Welcome Ian

I'm in Northern Tassie and one of the co-founders of the site In May 2008. We've had four i30's although the closest we have at the moment is a 2019 Active Kona which I call a hi 30.

Mind you I'm currently considering an 8 speed DCT i30N fastback as our next car.

Enjoy the site.

Hi Ian

I'd give you a

but seeing as you've been here almost 3 years you're already an "old boy"

Thanks Shambles, I did join the club 3 years ago but had nothing to say or ask. Lol.

Trust Steve to pick that up.. I'm like a bull at a gate. A classic case of Assume = making an "ass" out of "u" and "me" as Benny Hill once said.

It seems that my I30 is a Kangaroo magnet! The first hit was at about 15,000km, head on. It took out the front plastics. Second hit was at 36,000km two days ago as a side swipe. Minor damage to two doors. The Insurance company said, "You hit a Kangaroo again". I said, no. A Kangaroo hit me again!
