I just received a note from the leasing company - the expected delivery date is now 11/12, due to a delay in shipping. Sheez... this is like a pregnancy!
I ordered a TDV6 SE in Chawton white, with side protection bars, active rear diff and rear A/C. I too could have taken possession much sooner had I wanted a Bonatti Grey without options - but that defeated the point of getting the car... so I wait.
As far as waiting until Feb because of rear diff - that sounds like a story to me! Then again, I might get strung along until then too - I should shut up now!
Cheers,
Rob
I should have shut up earlier - my delivery has now ben delayed until 20/12!
As I have a holiday trip from Sydney to Murwillumbah planned on 6/1, I hope there are no further delays.

good luck - but put your dealer on notice that if it does not turn up, you want him to supply a loaner for the trip.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Hi Folks,
I was wondering what wheels the MY07 would come with. I just noticed tonight, that the LRA web site has photos! It appears that the 18" wheels are new - for the SE (style 1) and TDV6 HSE (style 2). The 17" and 19" looks unchanged - or maybe they haven't updated the photos as of yet.
I also managed to get some old 18" style 1 wheels off eBay. I just need to find someone that wants to swap them for some 17" wheels.
Cheers,
Rob

If you go to LR USA site-> LR3 -> exterior, there is a image of the new TDV6 wheels. Hopefully some one can upload this image, I don't know how.

I had to take my daughter out for a drive last night - to try and get the required hours logged on her Learner's Permit, so decided to swing by my dealer. I got excited - seeing a new D3 SE TDV6 there... in Chawton white with new style 1 wheels and shiny interior bits... but unfortunately it had Tundra leather instead of Ebony like I ordered.
Just shows that new wheels have now made it to Australia and they do look better IMHO.
Cheers,
Rob

I got a note yesterday - delivery is delayed for the third time. Delivery date is now 29/12/06. Which means I can't show off my new toy to my family at Christmas and have to take 2 cars every time we need to go somewhere as a family (4 kids).

hope time does not catch up to you...!
Have they provided any plausible excuses for the delays?!Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

Hi Tristan,
Well - time has caught up with me, as I will have to take 2 cars down to Kiama on Christmas day.
The two excuses were "shipping delays" and the latest one is a "quarantine delay."
Well, time will tell if they were telling the truth this time.
Cheers,
Rob

I ordered mine in August ( with rear diff lock ) and was told to expect delivery in Feb 07. Had a phone call from the dealer last Wednesday to say the ship has docked in Sydney.
