Feeler: Date for first Melbourne gtg?

I thought it would be nice to organise a gtg once a few of us have picked up our 1. Question is, how many in Melb have already picked up their cars and how many is coming soon? I think at the moment only Dodgy and I have our cars, and Ronnie is picking it up some time this week. When is everyone else picking up their cars?

HI Way,

I mentioned this in the other thread but no replies, so i guess not many have them yet.

Not going to have my wheels by Aug/sept, but I'll come along with the TT to a meetup photoshoot.

Surely you'll have a new car by then Way?

da Qship arrived about an hour ago! Good headlights!. As I only live about 500 metres from the dealer I will wait till tomorrow to give it a good drive. As it was a demo it is pretty much run in. Given that most dealers are only selling 2-3 a month there will not be a lot of people to get together!

Cool, looks like if we do late July/Early August, we will have a few. Or if we wait another month after that, we will have another 2 or 3...what do you guys reckon? Should we do a massive one and try to get those in Sydney to meet up too?

As long as it doesn't clash with footy finals, anytime is fine. :biggrin:

Sorry, no idrive. Money to be spent elsewhere at a later date.:wink:

But my portable sat nav with maps dated Nov 2007 does not have it. I guess there will be a lot of people seeking updates for their GPS systems. The system in my Subaru does not have it either.

EastLink is on the current iDrive disc.

Curiously, when I was playing around with it navigating from Kew to Ringwood, it did not choose it as a route, despite the road being visible on the map.

I may have had it set to "Avoid Tolls" inadvertently though. It'd be impressive if somehow the GPS know not to activate it as a route until it opens. Or is that what happens? :iono:
