Hey guys :) Just decided to join, so let me tell you a bit about myself.

16, on my L's, planning on getting an Black/Gun Metal Grey 08 ES for my first car ;) That's my reason for joining, better get in on it early :)

uh, I'm on the Mighty Car Mods forums too, same username.

I'm pretty friendly if you get to know me, so you know, I'm up for a chat anytime.
You'll probably see me on here asking a lot of questions so yeah, help us out if you can ;)

Cheers

Welcome to the forum buddy! I think you're the only blue mountains club member I know.
Most Club members on here are from Western Sydney...and then there's me who's a little further east haha. Represent the mountains :D.

What's your budget for your car? Have you actually got it yet?

We're having a lancer meet some time in september. Come with us!
And whos your footy team? :D

There's a guy name Chris from Springwood who joined so he's local too :)

Uh, a lot of ES's are on Carsales for $10-11k so I've got a budget of $9.5-10k (work it down to something that suits if you know what I mean ;))

Edit: and the footy is AFL, yeah, say what you will, but I'm coming 75th out of all of Australia, all ages, both genders, for goal kicking, so I'm pretty fucking hectic ;)

Sweet. You know what, if you save an extra $2-$3 grand, you can actually get a 2009 - 2011 models with low Ks. Like around the 50,000km area. Or you could get a

VRX http://www.carsales.com.au/private/deta ... =0&sdmvc=1

It would be so worth it mate. I sold my VR just so I can get a VRX :)

That's awesome with the footy :D

I have $4k saved up and make a grand every 6 months, I have about 3 months to go til I get my car, but manual is a must (I noticed VRX in the link is auto with transferable [+ and - 'manual']).

I'm just thinking about going for an ES, getting a body kit with the extra money I save > http://www.carsales.com.au/private/deta ... =0&sdmvc=1

^ something like that, just add a spoiler and (so my car looks innocent for the P's test), get a body kit after I get my P's ;) :)

1 Grand every 6 months? And you'll get in 3 months? I'm confused :P

To put it simpler, I earn about 3k a year, and 2/3 of it goes in the bank

= 2k per year.

I have 3 months until I get my car, but I'm $1k short of $10k.

see my dilemma?

sorry for the confusion
