Whilst driving home last night down the M2 I saw coming up the other way 4 car transporters full of i30's

So every one who is waiting, like me, can get all excited that their car could be on the back of it!!

Great stuff, too early for mine, but bulldog180's could be on one of them too..... :question:

I guess you may be the first one of us to land the U2 and 6sp gearbox, so looking forward to feedback when it gets there!

Got hold of the owner of my dealers today and he told me that i would have the reistration number of mine within a week so that i could sort out the insurance for me to take delivery. So yes one of those could have been mine( i hope ) :D

Don't forget all you UK guys who have been given a "taster date"... call your dealer and ask for the list of possible plates 'cos you can choose one that you like from the range they will already have allocated.

Hey, you never know :)

Hi Andy i was thinking for a moment you was in Sydney as we have an M2 here but don't see many car transporters on that. should add your location with your name makes it easier.
cheers

ps. we now see lots of i30's here in Sydney Australia now so would not excite us as much now.

Good one Lorian.

Andys101 - I'll try and think one up for you too :D

Thing is, the dealers have several to choose from which aren't so exotic, so if you get a choice you might as well select the best if you can. My selection was utter crap so I let them choose

The only redeeming feature is mine very nearly spells a rude word  :mrgreen:

LO59IAN isn't an option  :rolleyes:
