New R36 owner

sounds good for a catch up.

I did my finance through a commercial hire purchase which doesnt automatically entitle you to the fleet discount however i work for Optus head office so we have the highest level discount available.

We also manage all of VWA corporate communications along with Inchcape (who own CCC) so that helps as well.

Yeah picking it up at 11am tomorrow so cant wait.

Picked up the new car today as mentioned.
The sales guy ran throught the car in great details which was more for my wife than anything. They also had a really nice gift hamper full if nice food and chamers which won my wife over straight away. All in all i was extremely happy with the service i received.

My wife drove the car home and when i arrived after her she had a huge smile on her face which was to be expected.

We went down to the beach in the arvo and i got to drive. It certainly is a fantastic all round practical performance car. i have not driven a DSG for long before so it will take a bit getting used to at slow speeds. Still a bit jerkey on take off but besides that its fantastic. Its nice having the option between auto, sequential and paddle shift.

Im going to read the manual tonight (or at least start it as its lengthy) so get the most out of the features.

Anyhow here are some pics so far. I will take some better ones with the SLR over the next few days.

Also nice to meet you John, the wait will certainly be worthwhile

Hey Matt, Nice to meet you too. Glad to hear Ingrid was happy with the car! Nice touch with the hamper and champers. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts about the car over the coming months. Cheers, John

Has anyone considered doing the S6 LED daytime driving light mod? Im seriously keen.

Black is the only colour Rs look good in IMO.

Very nice! VW ownership should earn you a few bonus PDR points

Cheers,
