+  4 day-shifts passed 
+  4 days off awaits me

[Lester]

Good News: Just had a 1700km week long trip down to Rutherglen Wine areas, just over the NSW border in Victoria. Down the Hume Hwy, back the Snowy Mountains Hwy, bit of snow about, my 3 month old new i30 Trophy went well.  Had muchas vino tastings at the likes of Brown Bros, All Saints, Bullers etc.

Bad News: Traveling in OZ is getting too expensive, cheaper to go overseas.

[Doggie 1]

Sounds like a nice drive all the same Lester.

It was mate and these i30's really handle the curves well, with the tail weighted down with 4 or 5 boxes of Rutherglen vino.  I do like the NE Victorian fortifieds, Tawny Port..mmm.

You're my sort of drinker driver.

[meehalych]

+ no traffic jam is expected in the evening, when I set off home
+ 4 days off ahead
+ 4 parcels await me in a post office (three of them may be the books I suppose)
- there is a rattle in my cee'd, wafting somewhere from dashboard, on the right side (seems like a plug hitting a plastic) 
many owners have noticed it too

[Just Rick]

---- I am absolutely livid, car goes in for a service Wednesday,Thats OK, Sue drops the car off.Thats OK, Mechanic drops her home, they have the car all day,they come and pick Sue up, to pick up the car, Sue calls into the local shop on the way home,swears she never clipped anything, car has been parked in the garage since it was picked up, I pull it out of the garage to wash and do wheel rotation,never noticed anything untoward, when I started washing it, found a freaking big dent in the front fender,I know accidents happen,but for soemone to say nothing pisses me off.

[Dazzler]

Jeepers Rick that is terrible 

[Doggie 1]

I'd still go back.
Let them know that you know. Tell them it certainly wasn't done since and you'd like someone to own up. Put the onus back on them, I reckon.

If it was another car, there should be two owners complaining, very difficult to prove though. What bad form 

[Just Rick]

Oh! they wil lbe getting a call tomorrow I can tell you,I was that livid, I put Bruce back in the shed without finish washing him, there obviously wasn't two cars invovled, it looks more like some one dropped something against it,I realise it is going to be a he said she said, it's just annoying, now I got to find one of those dent fixing mobs.

You might want to consider the impact (sorry) of using a 'dent place' on any remaining Hy paintwork guarantee ...

Paint warranty doesn't seem to be that much of an issue in Australia 

It would only be an issue if an area near the damaged section had problems later and these paintless repair guys actually work on a much smaller area than what a normal panel repair shop would ...

+ 5 days to go before we set off with two friends for a 10 day holiday to the Algarve Portugal

-  There is no broadband at the villa we have rented - and we are told that mobile reception is too flaky to use a broadband dongle.

+ i30 club members will get some relief with me being incommunicado for 10 days - unless of course there is a local bar or restaurant with wi-fi

[Phil №❶]

I'm sure you'll find a way 

[Doggie 1]

I always carry my own dongle wherever I go.

[meehalych]

unless of course there is a local bar or restaurant with wi-fi

McDonald's is the answer 

+ haven't figured out yet
- awful weather; yet 2 days to work

[Dazzler]

+ Got my new Hybrid today (and mosty good impressions)

- Alan might be offline for 10 days

If there are other villa's which are "residential" maybe you can log on using their signal.
