Hi ya,
Newbie here, I've been lurking for a wee while now - just haven't really had the time to get a post or two under my belt.
Currently living in cold cold Dunedin, NZ. Having just shifted here from Auckland a couple of months ago. Never really been a fan of Mitzi's until I jumped into a fello workmate's (in Auckland) VR4 (I owned the Sub Legacy 2.0 GT T/T) and then when I got down here needed a new car so went looking for a Legnum.
I was specifically after either the VR4 if I could find a nice one locally, but eventually had to settle for an ST-R as the VR4's for sale down here are either high km's, overpriced, thrashed or just nasty.
Apart from lots of motorbikes, I have previously owned:
Torana LJ
Torana LJ GTR
Bedford Van
Mazda Familia
Old school Mitzi lancer
Kia Sportage
V3000 wagon
Toyota Hilux (2ltr - lift kit etc etc)
BMW 535i
Toyota Estima
Toyota Camry
Toyota Hilux Surf
Subbie Legacy GT 2.0 T/T
I'm pretty sure there were a few more in there - but obviously didn't leave an impression on me as to keeping it in the memory banks.
I am really enjoying the Legnum, although I find it quite revvy/noisy and it sucks the gas more than the Legacy (but no where near as much as the 535!)..
I'm also a little disappointed that I couldn't find a halfway decent VR4 down here, but on the bright side, I had to chuck a towbar on the ST-R and that would have ruined the look of the VR4 - plus with two little kiddies, they are bound to destroy the inside of the car anyway.... Might just have to save up some $$ and trade the old Surf in at a later date eh ;)
ta for the great resource,
birdy
