Hello All - Newish Member and Owner, Australia

Hi there fellow Owners and Members,

This will be my first post on this forum after lurking around for a few weeks. I hadn't posted yet as I didn't have the new car and didn't want to jinx myself. A quick backstory is, I was looking into a new car in Oct 08. At the time I drove a new BMW 135 (hence forum name) and a 2004 M3. Also at the time we bought the wife a new BMW 120i (from a Mazda SP23). Unfortunately I had to have some extensive surgery, so my car was put on the back burner.

Then in March was looking again at a new car. By now I had heard and seen dome Youtube videos of the new 370Z, but being impatient I didn't want to wait (I thought it was going to be end of year before it came out). Still looked into the BMW 135 and drove a Z4M. Again the surgery reared it's ugly head and had to go back under the knife.

Now the good stuff. A few weeks ago the Minister of Finance gave to go ahead to look again. By now I had found this wonderful Forum (thanks AK, great job) and thanks to Ellz in the May 1st thread I headed off to Keema Nissan first. I must say great service and offered what I do consider a great deal, including the trade in on my MY04 STI. Now as a consumer I also checked in with Highway Nissan (big shout out and thanks to Rob Whyte and showed me what the car can actually do during the test drive). They also offered a great deal. Took that to Keema and they just couldn't quite match it. Plus the extras that Highway Nissan were able to add, that really sold me (you'll see them soon).

I originally though I wanted one in BLACK or that Bronze type colour. Then when at Highway Nissan I saw the Yellow one. Also seeing KillerBee's one on this forum I fell for the yellow. I picked it up yesterday and had a nice drive up Mt.Gravatt this morning for some pictures (Ellz should know that road).

Here are a couple of pics form yesterday. Will post my pics from this morning soon.
