Brunty, in that photo, KiwiTT is closest to the camera with the hat on.

Kenneth is just behind him with the black tshirt. Mpau009 is at the back in the light tan coloured tshirt. The guy standing next to him is his mate (I think)

In the front row, next to KiwiTT is someone I can't quite remember, MBN has the blue hat on, then Dreamer is the guy with the shaved head. The guy to his left is his mate Jono, and the guy behind that is my mate David.

In my picture number 1660 with Xeriods car in the foreground, Dickytim is on the left, then Kenneth. Dreamer is there again too. I'm not too sure who the guy is in the background. Xeriod has the red hat on, and Ground Control is looking at the map with him. You See has the black hat on in the background.

In Xeriods picture number 17, I can't remember the guy in the red shirt sorry, in the foreground is kiwistorms wife, then I think it is mpau's friend. Kiwistorm has the yellow shirt on at the right of the photo, and that is his car in the middle of the phot with the white mags. The lady with the white skirt on is Dickytims girlfriend. I'm wearing the grey shirt just in front of her, and my mate David is just behind me with the hat on. Dreamer is talking to Kenneth. Ground Control has the loaded hog shirt on, and KiwiTT has the hat on. The guy with the blue shirt and hat on might be Kenneths brother, sorry I can't quite remember.

As a side note, Xeriods car has to be the best looking Legnum I have ever seen. Excluding the mags it is 100% stock, and it looks so beautiful in that colour.

I have to agree that Xeroids leggie looks superb... that colour is fantastic in the sunshine...

Brunty, I hope you are not too sad about not grabbing that Adams Brothers one.. Hows ciderisgrs8 getting on I wonder????

Not at all - I'm glad someones enjoying it, it seems almost criminal to me that these cars (even at £13k) can sit on the dealer forecourts for so long:(

The Legnum ain't quite stock, its got a 4.5" pipe from the cat back to the new muffler I got them to put on when I bought cos the old one was (a) TOO noisy and (b) spitting it's guts out through the outlet. And a dodgey pod filter down in the engine bay, soon to be remodified somehow.

Apparently it had adjusties, turbo timer, external BOV and some other goodies when it arrived but they were all removed, new suspension all round, new front rotors and pads ( cheapo ) and resprayed front skirt.
Interior has Recaro's ( factory - awesome to drive in ), factory tints and Momo wheel.

Our pet mechanic did the AYC and Brake fluid when I got it and gave it the big once over and then it went off for tyre balance and alignment so pretty ok for now although 2 tyres are slightly out of round, still on the Jap Dunlops. Eagles to come later.

Also replaced the Jap sounds with a decent Alpine headunit and put in a good alarm system.

After our little high speed excursion to Piha the motor is running much happier, burnt all the city gunk out and she is singing. The pair of us are very happy at present, cruzin to work with windows down and Coldplay thumping out.

correction the best driving album is one that makes you wanna drive faster.....

I disagree! - You should already be going as fast as your car can handle

Driving music should relax you and allow you to stay focused. It should also be of a volume that you can hear the engine revving itsself to a premature death while also being able to hear and feel the telltale signs that your tyres are going off as they slide at the limits of their traction.

hehe course im a geek... i am a software programmer!

I dont quite have that preference in music, I usually listen to something a bit more modern, its just at a moderate level and usualy not too agressive. :D

Xeroid

23-02-2006, 09:25 AM

I can tell when the tyres are going off by the feeling in my 4r$e as the back starts getting jittery and when I can hear the turbs over the music then I know they're working properly. I know when the brakes are cooked by the gentle smell wafting in and burning my nostril hairs off. My ears don't work anyway LOL

They don't call it 'seat of your pants driving' for nothing.

Drove a couple of Dale Perries EVO's on Robbies Loop a year or so back and you can feel each wheel hitting the road you are strapped in so tight and the seats are so thinly padded. Mmmmmmm ...fun !!!!!!!
