Newbie from Central Coast

Postby TheSilverSurfer on Thu Sep 21, 2017 7:39 am

Hi all,

I've gone and ordered my first ute which is due next week. It's a new GLX+ coming with a canopy and roof racks which will help with lugging surfcraft to the beach on the weekends.

My car history has mainly been performance cars lately so it'll be different getting back into a fourbee. Recent highlights include a couple of Porsche 924 Turbos, some MX5's, a little 6R Polo GTI and my last car which was a tuned BMW 335i that went like poop off a shovel and was also rated to tow 1,800kgs braked.

I'm looking forward to not having to take speedhumps quite so slowly. I'm also looking forward to doing a bit more bush camping.

Anyways, hi and look forward to chatting with youse all.

Welcome along, Paul.

I think you'll find the speed humps just get commensurately bigger. When you can't see what's on the other side your choice is to crawl, or get her airborne. ;)

If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay us to do it?

Nah mate, Tuggerah straight is bugger all from home, but I wound up getting it from Klosters in Newey. Last time I bought a car from another dealer on Tuggerah straight I was promised 4 new tyres and got 4 different sized used tyres. I give the place a wide berth unless i'm going to Supercheap of BCF.

Booths are a dealer with honesty and integrity...the service manager and spares managers have been at booths for decades...and are very approachable by phone and in person to ask questions even though I do my work myself thanks to this forum and the headTriton workshop tech did his apprenticeship 60 is years ago..
