[jaeger]

and here i am, the sucker that brought cams car!

j/k its goin quite well and am enjoying it

to introduce myself, i come from the other side of the fence, previously owning aussie car. My last car was a supercharged vt ss commy, and before that a vh group 3 brock commy, and before that nothing worth mentioning.

A few of my mates got into the import scene a few years ago, and having driven thier cars, when it came time to replace the vt (which is now a piece of mangled metal in a wreckers yard, ooops) i decided to go for a skyline, and cams pretty much fit exactly what i was after. so theres the story.

Good luck with the mu cam, i can see it runnin 11s quarters before the end of next year

congrats cam... and congrats on ur new car Jaeger

[slip]

dude why are you going from a cool 'line to a MU?

[BOOSTMEISTER]

I just decided that I wasn't able to do the things I wanted to do while I drove the 32. I am into rock climbing, abseiling and camping etc so having the 32 limited me to sealed roads which meant that I haven't been able to do those things. I also want to get into some serious 4wding and from what I have seen you don't need a v8 powered rig to do it in. I have always liked the MU's so it was an easy decission to make, they have all the electric options etc and are fairly comfy to ride in. Power is a bit less than my 32 with only 80kw at the engine.......dam. But with some boost, exhaust and filter we should be able to sort out some more usable power.

Basically there comes a time in ones life (For me it was my 25th birthday) when you realise that there are more things to life than spending every cent on your car. When an interest becomes an obsession then you need to seriously look at sorting yourself out.

I absolutely loved my car and will always like it and will often look at all the photo's of it but I had to make a choice, I didn't have the money for both so it had to go. For the last 2 years I haven't had any money to spend on anything apart from my car so its time to start living a bit, going on holidays and looking for a relationship with someone other than my car

cameron, im glad you are happy, you have been very nice, and helpful to many here,

firstly, i agree a time comes when you realise that you shouldnt spend all your money on your car, thats not here for me yet so hahaha, but i see in a yr or 2 i wanna put a deposit on a house etc...

seocndly, when you said when hobbies become obsessions you need to re evalute them,

i only think this is true, when obessesions become either too exspensive, or stop you from other things

thirdly, stick to rock climbing and abseiling, rather then your poems

finally, good luck in the new year, and i hope all goes/stays well

Congratulations Cam, glad you sold it (I emailed you about it a few times but ended up getting a big loan and a 33 GTR).

Hope to see you on the tracks someday, drop me an email sometime if you're intereted in meeting up and doing some real slow driving

PS Boxhead: Don't kid yourself that a 4WD means he won't still be spending all his money on his car, my GTR has a lot of catching up to do before it eclipses the cost of the 4WD. At least the tyres are cheaper on the GTR :eek:

[BOOSTMEISTER]

I doubt if I will be spending too much on the MU, probably just a small sus/body lift (4") and maybe some big rock crawler tyres and maybe a new exhaust system and perhaps a water to air intercooler or perhaps a unichip and a big stezza along with some black rims, tint a 9000lb whinch but apart from that I doubt I'll do anything else:D

Seriously though, what I will be doing is saving for any mods instead of getting loans etc.

Here is a pic of my new ride which I'll get on the 6th
