Iain thanks for your detailed reply much appreciated. I'm looking fwd to having an awesome sound system.

Good luck today gun16 what a happy new year!

I Just drove past MB magregor, an A45 wearing dealer plates looked like it was being brought back from a final test by a mechanic. Someone else's special day today!

Hi All,
Merry Christmas and happy new year to all. Looking forward to 2014 with new A250
Guys, I placed an order almost 3 months ago and still haven't got a build date! How long does it take to get it here after the car is built?
Thanks

If all things are good in the universe, you should be getting into your new a250 just about now gun16! Yahooooo!!!

Hi Macdub,

My car was on the boat 1st November and arrived in Brisbane on 19th December.
I should get my car at the end of this week. So mine took about 8 weeks.

Mine was 3 weeks to get on boat, 6 weeks to get to Australia. 7 days to pick up from dealer.
Past 1000 kms today. Exhaust sounds getting so much better. Still haven't tried sport mode yet. Can't believe it only use. 6.2 litres/100. Highly recommended drivers assist package. Distronic plus make drive so much easier.

Hopefully you're in your new 250 now mate!

I just read in the VW Watercooled forum that a guy picked up his new GTI and returned it 4 hours later when he realised it didn't have their equivalent of the driver's assist pack (lane keeping, distance cruise etc) that he had ordered with his car
They admitted their mistake but he now has to wait another 3 months!
He traded his old GTI in and they wouldn't give it back to him!
Luckily they agreed to supply him with a 2 nd hand Tiguan until his new car arrives.
Not happy!
Can you imagine when they figure out who stuffed up the order!

You guys all rock!

Best experience

I am in love.

Pics to come!

 

[gun16]

Here is a couple of quick ones

 

[gun16]

Chuffed with the different wheel caps

 

[gun16]

Both plastic trims in the rear arches in tact, no seatbelt rattle currently..... 2014 updates as expected. Oh and Continentals!!!! The car had 29 kms on it.

Got the Mercedes blanket over the car treatment, a $100 gift voucher I spent on a boot tray and wheel caps and a bottle of Moet.

Really impressed with the treatment when it came to crunch time

Awesome mate!!
Pretty exciting isn't it!
Love the black wheel centres. I have been too bloody lazy to figure out how to put photos on here. I think they suit the wheels better, look more modern, sporty and sophisticated.
Love the white (like mine). Plates rock as well!
The pano sunroof looks brilliant with the white as well. Are you still thinking of putting a piano black film over the rest of the roof?
Congrats mate!

Bottle of Moët ! What the!
I only had a couple of bottles of the local winery from here in Geelong!
I bought the Merc rubber boot tray, love it.

mine had 26kms on it too.
took my car to great ocean road yesterday, seat belt was fine, but keypad and air con area rattles and had this clicking sound, only happened in geelong area on the way there and on the way back, on other roads are very quiet. so not sure if I should get it checked, or geelong should fix their roads.

gun16, how is your friend's S3?
by the way, once again, thanks for the speed cam file (sorry couldn't remember who made it). works perfect with 10 secs alert. but I had to leave my sd card in there to work.

Super exciting, I can't lose the grin off my face

Yeah the black centres really make it and for $96 for the four I reckon are great value

White is clearly the best colour

Yes still planning to get the rest of the roof wrapped in piano black.

Booked in for paint/interior/window protection coatings friday, then formula 1 tint all round next week and then the wrap

I also heard the keypad rattle in the C200 on a couple of rough roads so looks like that may not be limited to just the A Class
