Bad to admit, but that was up to 120kph - Gatton-Bribie, Bribie-Gatton and return, then down to Lakeside to watch 'Time Attack' this afternoon -[3 86's running] warning light came on so I filled - Iguess it comes on with 10L left in the tank - it took 43.5L

You can drive a car fast and still get good economy!!

I could have killed the b*tch inside the satnav, I dont know how many times I told her simply to shut up!! nag nag nag!! Then found out you have to be stopped and ignition only to go into 'setting's and have her put down!!

the trick is to set it to visual warnings only, that way it remembers each time you start up. removing all speed warning and it reverts back next start...

Yea, my mate was trying to get rid of her while I was driving - then found the engine can't be running!

Only fault I can find is no steering wheel mounted stereo/radio controls, only the knob on the dash. To adjust volume you have to reach over and do that

Won't be driving it now for about a week, DD to the rail is one of th MX5's - lucky undercover in a secure parking station [free!!]

Only 201.5mm of rain here since 11.30pm Friday night!!

I don't believe it!! My original order [still in my name with my permission] has finally progressed to 'planned production month April'

That's quick!! Considering the order was placed on 2 July last year!!

Velocity Orange GT MT

I still have the 'tracking' so will follow it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'Sirius Leader' has now left Townsville and currently off Ayr heading south, if 'Marine Traffic' says 'no record', simply google 'Sirius Leader' and click on current position and then click on the grid co-ordinates, that brings it up

Should be in Brisbane by this time tomorrow!!

Gettin' here 'Retlaw'!! hang in there!!

But with 'like-minded' people it helps pass the time!! Funny, since mine arrived I miss the 'tracking/stalking' !!!! Now I'm tracking my original order from 2 July, now planned for April and still in my name, so I will have fun with that!! Beats playing dominos alone!

Bah. My dealer won't give me the name the ship is on, skirting around the point and TMCA said that the details aren't there.

I was looking forward to tracking which ship it was on. I guess I'll just have to guess based on others who are getting their car mid-march.
