I have no problem admitting my "origins" but I have lived here for a long time and have the passport by choice.

I have little time for those who live here and maybe become citizens but continue to bring all their original national problems with them. If you want to be an Australian, then adopt your new home country. If you don't then you need to reconsider why you are here.

In sport, I support Australia which is why I am still sore about the ashes

WPA, welcome and enjoy your new TDV8.... I will probably go TDV8 next time, but I would liketo try the new TDV63.0 sometime. Mind you, with our speed limits.....? Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Out of curiosity, how much were you able to negotiate off the retail price of the car? And what was the reason you didn't end up getting adaptive dynamics?

I test drove both the V6 3.0 & V8 3.6 and to me they were like chalk and cheese. The TDV8 although on paper does not look to different to the V6 3.0, the seat of the pants test tells a different story. I was not interested in continuing negotiations on the TDV6 after testing the TDV8. Vrrmmm and the sound - oh so nice

Hi Steve, not sure what retail is but I used discountnewcars.com.au as my starting point and worked down from there. I ended up buying it for less the advertised price on dnc with my options so that gives you some idea.

I didn't get adaptive dynamics because I didn't see myself driving the car that hard that it would be of any benefit.

If it was always on, like dynamic response then I would have got it but I believe you have to switch to it using the terrain response dial so I did not think I would use it that much - if at all. I could be wrong. Maybe nice for resale but I think a little gimmicky. Saying that I optioned the paddle shift

can someone give me model no's etc re Alpine aftermarket DVD / Headrest screen system? Does it suit MY10?

My cars arrived at the dealer 1 month early and I will be picking it up early next week . I can't wait.

It's an 04/10 build so they shipped it over pretty quick. I am going to try and drop by tomorrow and hope to take a few shots - if not tomorrow, then next week.

Here she is at the dealers. They have her in the show room. Sorry for quality taken with an iphone.
