156050vy3uoibugr.gifI GOT MY LICENSE!!! 156050vy3uoibugr.gif

Some of you won't even have realised I didn't have a license. Others that don't know me will be thinking 'whoop-dee-doo'. But for me, this was a MAMMOTH event! I had my test this morning at 8.45am and I passed. Hip hip hooray!

Basically, I started learning when I was 16 with my ex boyfriend. He owned a nice yellow and black torana. I had a few lessons but found it difficult to drive without having arms like popeye. I had a couple lessons with the local driving instructor, who had a little clapped out echo. That thing was the biggest piece of shit EVAR!!! And living in Kingaroy, I had no choice but to learn in it. Anyway, a week before I was scheduled to go for my test, I was driving the torana, and we were arguing about something. I pulled over, and asked him to continue driving. He was furious (I can't even remember what about now), and he crashed the thing side on into a nice big tree. Smashed all up my side the doors, panels, windows etc. I wasn't injured, but I realised quickly how easy it is to crash and possibly maim someone for life.

So then several years later, I moved to Brisbane. I met Andrew, and a couple years on, he buys his first skyline. I realise I should get my license and so, go for some lessons again. Booked my test, ready to go! One night, Andrew and I were driving along in Rocklea, when he needs to do a u-turn. He waited for traffic to pass, and half completed the u-turn when I spotted a nice big post box on one of those huge ass cement poles coming right for me. He managed to steer the car so the postbox wouldn't make contact with me, but with his side instead. Once again, I was left realising how quickly and easily it would be to hurt someone dear to you. So I cancelled my test. I didn't want to hurt anyone.

Nearly 2 years later, after driving around on my learners, and after receiving a fine for doing so alone, I finally book lessons, and consequently, a test. I went to all of my lessons, and to my test this morning, which I, as you now know, passed.

I had, in my opinion, one of the fab-est driving instructors around. He is a driving instructor, stunt driver, drifting instructor and advanced driver training dude. Some of the things he taught me, like the push pull steering thing, I first thought WTF :action-smiley-069: but as I practiced it, it made a HELL of a lot more sense! AAAAAAAAND he has spoken to the peeps at Mt Cotton (who despise the skyline club, btw), and he has managed to get them to agree to having us out there for a day! More details to come shortly. Thanks paul :laugh::cool:

My tester was nice... a strange man with a passion for talking about cocaine and immigrants, but nevertheless, nice. I realised one thing though, he spent most of his time staring at my rack! :(

So aaaaaaaaanyway... that is my rant (a happy rant) about me getting my license.

Anna xoxo

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.

      Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
