Lol Call. If he has gone to the Outback, he won't be back by tomorrow for sure. From Melbourne to the Outback is similar distance as from Miami to Chicago!

d3syd · 07-15-2008, 11:29 AM

congrats cozza! Finally! Like everyone says.... pic please!

cozza · 07-15-2008, 07:19 PM

150km on the clock last night, and wow! So so happy. Brilliant little car.

WAY · 07-15-2008, 08:58 PM

What's the fuel consumption on the 125 like?

cozza · 07-15-2008, 10:48 PM

aedeau: Too early to tell - will monitor over the next week ansd let you know.

Larry: Thanks mate! Don't ban me - I promised I'll post nice pics soon :wink:

Wayne: Yep, you'll see me Sunday! Terra looks niiiiice!

Everyone else: PICS ARE COMING!! :biggrin: Although I really wanted to wait until I had the carbon fibre bits fitted and the windows are tinted. I guess I can always take more.

Guran · 07-16-2008, 01:29 AM

I'd be interested in seeing the fuel consumption figures too. Just please keep it going for at least a few thousand kms. The consumption is usually higher than normal for the first ~1000km, until the ECU switches out of "run-in" mode (my terminology - not sure what they actually call it).

aedeau · 07-16-2008, 02:01 AM

Anybody see the episode of top gear a couple of weeks ago wehre they had the fuel consumption of a prius vs a e9x m3?... m3 won lol

cozza · 07-16-2008, 04:01 AM

Here's a couple of quick pics from today. I really want to wait until I've had everything fitted before I take some good shots...

professor · 07-16-2008, 04:15 AM

very nice shots corey. two thumbs up!

AussieRacer · 07-16-2008, 06:41 AM

Looks $h!t hot! :thumbup:

Is that Business Nav or Pro Nav? How are you finding iDrive?

Zuzu · 07-16-2008, 07:39 AM

Congrats again Cory..Terra looks hot.:thumbup:

xa-coupe · 07-16-2008, 08:48 AM

I am getting more fond of the coral interior every time I see it.
Well done !

jksgoh · 07-16-2008, 09:22 AM

xa-coupe, thats terra (brown) not coral.
If you havnt seen the colours in person, i suggest you do, imho its impossible to get a good idea of what it really looks like from pics.... but you cant go wrong with either colour!

adam135aoc · 07-16-2008, 09:32 AM

over and over i am amazed at how amazing these cars look!

cozza · 07-16-2008, 09:46 AM

Thanks guys. Terra is difficult to capture in photos without a spot-on white balance. I'll try to take some daylight shots and post some that are true to the real-life colour.

AussieRacer: It's the Business Nav. iDrive is a sinch - not sure why there are so many bad reviews. Very easy to pick up.

Here's a pic I took tonight on the Eastlink Freeway in Melbourne. Not quite as sharp as I'd have liked it. I need to invest in a suction camera mount.
