The Future

[Big Ian]

after many,many thought's about VR4 ownership i have now came to a decision :2thumbsup
I'M KEEPING WHAT IVE GOT! :smitten:
-------------------------------------
but :) something's are going to change with my car? (yip there's room for improvment)
first i'm adding better stop'n power /yes ..then full adjustable suspension and a set of 18'z
ive got a pretty quick car as it is and i do most of my driving on busy road's so with this in mind i can't justify owning a 150mph+ car :sad3: .....i have thought about changing for a V6-sport but why change to a car that's almost exact to what i have?:rolleyes4

so look's like i'll be hangin around the "none VR4 section" for a while :2thumbsup

Totally respect you're decision Ian, and can totally understand you're justification for making such a choice. If you're happy with what you have why not keep the cash (and keep the wife happy) !

[HJM]

Good for you Ian - you obviously love that car, so why change it :2thumbsup

[KiwiTT]

I can fully understand ... I had the same heartache over the GTi16v. However, it was being transferred to someone who deserved a better car, my "Father-in-law". This made the decision easier, plus getting a fully optioned and upgraded VR-4 for NZ$10,000 less then going rates for a "stock" one, was an offer to good to pass up.

You have the added advantage that "Galants" are quite rare in the UK and with what you have done to yours makes it unique.

Yeh but.... VR4 Mmmmmmmm :smitten:

[Kieran]

As Pete says - Total respect for your descision there Ian.

There can only be one GOD of GLS Power... And there's no better person for the Job! :2thumbsup :evil2:

no, not at all !! I just dont want you driving back to Scotland saying "SH!T SH!T SH!T !! I wish I'd been on the track !! /wall /dunce

we dont race each other, we race the track/ourselves. /yes :2thumbsup

[wirdy]

seeing as your not selling Ian, you may as well race it ?? /yes /yes :2thumbsup

Must admit, I only paid for one session last year & so had to sit out the second session while I watched the Club VR4 convoy head back out onto the track & then back after 15 mins with huge grins, more tall tales and the smell of hot Galants (& BDA melted brakes :rolleyes4 )

Not doing that again.........would be even worse not going out at all.

C'mon Ian - & bring a companion to share the drive back.

[Spirit]

Ian....."look into the eyes, look into the eyes, not around the eyes, look into the eyes.........you will come on track at Combe" /yes

If that don't work just keep watching the vids from Combe last week and then tell me you don't wanna join in the fun :rolleyes4

/do you think we will wear him down ?

[SGHOM]

/do you think we will wear him down ?
we'll have to !! we cant drag him on there, have you seen the size of him ?? :rolleyes4 :inquisiti :smitten: :smitten:

[Kieran]

Ignore 'em Ian!! You do whatever you want! You certainly won't need to take your GLS on track for it to attract attention anyway! :2thumbsup

:2thumbsup thank's......what area you from?

Hi Ian,

you have probably made the right decision ;)

i probably shoud have kept the v6 for same reasons as yourself, i hardly blast the vr4 (its mostly used for school run, busy roads, slow motorway commutes - which the v6 was more than ample for)

but that said, i've bought the vr and love it!!!! when it does get a blast its fantastic

again - respect is due for making your decision - now you must bear the title of "GOD OF GLS POWER"!!!!! :beatnik2:

[Big Ian]

:inquisiti think i may have found my next tattoo?

GOD OF GLS POWER

After all the work put into your car making it so unique... it would be heart wrenching to sell it..

only just started with the lessons, TOTALLY TERRIFIED! :sick2:
with the kids getting older, thought it was about time.
ian's going to take me out for a little while tonight, if his nerves can stand it :shocked:.
this will be the first time he's took me out for a shot in the astra (no GLS, as you'll have seen thats still his :baby: ), so should be fun :rolleyes4

hiya
thanks for the welcome Derek, but i think for now i'll leave full membership to Ian (unless i eventually get his :baby: ).he likes all the technical stuff :zzz:
I might get him to treat me to a club top for the Jap meet in May though (seeing he's talked me into all that travelling), no doubt he'll want more than a top in return.......maybe a fleece :rolleyes4

[SGHOM]

only just started with the lessons, TOTALLY TERRIFIED!
just relax. you only really learn to drive after you pass your test. :thumbsup:

'Ive been driving in my car' for years, & I'm still learning, sort of !! :rolleyes4 as in how to take corners at over 100 mph with the rear wheels spinning !! :evil2:

once you get the hang of it, it's easy like sunday morning ! /yes :2thumbsup
