Newbie here, and proud owner

by v6bob » Sat Oct 02, 2010 7:38 pm

Hi everyone, got myself a nice v6 in north cape from a member on here, spent most of the day with the meguairs and giving it a good going over 8)
Absolutely loving the sound of the v6 and the roar of the ind kit :D
My only gripe is the temp gauge seems to fluctuate a bit, had a steady tootle about this afto and every time i stopped in traffic it seemed to shoot up rather quickly, luckily the fans are kicking in at about 100degrees then it goes back down to about 90ish when moving...... maybe this is normal, maybe its an airlock.
Also got waved by another owner while out and about :)
