    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    My son and I took our Redline up to Cromwell at the weekend they have a breakfast and track laps at the Highlands Motorsports Park every third Sunday of the month. We were one of the last to arrive and ended up in the last group to do the circuit there were only 4 of us behind the safety car...

    Thanks, yes certainly the colour changes in different light conditions. According to the dealer there were only 10 LMF that came over to NZ. Don't quote me on that but makes her a bit more exclusive over here !!

    Thanks, she's a beauty!! I use Mothers carnuba in the solid wax form gives the paint a really deep lustrous shine. I guess the disadvantage of wax is you do do need to keep applying it I generally do my cars every six months

    Yes nice knowing she's all tucked up inside! The salesman was more than happy to have her sitting in pride of place in the showroom for a few days. It's the first LMF they have had and have been getting lots of positive feedback back about the colour!!

    Yes I appreciate you cannot expect no damage from stones, just wondered if the bonnet protector would keep some of the smaller stones away. It's another two hundred and something dollars but maybe give a bit longer before needing touched up. Opinions seem divided on the net as to there...

    Yes,we have the issue of Australia being a small Island off the coast of New Zealand so a strip of water to negotiate rather than just over a border line !! This does create delivery difficulties but I'm sure the wait will be worth it !!

    Hmmm, not what I expected,the bonnet stripe is solid without the pinstripe between. And no side decals. Thanks for pics. Hmmm, not sure, the bonnet stripe is solid without the pinstripe between. I'm not getting the black roof probably be a bit much with racing stripes as well.

    Does anyone have a pic of a LMF with the race decals including the bonnet? I've ordered ours with them much to my wife's disgust!! Thinks we will look too much like boy racers !! My sons think they are cool

    Cheers..... not too sure about the reference to sheep!! Lol but taken in context I agree you won't catch me with an SUV !! It's either a car or a ute.

    Thanks Malleeboy. This will be the first time I've bought a vehicle and never taken it for a test drive. Sat in one straight off the boat with all the plastic still on and covered in dust and dirt from shipping and transport to the dealer.
