LTSJayce Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Hi,Im part of the skyline owners club in the uk and was having a look at your forum, Its really good, Have a look at my gts turbo i got her last week and im starting to do her up. Its quite unusual for a young female to drive one of these cars in the uk as there seen as a mans car,is it the same in Australia? G'day Opel! I used to live in Essex(right next to Stansted...),and whilst I was residing there,all the pimply lads seemed to be into nothing but Max motors....in fact,mostly everywhere I went,it was badly painted + kitted Pug's and Mondeo's. It's nice to think it's starting to change if lady is driving an R33 over there! Is the scene actually changing much? And is it still you-gotta-be-'avin'-me-on when it comes to insurance? It seems most 'Line UK owners are fairly switched on. We probably don't see enough of you lot posting "down under" as you should:word up your fellow 'Liners 'bout us! Oh,and feel free to tease us "convicts" with photo's of top totty and the like,'K? After all,funkymonkey was right when he said most blokes here just wanna know if you're fit...LOL! Cheers! Jayce.

GTRgeoff Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 What?? No Thailand and Koh Samui?? Were going back for 3 weeks in Thailand with most of it in Samui about the same time this year. Have 2 extra friends this year to make 6 so we'll have to hire a big yank convertible for the island laps Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/79541-just-saying-hello-from-the-uk/page/2/#findComment-1451290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
666DAN Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 What?? No Thailand and Koh Samui?? Yeah sad to say, but no...even though we were trying to think of some way to go via Samui..was great there! I've got to go to PNG on the 20th...and If I make it back in one piece we're off to NZ skiing in August (pffft snow isn't a *real* holiday without sun and sand) Really have to go to the UK though next year, catch up with Hannahs family, and also put her through the same fate of meeting my family!

GTRgeoff Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Mmmm PNG is still a bit of a risk. As for snow, well it's never a holiday, just a wild hard drinking time with lotsa exercise and speed rush. I used to ski at the Army champs and have missed it a lot since the accident. Last time we had a chalet with an outdoor spa, and we'd sit around drinking my highly volatile homemade dark&stormy's for 2 hours after the days skiing. Some of us were competing on 2 hours sleep a night. Made tha falls easier/softer when you're relaxed. Family meet huh? Hope you both survive.

PSI_GTSII Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Is this thread bringing out all the old UK dwellers??? Could be!.....I was born in Saltburn (near Whitby...Captain Cooks home town ) Then did the usual working holiday to the UK about 10 years ago now, lived in Middlesbrough and Derby....had an absolute ball great place, but owning a (nice) car over there is a nightmare....eg Fuel, Insurance, not to mention weather and keeping your pride and joy clean! BTW.....I used to drive an OPEL Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/79541-just-saying-hello-from-the-uk/page/2/#findComment-1455986 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh looking at the days they do at Spa etc, well how great would that be, plus th UK has so many tracks:) 10-12 months ago i was going to take my car over there with me for a driving/thrash holiday, but the combination of not really being able to sell it whilst i was over there...and well, the real reason was i spent all my savings the past 18 months racing/tracking my car, well i cant afford to take it anymore, truth is i need to sell it to make sure i even make it OS now. Cant wait to see the photos:) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/79541-just-saying-hello-from-the-uk/page/2/#findComment-1456027 Share on other sites More sharing options...
