Well the time is near! My dealer just called and said I can pick up my 135i COB tomorrow.

Just a quick question, what type of wax do most of you use on your car (if any)?

CT135 · 04-01-2009, 01:49 AM

Lucky man ... mine is due in Freo tomorrow. Still a few weeks to go ...
I use Meguiars NXT 2.0 wax on my Liberty. It gives a good finish and lasts a few weeks.

How exciting! I love that feeling when you drive out of the dealership for the first time in your new car. Have fun.

sparoz · 04-01-2009, 02:23 AM

Congratulations!!! I am thinking about investing in a jar of Swissovax or multilayer Zaino. I am going to use the money that I was going to spend on the paint protection on a random orbital sander to help

.

BBK · 04-01-2009, 02:57 AM

Ohhhh congrats! I am getting a little worried that my car will be ready soon but I haven't sold the Mini yet so I won't be able to pick it up :-(

sparoz · 04-01-2009, 03:30 AM

yes.. talking about it... I need to sell two cars... otherwise I would be faced with a trade...

Binstar · 04-01-2009, 05:10 AM

I'm going to treat my new 135 I got on Tuesday with the ultimate Zaino pack tomorrow, also have the armorall brake dust spray.

Zuzu · 04-01-2009, 05:43 AM

Congrats too!

now... i wonder what i will be doing tonight...

takahashi · 04-01-2009, 06:47 PM

I really want to take my 135i. But if the RBA drop the interest rate again... I don't mind either.

But I do want the car now.... so jealous.

yeah, pretty cool hey i didn't know either! I think it's mostly to minimise drag / increase fuel efficiency

CT135 · 04-02-2009, 05:32 AM

so where are the pics?????

Tj303 · 04-02-2009, 07:54 AM

it's getting late so i'll keep it short... got the car, very happy with it! Drove just over 100km since about 6pm... haven't had a chance to get some good pics yet cos weather is rainy etc. So these quick ones from my garage will have to do for now, i should have some better ones by the end of the weekend + getting my personalised plates on

Sprey · 04-02-2009, 04:18 PM

Congratulations Tj303!

That's a clean garage! Did you specially get it ready for your new car or something?

'fatboy' · 04-02-2009, 04:54 PM

All I'm going to say is this: 'I love this car'

sorry about the car phone pic (too busy driving it after work to take photos)
