Today, I had my Euro in for 30000km service at Austral Honda (Newstead, Brisbane). This is the first time my euro has ever serviced there. I was so impressed with the whole experience. People are friendly, their work shop is huge and modern. There is no steep bump up to the driveway like the one at Highway Honda. They also do a very thorough wash and window clean (both in and outside), unlike some other place only do a quick 5 minutes spray and wipe.

With regard to the ongoing occasional rattling noice from driver's door penal which has annoyed me for quite a while. I showed them the print-out of work/ractification that have carried out at previoius dealer. They said the only noise they can hear is creak from window rubber, so they cleaned and selicon lubricated the window rubbers. I will see how it goes tomorrow when I travel to Gatton ( got some rough bitumen there).

overall, I am very satisfied with today's experience at Austral Honda. It will be even better if they can provide Free service loan car. (Highway Honda does provide me loan car coz i bought my car there)

While I was waiting there, I took the opportunity to test drive the 05 Euro Lux. 17" feels only slightly firmer on road. The friendly young sales rep(Brenton Hebrard) told me: with normal day to day driving, you wont be able to feel much difference, but only when you corner hard. The car we test drove today is a brand new car (not demo), so I dont want to ruin its tyres by cornering too hard. They also have a Milano Red Euro there, man... it looks so racey hot.
