Bonus points to the first person that knows the reference for my topic name!

Anyhooo...

New here, obviously... From Canada... Clearly... Have a 2013 Elantra GT aka i30 5 door.
It's the GLS spec, which means it haaaaaas:
1.8L MPI petrol
6spd manual gearbox
16" alloys
Front fog lights
Panorama roof
Bluetooth connectivity
Satellite radio
Leather steering wheel and shift knob
Power driver's seat

I have had it since new in Nov 2012, and in the last nearly four years I put just over 95,000km (59,000mi for those playing at home) on the clock.

The car hasn't been much trouble aside from the odd thing or there that's been minor; which can't be said for my last car which was essentially a Vauxhall/Opel Vectra with a bowtie on the grille.

The car is currently 2 "stages" into my tarmac rally/GRC inspired build, hence the board name, and I'm quite excited to see where I can take things in the future.

Looking forward to checking out this forum and seeing what everyone is up to.

Oh did I mention the car is black? No? Oh well it's black. I'm much like Henry Ford in that sense; any color as long as it's black.

Byyyeeee!

You know, in Afghanistan, I shared quarters with both Americans and Canadians among many others.
I used to joke that a Canadian was like an American, only happy. :lol:

Haha. Yep. My son is a Mississauga firefighter,  married to  Canadian,  with 2 kids. All pretty true.
I spent a lot of years building and driving rally cars, but mostly on gravel and mostly at night.
