G'day! Yet Another Newbi!

  Top of Page

Hey All,

My name is Steve, commonly know as The Tree...  I'm just on 2m tall so the only choice of Subi's for me was the Lib wagon!!  I've bought an MY07 GT-B manual, black.  Take delivery next week.  Can't wait to get into it and drive, drive, drive.  Tassie here we come!

I've owned a few cars, all rear wheel drives and all with V8's.  This is my first awd and turbo.  So looking forward to being able to go 'around' corners without sliding the butt out really big and feathering the load pedal!  (without tank slapping too!)

All my previous cars have been mod'd and I promised the missus that I wouldn't mod this one, but after a quick glance through the forums thus far I dunno how long that promise will last!smile

Anyway, I'm looking forward to chatting with you guys, learning as much as I can and hopefully meeting you all sometime.

P.S. Please ignore my dumb questions - remember I've come from the dark side!!

Cheers

The Tree

You've bought what I want!!

I'm pushing 2m so I'd be interested to hear how you get on driving the wagon. It all seems a little tight in the cockpit from the limited experience I've had so far.

Let me know.

Hey guys, thanx for all your welcomes!  I should be picking it up on tomorrow or Wed (hopefully!)  My wife saw my original post and had a good laugh about the mods...  :help:  hehe.

She's fine tho - she was whinging about me always getting the new cars and her not having a new one.  So, my being the loving husband (read: sucking up big time) that I am, I ordered personalised plates for her and am putting them on the car!  She's a car nut too and loves the GT so I thought that we both win - I drive it daily, she gets to call it hers!  Tell me - who gets the better deal here!!

Well, I can't wait to get into it...  not long now!  I'll post pics as soon as she's in the drive guys!

Cheers

Steve
