YAY,

After 3 aborted delivery dates and pretty lax service from the dealer we have gotten the Terra Bronze T6 home safe and sound.

Funnily enough the salesman didnt have the balls to front up and present the car to us when we picked it up, he knows he would have got a roasting from the missus, some other dude ran us thru it.

Bike rack has been changed to a less userfriendly model due to a change in Australian standards.......its strange isnt it. Australian design standards seems to mean less functional, less user friendly and less economical......weird !?!

Will post some pics when I take it up to Wollongong lighthouse so they are all artsy farsty
