Hello, my name is Justin. A south Australian from the Northern suburbs of Adelaide. I have been a fan of the GD i30 since it was released and am finally about to purchase one. My weapon of choice: a Cool RED GD i30 Tourer elite.

I have been keen on owing an i30, specifically in the last 6 months where i started an Instagram campaign to try and win an i30 in a Hyundai Australia competition. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful, but I continued on with the campaign. The campaign involved me getting the i30 for my 30th birthday on the 30th of December. I was using the hashtag #i30for30. I got the attention of some people from HMCA and have been in conversation with them ever since. I was fortunate to be loaned a i30 active tourer for two weeks and fell in love with the car. This campaign has lead me to purchasing my dream car. A bank loan will be necessary for me to be able to afford it however. I hopefully will have the car within the next 4 weeks and i will update this thread once i get it. For now you can jump on my instagram account ( @thi5_justin ) or look up the hashtag to see what i have done. Like and follow me, also introduce yourself on one of my photos so i can follow back. I am also on twitter @mrbsh1 .

Well until i get the car.... I'll see you soon.

Hello Justin and :wttc:

You can modify, which shows up left of the delete  button above the post. But you only have a few minutes to fix it and then it becomes permanent.  If you use tapatalk mobile app you can highlight the post you want to edit and use the edit icon. From there you change it at anytime. Even weeks later.

Sorry guys for the late reply. I have had the car now for a week. And I am absolutely loving it. No problems to report just that my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. Has taken me a while to get used to the push button to stop the car ( I keep forgetting to put in park before turning off). No photos as yet, Adelaide's weather has not been the best. I need to take some great shots to show of how sexy this red is.
