end of year wrap up

2011 DONE!

It feels like not much has happened, but starting to think about it 2011 was pretty big year for me.

For starters I began contributing to this blog, I hope articles I posted have been somewhat helpful, or at least captured your attention for a few minutes. It’s been fun blogging my thoughts and actions.

Just before that I sold my first AE86. She was super charged and was a good little car, I thought back then that I would never own another 86 and I had enjoyed the time I had with that car.

I was going to have a break from cars for a while… that lasted all of about 3 weeks when I went and picked up an s13 which I had planned to turn into a dirt circuit race car. I stripped it back, cut a big hole in the middle of it so I could mid-mount an SR just for the sake of it. I got to the point where I needed to start spending a lot of money on it, and decided to pull the pin.

So not much longer than 6 month
s I found myself wanting another decent street car. Started looking at an s14 but just couldn’t love the Nissans so I bought an 86 coupe! Drove it back from Sydney with Ash; good times. Back in the little 80’s box stylin and loving it, except this one had a 2004 Lexus motor, which I REALLY enjoy.

Had my first official drift track day and had a blast

also learnt how to use a dyno at a tafe course

So the year has gone I’ve been through a few cars but ended on a high with a great little car that I’m really enjoying and looking forward to the years of ownership with it. I think this car is going to be around for a long time!

Then to finish the year off we started up a fairly low key street crew, we head out for a feed and a drive and just normally stand around talking trash and kicking tyres. It’s a great time just to enjoy our cars and the roads Adelaide has to offer.

It’s been great being part of the Ghetto Garage crew! We have a laugh, play with cars and help each other out when we can. Having a group of mates to share our passion of cars with really makes it so much more enjoyable

Hope you have been inspired or had a laugh reading the blog.

Don’t go too far because we have more to come in 2012! I got a feeling it’s gonna be a big one.

I’m trying to figure out a way to bottle sound…. thought i could make a manly cologne out of it

I have always loved cool sounds, weather its music, engines or sound tracks from movies. I’m constantly getting laughed at about my reinterpretation of car noises and the finger tacho signals that go along with them. There is just something about a unique sound that captures me and takes my attention

the most enjoyable aspect of this car to me in the sound of the quad throttle bodies just gulping in air. At idle, lightly cruising up the road or flat out at 7500rpm it just brings a smile to my dial every time. If you have ever driven a car with open quads you would have to agree (and to quote Jamie/Frak again)

“every one HAS to hear this!!!”

BEAMS, Timmy D
