Hi Guys,
Had to share this with you. I was heading down Gungahlin drive tonight at about 5.50pm. I went through a traffic light and there on my right, stopped at the red light was a lovely Red SLX i30. I dont see them that often so I waved as I drove past, not sure if they saw me. Any way, I was still looking in the rear view mirror when my 12 year old son quickly pointed another coming towards us, this time a Vivid blue SLX. Cool I said to my son, Two i30's in the space of 100m, Three including the one we are driving. Before I could even finish the sentence, only 2 or three cars behind the previous, another i30, again vivid blue but this time an SX flew by.
I reckon maybe I see one or two a day now, but to see three, and my own all on the same stretch of road within only seconds of each other, really was good stuff :D

Most of us on this site (including me) seem to get a kick out of seeing other i30's on the road (we also get excited if we see Tiida's with body kits or nice alloys)

I think it might be a computer virus.. :shock:

Have been seeing lots around Newy in the last week, i guess the latest shipment has put a few on the roads.
Parked next to one at Waratah shops and saw 2 in the space of 5 mins same Moonlight blue colour, did not catch the models but i think one was sx as it did not have alloys.

I wouls imagine the numbers are only going to increase as the back orders come in.

Mine will be back together tonight (Doing the passenger side lights as I type, I'm a clever person, two things at once)

All I can say is, you'll know it's me, from either the front or the rear!  :lol:

More i30's

Had to work in sydney on friday nioght at saterday, on the way down i was passed by a Moonlight Blue with towball.

On the way back on saterday night i was passed again by a Grey SLX crdi with a female driver and male passanger (around 5.30pm). I had my CC set on 120kph and they both went passed going around 125-130kph. Neither made a look in my direction so prob not forum members.

Cheers Thumper.
I'm going to be flatout this week with work, but I'll see how I go.
It would be a lovely drive down
:D

According to Google Maps roughly 3 and a half hours from Nowra.
Probably less once you get going on the Hume.

I saw a steel gray i30 (from afar) on Saturday 15th at a set of light along Kissing Point Road and Park Road/Adderton Road. It was about 6:30pm. Now from the looks of it, it looked like Drew1981 because it had the same kind of rims, but it also had LED rear lights. I only caught a glimpse of it so can't be 100% sure plus I was driving in the other direction to get some dinner otherwise I would have turned around and taken a closer look.

I passed (going the other way) a moonlight blue i30 on saturday going through Dunmore Shellharbour (south of Wollongong)
The other person did look, but I'm not sure if it was anyone from here
:D
