yet another newbie saying hello

[strapping young lad]

erm hello!

just joined fully recently and paid up too! :)

glad to be able to find a galant site which isnt american.

i dont have a vr4 hence my scepticism at not joining earlier bur was told its not just for the vr4 beasties... so here i am

i have a 99 v6 24v galant saloon in rohan red (spelt right?)

[Nick Mann]

Welcome!

The Vee has just that model and he is on the committee, so you can be assured we do cater for cars other than the VR4. This weekend, The Vee will be mostly at the Nurburgring! Probably showing the VR4's how to do it!!

Hope you enjoy your stay.

[strapping young lad]

[strapping young lad]

i have in work

by some arse of a 20yr old with an astra

dont ask me what the back of the car looks like cos he dont go further than my rear view mirror ;)

[ANTHONY]

Yes, had this with all three of my Galants /grr - And the end result was usually the same :thumbsup:

[strapping young lad]

lol

not sure how it can look like an old man's car though compared to an astra bog standard

you dont see many old men driving a galant, and my colleague owns a 1998 Audi S8 (now that is QUICK!) and he gets the same accusation.

common factor.. performance cars, saloons, uncommon, breeders of jealousy! ;)

on ebay now thinking bout ralliart oil caps and ralliart stickers... hmmmm

Kieran has a 1974 wheelskate (well its a Galant really, but its SMALL!)

[Paul Beazer]

Welcome, i dont have a VR4 either (wish i did), but my V6 Sport is just dandy for me! :smug:
Is your name anything to do with a metal band of the same name at all?

[Kieran]

Kieran has a 1974 wheelskate (well its a Galant really, but its SMALL!)

It's not THAT small!! - takes up about the same floor area as an older ford escort (the Mk.3 or Mk4).

But it's the oldest in the club - And, simply through being a 70's pillarless coupe, it's also the coolest! :smug:

[strapping young lad]

yeh i am a big fan of devin townsend and his work, hence my nick on here (as is on many other forums)

most of the cd's in the galant are either SYL or devin's other projects, wife does not like it one bit!

:happy: Bonus! so when people ask me how old mine is (i've private plated it) I can tell them the year with pride and point out it's definitely not the oldest in Nottingham :2thumbsup

[richy rich]

welcome to u all
looking like what some peaple think is an old mans car, is why it is so cool when we can kill there cars with a small push on the go ped

[Brunty]

^This and your username made me think you were a young whippersnapper being picked on for having a 'grown-ups' car. A quick bit of research shows that you're in your thirties - and therefore shouldn't be bothered about these things, you got a great car regardless of your age :2thumbsup

There is an old mans car in the Galant range it's the one with the extra load space. /STP

/grr

[strapping young lad]

lmfao!

you must admit though that the model with the bigger bum doesnt look as bad as the majority of big bum cars out there.

one of the worst ive seen is the corolla estate (there is one in work) jeez thats got a serious case of the uglies.

[Paul Beazer]

Oi watch it, im not an old man. Dont beat on the legups!

[strapping young lad]

but young at heart :)

[Wodjno]

Welcome to the Club.. :thumbsup:

Thats a nice looking car you have there .. /yes

[strapping young lad]
