The .:R36 has arrived!!!

[Jayse]

Picked up my black .:R36 wagon today...and wouldn't you know it's pissing down with my car outside..dammit!!

Before you scream where are the pics...i did take some on my phone but i can't find my micro SD adapter...

Will take some proper ones after this weekend when i put the tint on it.

So far so good to drive, i now know what they mean about deceptively quick!! Gave it a lil on the freeway and i can't wait for the engine to open up even more after i run it in a bit! Lots of fun to come.

I'll have to go through the thick manual to work out all of the toys i have at my disposal.

Optioned up for the SATNAV(came with reversing cam), Dynaudio, Auto Tailgate and sunroof.

Cheers,

Jayse.

get the bluetooth and tell me how it goes

[Jayse]

haha...nice try..

Actually the dealer told me the "new" one thats just out only answers and disconnects via the steering wheel...nothing on the MFD or RNS510 screen.

He reckons to wait and see if the one thats being used in Europe comes here.

well there's gotta be someone out there....

the listed price was $790 - not cheap either.

Jayse,

I am still waiting for my black R36 wagon. Dealer has told me it will be ready on the 15th December so l can't wait. It will have been 5 months from date of order but feels like 10!!!! Have ordered RS4 19" rims and just decided on Michelin PS2 tyres. They are bloody expensive at $795 per corner (I actually got them for $700 each after some negotiating) but decided that l wanted to see for myself how good they are supposed to be.

Let us know more of your thoughts on the car after the weekend also and how it performs.

Cheers

Macka

Macka,

After waiting just shy on 6 months for my car i know of your frustration/impatience/anticipation/etc etc for getting the keys to your very own .:R36 in your hands.

FYI: The car came with Dunlop SP SPORT 01...havent driven them nearly enough to comment but they handled ok in the wet yest.

Will def come back after the weekend with pics and more of my thoughts on the car

Cheers,

Jayse.

They only get better with time, too...!

Congrats on the purchase and more importantly the delivery of the R36 Jayse.
Like Macka, mine was ordered several months ago (Biscay Blue Wagon with auto tailgate, sunroof, tint and towbar) and is due to arrive on Dec 12th before spending up to a week in Customs & Compliance and then a couple of days with the Dealer.

I'm hoping it will be a great Christmas present and touching as much wood as possible until my hands are on the steering wheel. Just counting the sleeps !


Like the others I'm keen to see the pic's and hear how she drives too !

My dealer Burwin reckons ours is December 10th so it must be the same delivery batch. we should find out which ship so we can if they tell us porkies if they're late and we miss christmas. Looks like this lot of VW's wont be left in bond. I saw a pile of Toyotas in a lot on the Geelong road this weekend.

Thanks Steve.

You back from overseas?
Did you end up getting a fix for your reversing cam?
