Odometer reading 000262.
(VPower from
Shell @ Moore Park, NSW - $1.659 per litre)
Dealer handed over the car with just under half a tank of fuel. Will try to upload an image at each fill so I can track fuel economy.

Perfect little droplets.
Five hours of effort on Saturday morning applying the
GlarePlus stuff was worth it. Pefect beading despite a copius amount of road grime.

One DIY opportunity that I am NOT going to take!
Booked in for a professional installation tomorrow morning. I know Cam and Aaron would be screaming "WUSS!" right now, but I just can't afford to screw up the complex electronics in the car.

Very impressive workshop, too.

Great workshop.
George has done a top job at setting this place up. Spotlessly clean, well laid out and heaps of overhead lighting.
