    Today is the day (on train to go get in now) got call yesterday from dealer that it was ready, except the illumination kit which is on backer order. Asked if I wanted to pick it up and get that installed later (like I was going to say no)

    Thanks for everyone's help (especially Rob) preying everything will be smooth with delivery, pics this afternoon, tomorrow morning for the Americans on here (unless I get engrossed driving & the mighty blues are playing this evening as well!)

    NAB Cup Grand Final (Lets hope it doesn't go the same way as last time)

    I know I promised photos last week, but I have been driving everywhere. Will do it today, if it doesn't rain (not looking good at the moment). Car had 20km on it at delivery (up to 220km now), I absolutely love it! Been using all the techniques I have been reading about here. I have been on the eco score page, and I have been getting high starts and cruises, but terrible stop, so I need more work. Thankfully it was off the boat that arrived a few weeks ago and was manufactured in January, so it is 2013 plated (that boat that came in was the first to Aus with 2013 built cars)

    So after pickup I went for a drive, it was my third or 4 start and got 3.9l /100km (60mpg), which is the advertised, so I was thrilled. But my favourite was yesterday morning. We had the state election, I went to the polling place at around 8am, its only 1km away and all down hill, no1 was around so I just crawled as slow as I could, managed to get there without the ICE turning on!!! So I got 0.0L/100km.

    I've been promising photos of the inside of mine but it never happens... always end up driving it instead. Maybe today's the day... camera is in the car and I cleaned it yesterday. :)

    When you get around to it, I'll be interested if yours is like the 2013 US models and gets jump start terminals under the bonnet, or if its the same as us "originals" where we have to directly access the battery (under the rear seat, behind a panel on the right).
