Did the paperwork yesterday and ordered my new 159 JTS 2.2 Ti.  Take delivery in just over two weeks.  Time is going to crawl.

Congratulations Maddia.
It should be worth the wait.
Its great to see the numbers of 159's increasing on our roads.

You first challenge as a new owner is to discover how to switch on 'night mode' instrument display.  Let me know how you get on.  ;)

Cheers,

Marco.

Great news!  Join the Club and/or come along to a club night or one of our drives.

The next run (Early Morning Run) is on the 5th October which will be to Reefton, and a couple of weeks later there is a run to  Tatong Pub - near Benalla.

Details on the home page.

Enjoy.

Love to join the drive, however as I live in Mackay, North Queensland, it might not be just a day trip  ;D  However as we ran our last new car ( Peugeot 307CC) to Tassie and back, 7500Km in 3 weeks, I guess anything is possible.

Thanks for the invite though.

Picked up the car Friday.  Had a nice drive back from Townsville to Mackay.  Very impressed with the comfort even on 19" wheels.
