The official I have ordered/received my new Scirocco thread

[Scratchyratface]

Geez that's a great deal, doesn't look like we'll see another Scirocco for a long time either with VW's cull of models post Diesel scandal. That's a shame because there is a distinct lack of interesting cars for around the $50k mark. I don't want an SUV but all manufacturers are jumping on the popularity of them and unfortunately it leaves me a bit short on what to trade the Rocco in for. Maybe Blue103TDIDSG is right and I should just trade in the Roc for a new one

[Tobes_WIR35]

Tesla Model 3?

[Scratchyratface]

yeah absolutely, have been keeping one eye on that. By the time the Tesla hits Oz then it might be time to trade
For now I have booked a full paint correction for the Rocco just as a treat.

[Tobes_WIR35]

If you want one you better order it now! I was going to put down my $2000 in April but unforseen house expenses put an end to that dream. It's going to be a 2-3 year waiting list if you order one now!
I went to the Tesla factory 2 years ago as a former colleague is an electrical engineer there. Took a Model S P85 for a thrash on the Sunday deserted San Francisco freeways - holy smokes those things move rapidly!

Just signed on the dotted line for a 2016 MY16 demo in Rising Blue for $41k on the road. Just have to finalise the finance & insurance and should be in the drive by Easter

Plans? Stage 1 tune and DSG software will no doubt come in the not too distant future

Congrats Damien! Can't wait for the build thread!

Adam, I don't want to disappoint you but I think this one may be quite short. It's a really nice car stock and a couple of small tweaks should be all it needs.

And wife actually likes the Cadiz wheels.

Picked up the Rocco today.

Now the carport is complete:





Only problem is the wife now wants to swap cars.... lol

Congrats on the new Rocco mate

[tigger73]

Thanks Lucas I'm really happy with the car. I would have liked the leather seat option but had been warned off them as they can get really hot in summer.

It's a great car to drive - maybe not the easiest to get in and out of but small sacrifices must be made

[Blue103TDIDSG]

Congrats on the car

It's a great car to drive

Totally agree
Had mine almost 18 months - an MY16 too, now with 8500kms on it and loving ever one of them

maybe not the easiest to get in and out of

Agree again although you do get used to it - and I'm an old fart
The long doors are my greatest problem with limited space in the garage
No problem in car parks as it has never and will never be in one

My greatest fear is that it gets stolen or written off (by someone else) and can't be replaced
