i know.. just playing!
just that usually happens. when its listed, and someones interested, they take it down straight away.

well we needed more Galants, as Leggies seem to be the most popular at our meets. (leggies dominate)

Well there goes the neighbourhood.................looks like they will sell these to just any Tom, Dixon or Jeremy.............ha ha

Really great news ..........think you got a great car there and possibly the very last VR4 imported before the government shut the door on any more........./Grrr

Scott seems to be doing everything he can to ease the pain of the transfer as well. All good then.

And welcome to the exclusive Galant club within THE club ........:pimp2: :scholar: /rally

Can't have these Legnum owners getting ideas above there place in the Club. They are ONLY Legnums after all, just a dime a dozen and as common as muck.

You're wrong there. A legnum is a true sports wagon, with a marketing profile tailored to active people needing space to a haul all the stuff they need for their busy and outdoor oriented lives. Whereas a Galant is an executive car for business types. While legnum owners are typically all out skiing, surfing and mountain biking, Galant owners are balancing spreasheets at the office, *yawn*...

NO, we have this vehicle (galant) stored in our garages ready for the special ocassions to show our club bros. :happy: :happy:

It's not for every day use, not for going to the supermarket :speechles :speechles

Hardly, am just pointing out the obvious superiority of the legnum - "sports wagon", vs the "business barge" galant. ;-)

Legnums are better, they made quite a few more times as many Legnum VR-4's as Galants. Figures don't lie!!

Astons and echoes are not in the same price range and hardly comoparable. It stands to reason though that most people shopping for a VR-4 would look at both galants and legnums and then select legnums because they are so much better.

They are definitely better at wrapping around power poles.

Stop arguing fools, you know you need to have a Galant AND a Legnum to be cool.

I think you should just come over this weekend and strip your legnum rather than let a car yard strip it, if you need a hand.

otherwise you'll be stuck with your old ECU when they swap your one from the new car.....

I am pretty happy, hopefully the car is all buffed and touched up on friday :)

I think I have been volunteered to drive ness up to Levin on sunday for lunch with friends, so I think sunday will be out... Though we could possibly do a friday evening meet up and test the HID's out /rally

Oh and mum thinks im crazy - though she is happy as her SX4's plate is later than mine... "EKS" for me and "EKW" for her..... /pan
