ME!

Every, EVERY time that I go down the driveway and see my car for the first time in the morning I think to myself "I made the right choice" and smile at the same time.

Sure, she blows a bit of smoke sometimes. She eats a lot too. Sometimes she just doesnt like the new things i buy her, but she always finds something she likes(or i make her like).

Expensive as she may be, you know what, at the end of the day she is always there for me when i need to give it to her hard....and she never complains about it! :P

Stagea's rock.

Ive definately got a soft spot for my wagon; thinking Id like to finish off the family with a Series 2 Neo tiptronic Stagea as well.

Just washed her moments ago and it feels great to caress her lovely smooth panels, and see her skin shine and sparkle in the sun, dripping wet and showing off in the driveway.

=P Brendan

I have never, never, never done that myself, ever. Well maybe just once but nobody saw me.

I luurrve my 260RS and my wife now loves my old Stagea.

My dog doesnt like either of them.

I love mine but it hasn't really been drivable since early November and I'm getting really sick of pulling it apart and trying to put it back together over and over again.

The comments from family and friends have now turned from praise to "your a fkn idiot why don't you just get a normal car", "you should have left it the way it was at least it was drivable" etc

I can see my self cracking it soon and selling it.

I don’t want to but I'm getting very frustrated with it now. I drove it to work today for the first time in weeks and couldn't even keep up with a Patrol along a windy road. It doesn’t help that I can get a 22% discount on any new Ford ether.

Ditto to the aforementioned comments. Between the wife, the stagea and me it is a sordid love triangle.

So far the best thing about living in Gumpie land is that I'm the only who has that warm fuzzy feeling and hope to have it all (the warm fuzzies) to myself for a while yet. Only two Gumpieites have said "hey, love your Volv..!!" Even my mad R33 mate with 300+KW is livid because the Stagea is so driveable. As the promo goes, "Luxury, Sporty yet functional".

Living on a major road I see a lot of cars drive by and I can't help but laugh to myself, thinking "you paid $50,000+ for that Clubby and you're only just getting the options my car came with standard 5 years ago! And I only paid 22!"

Often when I kiss my wife goodbye as I go to work I look past her at the Stagea and think..."you know you've made the right choice."

Well, its like my dads car, a 97 VS acclaim.

I get in it, it rattles, its slow, it has all little stupid things breaking, its poor deign, feels like crap.

Stagea feels like a dream after driving that bastard. For 97 tech, AU was DAMN far behind.

Chris, Chris's car is the silver on in the Melbourne meet number one thread. Dayz front bar, Buddy club P1's, FMIC etc.

      Could you have not cut off the OEM flange, weld on a larger flange for DBW?

      Maybe of interest, a little while ago I spoke to one of the guys from Rajab Racing Developments and he hinted to me they could be developing a new cast exhaust manifold. Incidentally, they have already made one for the barra and it looks functional

      So Bathurst coming up so really need to get this new ECU in. I regret going to flex fuel and all the headaches associated with DBW with cruise etc....a miss the simplicity of Power Fc   I make enough power that I should have just gone back to 98 but...anyway Turns out with the std inlet I cant really go any bigger than 60mm DBW so wasnt able to play with that aspect of the update.

      SAUNSW Pizza Run - Talotta's Pizzeria - Saturday 27th July 2024

      By sammi_d · Posted

      We're bringing Pizzas back!! Pizza Runs, to be specific... We had a practice Pizza Run a while ago, and everyone has been screaming for a proper one... So you've asked, and now we're delivering! Since your tastebuds are tingling, feast your eyes on the event details: Date: Saturday 27th July 2024 Meet Location: Parking Lot - 1 Parkview Dr, Sydney Olympic Park Meet Time: Meet at 5.30pm for a 6.00pm departure Destination: Talotta's Pizzeria, 1-3 Bridges St, Kurnell Map: https://tinyurl.com/saunsw-talottas  We'll meet at the carpark on the corner of Parkview Drive and Australia Avenue in Sydney Olympic Park. When we leave the parking lot, we'll head down Australia Ave, and turn right onto Homebush Bay Drive at the large roundabout near DFO. As soon as we turn onto Homebush Bay Drive, we will be turning left onto the M4 to drive through the new M4/M8 tunnel! Everyone loves a bit of RB action through a tunnel.... We'll exit the tunnel at the Gardener's Road exit, and turn onto Princes Highway, where we'll follow it onto Rocky Point Road and then onto Taren Point Road. Once we reach Miranda, we'll turn left onto Captain Cook Dr, where we'll continue on straight until we reach Talotta's Pizzeria for some pizza goodness!!! There is a small carpark at the destination. Limited spaces are available, but there will be plenty of street parking in front of Talotta's There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
