I may not have much to contribute here as I'm not that mechanically minded, but having become a Soarer owner and a member of the forum I thought I should at least say hello.

So, “Hello”

I stumbled across this site by accident and it has been hugely helpful so far and doubtless will be even more so as time rolls on. I pity Soarer owners who don't know about this place. Thanks to the people who maintain and contribute to this site - you've already saved me some $$ and more importantly you've saved me from a heap of grief.

After 20 years of driving people movers, all but 1 of the little darlings have now left home so it was time to put the long suffering Tarago out to pasture and get a real car. I was fortunate to be able to babysit a Soarer for a month in 2004 and it impressed me a lot. My wife and I did a heap of research prior to buying and just kept coming back to the fact that provided you stay away from a neglected one you get an awful lot of car for your money with a Soarer, and even though they are 10+ years old now they still look and feel modern and lack for nothing feature wise. Couldn't argue. Bought one (three weeks ago). Loving it. My daily commute is up and down Mount Tamborine so you can perhaps imagine that compared to what I've been used to it is so, so nice to have a car that doesn't have to think about it. Bliss.

OK. That's enough. Cheers everyone.

Hahaa - well done - perfect choice Enjoy.

I gave my old V8 a few runs up and down Tambourine at Xmas time - she loved it. What a car

Shows how 'old' I must be if a young buck like yourself doesn't recognise the acronym. Back before I was old BOF stood for Boring Old Fart.

Actually I'm kinda tall and skinny.

Welcome Peter. You could not have picked a better place to own a soarer especially with Lew from Marlew Performance based here on the Gold Coast. He does all my repairs and many others on this forum (including 100k servicing)

Understood Peter, i was just having a go at you because nearly everyones over 40 here and us young bucks need to stand out, nothing personal.

Welcome once again, its nice to have another v8 owner to pick on

Brett,

Thanks for that. Good tip. I'll be contacting Marlew shortly and will mention your name.

Cihan,

No worries, and being picked on is one of my functions in life - as well as being old and boring I'm also married. Got the trifecta!
