I sat here once again hoping my car arrives very soon, so that I can do something with it!
Arrived Port of Halifax July 2, waiting for the train to cross the country!

Today i woke up to see my passenger side front tire was completely deflated. Thats the second time its happened o the same tire in the first 11 months of ownership.

I took it down to the pirelli garage and they checked it to find no leak, and no explanation as to why the tire deflated. The first time there was a puncture with two intertwined screws, this time nothing.

So i filled it up and went to work, late.

It could be a slight bend in the wheel.

Sometimes if there is a minor bend it will be tough to see and will hold air until you park with that bend stopped at just the right part of the wheel (the bottom?). The weight of the car puts enough stress on the tire's seal to the wheel at the bend to allow a slow leak.

Since I've been on the forum I've really liked seeing these wheels on various cars so when the opportunity came up I snagged these listed on Suncoast's web site. They are take offs with less then 40 miles on them. Compared to new, they were priced right. Since I drive many miles it will be nice to have a set of wheels and tires in waiting. Plus when the time comes and if they make the tire size needed do an all-season set of wheels for the colder months.

Took the rear interior panel off and plugged up the "symposer" tube with insulation. Now, there is less intake noise piped into the interior.

Today I drove from Stuttgart to the Dolomites in Italy and had a blast at Passo di Gardena. European Delivery is great!

Such nice photos and a great reminder of our ED in April. Don't be lazy like me, do a great thread like VIC_50.

I didn't check but I believe my prediction was July 24. Hope you get it before the LW.

It's looking less than likely - left Halifax only today!!
How are you making out with the Cab?

Had a set of TechArt paddle shifters installed on my MF wheel. The tech told me they were a little fiddly to get the front covers installed. Work great, very positive engagement, and look fine. For me they are a lot better to use then the buttons.

I had a friend who did the Techart paddles and I agree they are great addition. On his car I Plasti-Dipped the paddles satin black and they closely match the steering wheel color and texture. It looks great and now further highlights the new paddles.

Enjoy your new shifters!

What was the cost of doing that?

Also, when installed, are the buttons disabled? I wish there was an option to temporarily disable the buttons.
