Chch Newbie

Post by zephyrheaven »

Hi, just a newbie from Chch - been on Tardme for years with this username so sticks for now

Got a 80 with a williams winch bar / warn / lifted / hankooks and all the stuff
Go 4xing with a mate with a locked 70 and another with a disco V8 usually

Own Neil Stuart Auto in Talfourd place now, been working there for 6 years so was next step really

Classic car scene / rod scene pissed me off - found more fun / adventure in 4xing around
Into camping, Mtbing, fishing and all that

Playing in Hanmer at new years

Welcome!
Nice looking 80 there. That front bar looks sweet.
Think I've seen your rig around town. Your place is close to Dave's. (Falsegrave Auto) I think.

Good to see another Cantab sign up on ORE.

You wanna try going on one of Al's westcoast trips. Good for a laugh. (if you don't get the shits like I did after the first day :roll: )

Not happy with the current power output I guess? How much more grunt do you get by doing those mods? Does it go through much more diesel?
