But I'm wondering no more, I know! And WOW! What a great car! Unfortunately I've had 3 item which needed immediate attention. Firstly was a leaking auto, fluid was coming from the servo on the LH side of the transmission 2 days after pickup, malformed gasket. Secondly an intermittent fault, no reverse, it just wouldn't engage, faulty S3 solenoid and finally another transmission leak a cracked return cooler pipe.I love the sound, you know what I'm talking about! Love the auto, now it works! Love the color (blueprint). Love the power and torque, great for overtaking and I'm surprised at the grip level of the rear end of the ute being leaf springs but I'm not complaining.I would have loved to bring it to the Melbourne dyno day, I was surposed to take delivery the day before. I was going to attend anyway but thought that seeing all you guys with your turbos would just annoy me more I opted not to, hopefully another day.I know by now what you are all saying "where are the photos", I have the photos just need a scanner so I can post them, no digital camera, sorry!Finally, I would just like to say great car, great website well done to everyone involved (like the new look) and great mix of people.

I can't beleive how well this car goes AND handles even though its a ute with a solid rear axle. Still can't find the limits of adhesion (in the dry that is) ..... it just turns into corners so damn well, it feels like a lot smaller lighter vehicle than it is."Can't get enough" :D Am I raving again? got to stop and act my age now! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I with there was a bit less road noise coming through from the back though, it's alright on smooth roads but the rough country highways I drive on make it a bit louder, but that's what the stereo is for I guess.
