The 05 model proved a complete success but has grown beyond original expectations and we have reports it leaks some sort of liquid from somewhere underneath and also some disturbing reports of a foul odour eminating from behind evident to anyone following. Also, the occassional report of some leaking up top consisting of some type of clear fluid. Taking these reports into consideration we felt it was time to introduce the 06 model.
We looked at the original model and our design team formulated ways the concept could be improved. They have assured me the leaking fluid was a design fault as was the foul odour that could be detected from time to time and the clear liquid leak from up top. All of these issues I am advised should have been taken care of with this release. Of course the design team and indeed the whole organisation felt it wouldnt be right to simply release an update model and decided to release a new model. So you can look forward to an all new model with updated and refreshed body. The 05 model featured a more tough and rugid appearance whilst the new 06 model has been toned down somewhat to fit in with the more feminine crowd. There will be an upcoming press release with further details but you can find below a picture of the 06 model with current working title or Rochelle Erin.  A prototype has been made and early testing shows the concern over the leaking from various locations may have been warrented as the new model seems to exhibit similar characteristics. Further testing will be needed to eliminate this issue from future models. - Baby Girl, 3260 grams, 56cm long. Mother and baby are both doing well.

Congratulations to both yourself, the missus, and of course her little brother CJ. Here's hoping Rochelle Erin grows up & doesn't give you guys tooo much grief.(or mean you need to sell the GT to finance her wedding!!!)
I have no doubt her Uncle, Aunt, and crash test dummy of a cousin will be there to keep her in check. |

Congratulations with the delivery of the new '06 model. I think this will cater well to the market forces.

Congratulations on the new 06 version. Unfortunately as most of us know the design faults are rarely totaly fixed in an updated model. Sure a new skin and underpinnings make for a different feel but eventually some of the old traits rear their ugly head (figuratively speaking of course ). Enjoy the new model and take care of it as if it were your family and it will look after you with years of trouble free service.
