• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

Well it was two years ago to the day that the first few people picked up the first delivered Stingers to Australia. I knew of 3 people all in different states. An early member @Sting told me he was the first of the first. He has/had a Hi chroma red Gt.

My vehicle is a 10/17 build so happy second Birthday.
 
" Happy Birthday " to all Aussie Stingers ( well, the first ones anyway )

Happy 2nd Birthday to you , Ozstung's Stinger..:laugh::rofl:, I signed the contract on 02-Nov-2017, could of had a Ceramic Grey within a week, but I not only wanted Deep Chroma Blue, but it had to be built in January 2018, it was the 02-Mar-2018 when I picked up my Stinger , exactly 4 months to the date I signed the contract, it was worth the wait. I am sure Ozstung you remember, I believe forum member @Richard from Tasmania may have been one of those first owners , and first owner in Tasmania , he chose a Deep Chroma Blue.

Yes I do remember Richard the 2 metre + tall paramedic from Tassie. His had RNL. Like so many early forum guys he left early. Do you remember @Madman? He got an early DCB to. Then before me @Tazztattoo and @Marco-Oz . O think I'm member number #283 out of 9,000.
Shame about our colleague Av8r.

Yes, it is sad about AV8R, I joined originally in Nov 2017 in a different username, then changed it to DCBStingerGT in Dec 2017 , AV8R didn't remember my first username , do you remember a MelbourneStinger back in late 2017 ? That was me when I first joined up.

Yeah come to think of it I do. I also remember around that time being really clumsy because I use a mobile on the forum I was trying to use social media badly and kept accidentally hitting the disagree or one of the discontinued buttons. I may have accidentally offended you back then:laugh:. It was a complete accident:rofl::laugh:.
 
Happy birthday to you all. I am just a newborn.
 
Happy 2nd B Day ! We got our first delivery of Gts in Canada about 6 weeks later , I received mine in the first shipment on November 29th

Hi Guys, It’s been a while. Sorry I haven’t been on as often as I’d like. Yes, it was 2 years ago today! I got to drive out of the showroom for the first time and can still remember the excitement. I still have it, and still loving it. Happy Birthday to them all.
 
Mine just had it’s September 1st birthday. No cake though.

Hi there @Marco-Oz , nice to see you here , mine is abit younger...so too speak, built in January 2018, picked it up in March 2018, but I waited 4 months for it.
I am sure you should remember me stalking you at the petrol station that day..:laugh::rofl:, and we had a lengthy chat there at the petrol pumps, hope to see you again someday , can't forget the way your Snow White Pearl paintwork sparkles like Diamonds, awesome colour.

Was great to see you, just needed to see that beast of yours too out in the wild away from the covers, lol.
Always out and about and definitely hoping to catch up again.

Mine's a March '18 build, while to go before I hit the "terrible twos"...

Happy birthday! I've just reached 1 month with my Silky Silver and am yet to clock up 1000km. Love the car - and I'm already looking forward to my next one and wondering what more KIA could possibly add at the mid-life facelift. :thumbup:

2 years nice.
Some lucky person got the only red with red interior in the country. So a super rare order!
This was my pre-order but subsequently cancelled when I received the contract circa $67k ... which at the time I thought "wtf".
But glad to be in back in the fold with y'all. Love my Stinger... red with black int though.

Yes I do recall that, I've forgotten their name now.
Originally I tried to order the white leather (grey) but It wasn't an option here. In the states it was available with their Atomic blue colour. (Micro blue)

I didn’t know red interior with the Hichroma red was avail. It wasn’t when I ordered mine.
