On Friday I was actually within 100 metres of 3 M's ( the 2 dealers here are 
only 5 doors apart) so I can claim to have actually have seen one (demo not 
for sale at the boutique) and each dealer had one awaiting customer pick up. 
Oz actually only got these first ones two months after USA, Europe, Japan 
and probably Outer Mongolia for all I know. I suppose that means they are 
post strap lug fault production. This is getting old waiting though. My 
original order was six months ago.

Cheers,
Geoff
