What a day, picked up the Dark Horse this morning from Auto Protective in Brisbane (Josh and the team did a superb job) and started the 1000km trip up the Bruce home....didn't quite make home tonight as I didn't get out of Brisbane till just before lunch, and not driving in the dark up here with the over sized grasshoppers ...but what have I learnt today:
1. The car is so much lower with transport stops out....make sure the dealer does this
2. Make sure the dealer fits the under body strakes (mine were in the wheel well, need to find someone with ramps when I get home)
3. The ppf on blue ember makes it strike even more
4. Track mode on start up is stupid loud (apologized for scaring the old couple in the van that pulled up beside for lunch at Childers)
5. Drove for 8hrs on the Bruce, am not tired, no cramped hands or arms, no sore back and legs.
6. Rough roads and potholes no issues so far
7. Where have ventilated seats been all my life
8. Yes there was some fiddling around at the start with the dash, but after 8 hrs, phone calls, music, changing modes and changing AC settings, it is not that bad
9. There is a black pony in the passenger side of windscreen...noticed it when I turned wipers on driving through a storm
10. Had some problems getting mirrors where I want them....took a couple stops to sort out.
11. Can't complain about fuel economy....10l/100km, including an hour driving round Brisbane
12. Flow brackets worked a treat and fit perfectly
Other things that I am interested in hearing from everyone else....thought the bonnet was not closed...it is, just lifts badly when trucks go past at 100, and central console got quite warm after continuous driving, but to be expected I guess
