My Hyundai i30 Hyper Silver SX 2.0L Manual has finally been picked up at 9am on 6th August 2009. I could not have been happier as it is the first time I’m buying myself a brand new car.
After picking her up which took about 40 minutes, I headed straight to uni as I had to get to a lecture at 11.30am. Since I had almost 1.5 hours to spare, I drove around campus to look for a spot to take some photos, but there wasn’t really a good spot unless I stop in the middle of the road or drive over the curb and park on some grass (but no, I don’t wanna do that on her first day out with me, lol).
Anyway, I finally found an okay place, so here’s some photos (do click to enlarge individually):
Very ashamed to be saying this, but I have stalled her like 8 times just today. I find that it’s such a smooth and quiet ride compared to my 1990 Nissan Pulsar and Supra, and the stick is still quite stiff, especially on the Reverse, 1st and 2nd gear. Or maybe I really do suck at driving manual? :/
All I can say now is that I LOVE the car. Best car I’ve owned!












Hey Ray!
You still own your i30? Shame you left the ownersclub
your photos are some of the best on there.
Take care.
Shambles.
Hey man,
Sorry about the sudden leave, and yes, I still own my i30
I do come back to read stuff up from time to time but never really had time to post anymore, so decided to leave. Maybe I may rejoin one day! Thanks for dropping by
Hmmm, I’d feel so self conscious driving this car. Don’t know why.
Though I’m glad you’re not after driving some nice cars before.
