sydney sider, former drifter, newly 4wd/mk owner

[KevyBby]

Hi guys, name is kevin & residing in sydney.

Formally in the drift world, but time & work took its toll, couldn't justify pouring money like that into a black hole & priorities were set straight, been out of the game for a few years now.

New to the 4x4 scene, wanted to get a post 05' y61/gu, ended up with an 85' lwb mk, wanted to be sure I was really enthusiastic about 4wd'ing before I spend that sort of money on a vehicle, but im sure I will enjoy it.

The troll is rego'd, needs a fair bit of work though, will tinker around with it bit by bit in my spare time.
Looking forward to learning & experiencing this craze that has set my mind insane.

Cheerio/kevin.

Such a great response, thanks for the warm welcoming guys.
Such a great atmosphere aswell, reading through some of the threads, there's no heros/keyboard warriors.

Yes, to that one that suggested, I will be making a build thread soon.
And yes, I am aware they are a big money pitt, I can live with that considering I wont have the trouble from fines/defects that sport cars attract haha

Drifter - noun - a person who is continually moving from place to place, without any fixed home or job. (Oxford Dictionary).

I guess they need to update their definition. ;)
