good decision mate, i am soooo glad I cancelled my order and chose one in stock.

Done. Deposit paid. Now to cancel my other order.

So… who wants to pick me up from Melbourne airport and drive me over to Berwick?

Actually, where the hell is Berwick and can I get any form of public transport there?

It's just off the Monash freeway East of Dandenong (south).
And yes, there's a train station there. Based on how long it used to take me to get from Flinders St to Glen Waverly, I'd say it'd be about an hour train ride.

skybus to spencer st station and then take the pakenham line to berwick, prob take you around 2 hours from airport to dealership that way, or an hour in a taxi taking citylink and monash freeway

Nice work! I picked up my R from Berwick a few weeks back, nice bunch of guys there. They seem to have a few in stock there at the moment, there were at least 2 others on the forecourt.

Yeah Berwick had a car with exactly same specs as my order coming in four weeks. In the end I decided on a local car ready now. Berwick was very helpful over the phone.

Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with them. But, to be honest, apart from the big 2 Sydney dealers that share a name, but with one dealership located close to the airport the other in the Inner west, every dealer I spoke with was helpful.

But these guys have a very easy and straight foward process. Car hasn't arrived yet, but should be delivered in about 1 week, then prepared and then ready to go. All other R's have now been sold from what they told me.

Going to come back over the Monaro Highway rather than the Hume so should be a good running in period for it.

Can't wait.

Ideo,
sounds great.
I wanted to buy from them, they had a RB 3 door, dsg, MDI, sunroof, RVC coming in in 4 weeks, that was two weeks ago.
Exactly same as my order (except the rvc).
I was planning flying down, driving back via Sydneyy with a few nights at a mates place.
Would have been a great way to "meld" with the Beast.

Unfortunately Wifey preferred I wasnt away from our business for that long as we have set up a new sales division.
So i went with a local car that Austral had sitting out at their Eagle Farm holding yard.

Happy with the choice, but lament what could have been a great road trip.

Enjoy the drive Ideo, try to not do it too quickly and enjoy the car and sounds that wonderful engine makes.

Dave.

P.S. I have to admit driving it with the windows down and stereo off just to listen to the sounds of the Donk.

Yabba Dabba Doo!

Wiils, quite often, we often go for a drive on sundays, and I like the SC.
Looking forward to doing david Low way from Marcoola to Noosa.
Also back way in from Pamona is an interesting drive.
I remember as a young wipper snapper driving in convoy with my mates heading to Lake Cootharabah with our sailing boats on trailers, driving with our lights off along that road, guided by the full moon light.
God, how stupid you are at 19?
Gees we did some stupid stuff.
I remember one easter on houseboats on the Noosa River, when we went through 43 cartons of beer and a couple of bottles of Jim Beam (12 guys).
We'd kill ourselves now if we tried to do that. (46 and a tad smarter now).

Besides much prefer a bottle of "Henschke- Hill of Grace" now.
