Some honest thoughts there (sometimes lacking in some parts of this forum).

Just call it "pointless park delete" so as to protect those Cadiz, and soon to be BBS.

Haha, sure! I got the pointless park delete model because party tricks are overrated To be fair, the lane assist + ACC is a neat enough party trick, particularly when I took my folks out for a drive without hands or feet controlling the car.

Did a few more kms today many on the twisty roads in the hills of outer Melbourne, and had a bit more fun. It will definitely grow on me when I settle on the tech/features I will actually use vs the stuff I won’t care about.

I’m being extra careful not to curb the 19” Prets, and practising for the BBS coming in the new year. I think the 18”s will be a welcome change to my future road trips. Leave the 19”s for the track days

I travelled some of those twisties when I lived in Melbourne; pity about the moronic speed limits they post on some of the roads.

[bkpr]

Yeah, the speed limits are a bit safe, but I wasn’t too fussed: most of it was fast enough for me at the moment. It was the other drivers that got in the way

Did a pull from standstill out of a t-intersection to about 140kph which felt …very nice! Forgot to chuck it in race mode though and did it in Eco or comfort still fun tho

[Dutch77]

I see your typo there.. '..to about 100kph (in the 100 zone) which felt..'

[bkpr]

Of course.
I was ****scared I’d lose my licence though, and probably won’t do anything like that again unless it’s on a track :S

[Dutch77]

Maybe then we can hear the Akra..

[bkpr]

Bloody hell! Aight, the R’s garaged in Nth Melb for a few days, then I’m driving out east. I’ll see what I can do down a quiet country road. Will aim for a 2018 sound file ;P

[Dutch77]

I think we're all expecting a bit more effort?

[bkpr]

!!! Your photoshop skills have come along in leaps and bounds.
