you mean the blackouts? there aren't any.;)

BTW you got a good deal on the Berger paint I got mine for $204 Bunnings price:(

No, I can't see any images at all. So can you post the images again. Can anyone else see any images he posted or is it just me?

I had a paint shop which was opposite my old shop. I went in to buy some paint and some filler once and stated that they probably couldn't beat Bunnings prices (this was about 10 years ago. They did beat their prices and I have been going back to this same paint shop for years. This is a good example - $150 vs $204. If anyone in Melbourne wants the same paint for the same price, let me know.

Okay so, this from a guy who works on new, nice expensive cars regularly....
I arrived at the dealership this afternoon, there was our Redline, out the front, ready, quite clean well presented, all our replaced items in the boot, sitting in the arvo sun ready to meet its new owners. After about an hour of faffing about in the dealership I kind of just wanted to get out, the staff were very nice and very congratulatory, not just because it's their job, but because this is the first 2017 Redline, they have had delivered and sold. So a moment to savour with the entire sales team outside circling our car lamenting the loss of Australian manufacturing. Okay moving on, I was determined to not have the excited little kid feeling, I honestly thought that the 5 months would have subdued all that. Well, apparently not, as soon as the start button was pushed, My Lord, this is our car? Finally? Like fair dinkum mate ours? Awesome, and of course I have read this forum for months now, about the first tentative kilometres on the road, with lesser, irresponsible, crazy drivers (jest).
The end result, I love looking at it, I love the sound, I loooovvveeeee driving it, this car has awesome theatre about it, also being well built, powerful, refined and packed with goodies (for the money) I can honestly say I am over the moon with our purchase well worth the wait, that throttle response.... Oh Man, here's some pics people, thanks for all the answered questions and queries over the last 6 months

Congratulations Redline 2017 and to all who just received their car, you guys sound like you either or are gobsmacked with your purchase. And reading your stories on delivery day makes me gobsmacked.

Just came across this news item about the final line broadcast sheets, they’re being folded and placed in the glovebox. If you want it be sure to communicate this with your dealer that you want to keep them so they don’t toss it away.

Thanks for sharing that initial new car excitement; I reckon there's about fifty people here (including yours truly) who really get it.

Enjoy
