I Envy You All!

[Ethelion]

Hello there fellow diamondheads.. and greetings from Norway!

I am the proud owner of a Mitsubishi Galant GLX , born 1997. It is my pride and joy, and I can honestly say that I love this car. The feel, the look and the way it handles is enough to make me blush.

And the GLX was the only thing I could afford..


My absolute dreamcar is actually the VR4 sports edition.. but this car will cost me 42644 £ if I want it standing outside my house with Norwegian license plates. Not that the car isn't worth it, I just don't have that kind of money to spend on a used car.. and yes, the mentioned price is for a used VR4 from 1996 that has quite a few miles under its hood.


One day, I will buy a VR4.. one day. For now I am spending my time building the GLX, adding a few "modifications" such as: carbon hood, complete bodykit, spoiler, racing mirrors, VR4 headlights and more. Too bad VR4 headlights are all manufactured for right-hand drive, making them illegal in Norway.

Norway is the worst place to buy a car, and owning one here is just as troublesome. I ENVY YOU ALL!


P.S
I have 879 unique pictures of Galant 8th generations from around the world, so if anyone would like me to create an online gallery, please let me know by replying to this post.

P.P.S
I will be posting pictures of my car soon, from 100% original to.. well, I won't ruin the surprise.

Welcome to the club. It is such a shame the authorities over there make things so difficult, is it like that for all powerful cars?

Of course we would be glad to see all of your pictures, it is always interesting to see what others get up to.

Unfortunately, the authorities are strict as hell when it comes to all cars.. especially with cars that have more than 100bhp.

Basically, if you want to do anything besides buying an original car straight from the store, you're in for a rough ride through the Norwegian rules and regulations.

The coppers over here will basically stop anything that looks modified, even if you just changed the rims.

I wish I was exaggerating.. but I'm not.

So this is my car when I bought it..



..and this is after I bought myself some TSW Catalunya 18" rims.
