Thanks all. very welcoming as I will probably be excommunicated from the Veloster site. no V no entry

I tried the auto braking detection system this morning on freeway, pretty awesome as cars slowed down in front of me from 100kph cruising altitude, i30 braked too, to maintain same speed as the car in front, and then increased back up to 100 in free air. foot was hovering nervously over the brake just in case

Dazzler does your Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) have combined indicator function? saw a few Aussie reviews for car before and it did. mine doesnt, maybe its a WA requirement

Yes, there is that! Glad we got to catch up again today. Hope you didn't mind me leaving relatively early. Had a good walk around Mandurah Forum (I like forums) then spoiled it all by having an enormous piece of rich cheesecake with my cappuccino!

Cheers all. It makes sense that the combined LED indicator & DRL are only on premium with LED headlights. Sadly couldn't afford premium. Anyway I do like the LED rear brake light clusters, they are so cool. Only done 79kms, itching to floor it but trying to be gentle running in engine. Also completely paranoid some idiot will ding the doors in car park. Even going in early to get the best widest parking bay. can I wrap whole car in bubble wrap, I would feel much safer

Sorry, I sent you an email earlier.

GDay, Crusty, congrats on the car and on joining. Someone's gotta keep those other gropers in line. Enjoy the gizmos.

Crustycottage · **Reply #19: July 18, 2017, 23:38:39**

I hope I pass the Dazzler i30 interview on Thursday, and he lets me join the group. Must do some revision and get my "I love i30s" tattoo re-inked

it's getting tougher and tougher to get in to these groups lately, credit checks,

Dazzler · **Reply #20: July 18, 2017, 23:59:33**

Love the sense of humour Scott! I think we'll get on just fine! I was a bit worried about you actually, only crusty person I've met before was my first Mother-in-law. .. She was pretty "crusty"..

I'm sure you'll be fine.

I only hope that the initiation process goes well for you.

It can be tough for first timers.
When you meet Dazz for the first time, he's hard to miss.
Just keep an eye out for a huge, scary bikie type dude with shaved head and lots of tattoos.
When you see him, Dazz will be the one standing behind that guy.

Sorry I can't be there too, but flying out Friday so Thursday will be busy.
Have a great meet guys.

Hi Crustycottage

Crustycottage · **Reply #23: July 20, 2017, 08:19:11**

I survived the interview process. imagine a scene from the Godfather or Meet the Fockers Lie detector with De Niro & Ben Stiller ..

Dazzler or El Presidente is a very sound guy, welcomed me to the club, and I think/hope he gets my pommie sense of humour.

Util the next time when I'm back in Tassie hunting wabbits

Crusty a humbled new i30 owner

Dazzler · **Reply #25: July 20, 2017, 12:17:03**

Yes, an enjoyable catch up thanks Scott, even though you were 14 minutes and 37 seconds late (not that I was counting) I didn't have a problem, but I think some of the blokes I was checking out in case they were you might have..

Love that Blue (same as Tim's) Was good to compare notes. Now you've pointed out about those front indicators I'll have to investigate the cost of an upgrade on those!

The cheap lunch earned you extra brownie points $13.50 with a coffee. Cheap even by Tassie standards.
