Hi guys (and girls?),

Bought an i30 yesterday. Traded my 2007 Dodge Caliber SE 1.8 (with a little tear in my eye, if i'm honest), got a fantastic deal.

It's a 1.6 GDi 5 deurs with all the bells and whistles in Black.

A bit about me........... Live in the Netherlands after emigrating in 1979.

Previous cars i've driven include (in order of appearance) Ford Escort series 1, Land Rover, Rover SD1 V8, Ford Escort series 3, Opel Kadett (2X) Opel Corsa, Citoen BX - ZX - Saxo - Xsara, Lamboughini (Rental), Aston Martin (Rental), Dodge Caliber.

You all have a good one...

Dave.

Hey there. Welcome.

Lamborghini and Aston as rentals. Bit better than the rentals we have here LOL.
Must have been pretty good step up from the Opel's and Citroen.

Or did you change your name from Pat to Dave for some odd reason?

No problemen, it's a valid question.

Originaly i'm from Birmingham, England. I left at 19 and have been living here ever since.
