I am coming to the conclusion that those that had a 6 or 8 cylinder or a Turbo prior to the R have a bigger adjustment to driving that NA 4 cyl drivers do..

Has anybody been able to get the "TP" (traffic thing) to work on their headunit?

It's basically not supported in Australia. None of the radio stations broadcast the TP messages.

Too much 4Motion at your place mate.
Nice garage though.

Hope we can see you at the Euro gathering.
