Hello everyone,
My names Luke, I got put onto this forum by Ben, I dunno about a year ago. Since then I've checked up fairly regularly on the happenings and discussions. Ben asked me why I hadn't joined and started posting and I couldn't think of a good reason why I hadn't so here I am.
Bit about me...
Drive a '97 Legacy GT Wagon. Does the job and goes nicely. It wants to be a WRX STi Type RA when it grows up. Currently it's Stock Standard, which I quite like, though when it gets some holes in the muffler from all those gravel roads I'll probably stick something more freeflowing, but not obnoxious on it, just for the burble.
Before that I had NZ New 91 Legacy 2.2 GT (no turbo tho) Sedan. Was a good car and was sad to see it go, decided to upgrade when 3rd started to get a little crunchy.
My first car isn't really worthy of mention except for it's end, partial head on with a Hilux with bull bars at 30kph in about a foot of snow on gravel road. Don't ask why I was there, though I was surprise how far it got, no damage to the hilux tho thankfully so was kind of positive. For the record it was 86 Ford Telstar.
I said before I knew Ben, whose probably taught me about 90% of what I know about cars/driving etc. Some would use the word 'corrupted' instead of taught, however I think I'm in safe company here and 'taught' is the correct word to use.
Favourite Roads:
Lindas Pass
Crown Range
Devils Staircase (Between Kingston and Queenstown)
Haast Pass (See a theme developing)
Plenty of Dunedin backroads (from my time there)
Don't know how frequently I'll post but will continue to keep updated and contirbute meanfully where I can.
Cheers
Luke

One of the things you'll need to become familiar with is thread hijacking . . . like this
probably because they have no sense of humour and couldn't understand what was on the back of the package . . .

. . . Everyones buying new cars on here at the moment. It shouldn't take too long to fleece you of your hard earned bucks 
Can't afford a new car at the moment what with everything else I need to buy. But I did get a care-package from the good people at Rooster Teeth. It had been opened by Customs probably because they have no sense of humour and couldn't understand what was on the back of the package . . .WARNING: Package May Contain Contents

Amen to that! I go up there quite often with work, its a great road (good fun on the way down on a MTB too Lindas Pass
)Would have been great to go thru on the Silver Fern in something with some go + handling.
If your looking for some good roads (gravel or tarmac) around Timaru, give me a yell.
anyways, welcome aboard!
