Back on 4 wheels

[dangermouse]

I've been riding bikes for the last 5 years, however, I have a terrible track record when it comes to staying on two wheels (not always my own fault).
So after much to-ing and fro-ing, debating and descussion, I was on the hunt for a car.
Now, my wife drives a big, heavy, wobbly, ugly, thirsty Honda Odyssey, so I was on a mission to find exactly the opposite.
I've never been into Jap cars, (my last car was a cloverleaf Alfa), so after trolling through tardme, and producing a shortlist, I've ended up with 106.
Some of you may recognise it, I believe it belonged to someone here.

Anyway, after 5 days with the car, I can't imagine driving anything else.

I'm not a person with a lot of spare time, three kids'll do that, but I'll always get out for a drive if I can, I have a lot of tools, a little mechanical knowledge, and am always keen to help when needed.

So I'll look forward to catching up with a few of you in the future.

HI DAVE

Assumed you bought after I stopped seeing it parked in Grey Lynn there.

Welcome to FastFrogs. It's full of information and shit. But mostly shit.

Hi Dave,

Which model is yours? I saw a tidy looking XSi on tm which I considered before settling on the one I've just bought. It was from Grey Lynn so it may be the one you're thinking of "Carpentry"?
We should organise a drive through a few twisty roads sometime. In the meantime let me know how you get on with the new toy.

Yeah, that's the one. It ain't got nothing on your Rallye though. Seems to be a tidy car and all is good so far. Would be keen for a gawk at yours one day
