I can learn a lot of the i30 here in this forum.
(Sorry if i made some language mistakes)

Geez they got a bit technical... reckon seeing as they only gave you a base model you should have had a choice of colour (without cost) :D. I wanted to get the full option one but at that time I hadn't had some much money. There was the price for the color, road taxes, insurance and so on ... So I took the basic model
Post by: Dazzler on June 28, 2008, 23:57:05
Aftermarket upgrades are often cheaper anyway and you get the individual look that you want...

LOTS and LOTS of men have voted becuz they thought she was in the contest.
I'm such a bad boy :shock:
And actually we did not win. We had 3 votes less than the normal winner. But a day later, a woman called when I was on the toilet and she said I had won! But I did not believed her, I thought it was a joke. She said the normal winner had 10 false votes wich made me number 1!

And when I told my gf :p she got so freaked out :)
I never would have won if I didn't had my girlfriend

I was congratulating you on a fine story. A story being something with a start, a middle and an end.
Start: creating your vids and entering the competition
Middle: using any means to get votes
End: standing right next to your prize
Bingo.
As for telling the kids, I was hinting at how lovely your girlfriend is

Yup you are right. My PSU stinks, so out it will come. I should have known having 3 IDE drives & 2 SATA drives was too much for a 450W power supply. Will shove a 550W in right now.

Back in 10 mins
I also had one of 450W, and it also died :p And gues what, i aslo got a 550W right now:p

Great story.
Just a few questions:
Do you get free servicing etc?
Are they going to do a follow up?
Could you have upgraded the car?

Follow up, hmmm i think not
Yes I could but I had to pay for the extras, wich at that time I didn't had. And I only got 2 months to choose.

Yes, when the car goes into the garage for yearly or 10,000 miles service.
You would pay euros for this but IS IT FREE as part of the prize.
Post by: Dazzler on June 29, 2008, 18:15:13
Noticed they delivered your i30 to the beach with alloys but you didn't get to keep them.
If you pay your bills over here with a bad cheque they sometimes take the goods back....(no offense meant)

No, it's not free. Only the car itself was free.

Okay FREE beats my deal hands down.
I also enjoyed this story and in all due respect I understand why you got votes with the picture of your girlfriend.
All the best with your new car and I will let you know how I go with mine once it actually arrives.

I want to vist your country. I believe there are more brewerys in Belgium than any other country in the world. I want to visit every one!
Also, i am told that you make fruit flavoured sweet beers there. I tried one once that I bought from a local bottle shop. It was very interesting. I homebrew myself, mostly stout although I did make pale lager once which I fermented with a punnet of over-ripe strawberries. The result was pleasing.
I will make some enemies here by saying this but Aussie beers for the most part are insepid and boring. Most are under-hopped lagers and all taste pretty much the same.That is why I brew my own. Also works out a lot cheaper.
Cheers

Hi Piglet,We have indeed fruit flavoured sweet beers. For example wild cherry and raspberry. There are diffrent wild cherrys. The normal one and the Max one wich has more sweet taste. We indeed have alot of brewerys here and also museums of beer.

Nick's 24th birthday today, spookily also exactly 12 months since he last visited us :(
I saw that yesterday.. I was guessing he came to visit because he got a birthday email (in fact I think I might have sent him one :idea:)
