Wooot! that not bad, only 16hrs to the logistical side of patrick's. Saw plenty of euro cars on car transporters on the way back from Geelong today so looks like the yards have been emptied at the compliance joint

Now for the 8 day wait to the dealership....

[payno]

wow... just wow.

I've got to say today has probably been one of the most exciting of my life - picking up my first brand new car. I got to the dealer bright and early to find my car sitting right out front still being polished and I don't think the smile has left my face since.

Every single choice I made about this car was perfect. The candy white just looks amazing on the GTI, especially with the contrasting red. I wouldn't change a thing about any of the options I got and I'm really happy I ended up going with the 5 door.

After 100kms today, I can say this is one hell of a fun car to drive. I know there is debate over whether it's better to treat the car softly or hard in the run in period but the manual says to be soft with it so I think I'll go with that. That being said I still had some fun and this thing can absolutely fly.. the acceleration is just ridiculous.

I'll provide more thoughts soon and once I've driven it a bit more.

Photo shoot on the weekend I'm thinking. Be patient . Don't want to upload just any old photo.

Once she is warm, there will be no stopping me in mine, except for when I bed in the brakes of course

Drive it hard when warm, just dont abuse it. Cars that are babied are generally the problem cars.
