Never really pay much attention to things like this but couldn't forget this one today.

Sitting at the servo, guy in a Stagea goes to his ladyfriend "whoa sick hunni! Check this out!! Look at this GTR wagon!!!" coming from someone in a stagea looking at my legnum. Mate, loosen your grip or switch hands or something...not letting any blood anywhere else.

My favourite was the bloke doing the RWC on the car before I bought it.I couldn't wait until Monday so I called about 20 places until I found someone who would do an inspection on a Saturday, in the end I got hold of a bloke and we headed to his good old fashioned Mom and Pop type workshop from yesteryear.Nice enough old bloke who looked like Jeremy Clarkson with a bit more sun damage.Anyway he got the inspection under way and puts the car up on the hoist to discover two sh*thouse rack boots and tells us he will grab some new ones and fix it up.He calls up his parts guy, here is the conversation.

Mechanic- "Yeah mate its John, just chasing up a pair of rack boots for a ahh, one sec (to owner) whats this thing called?
Owner- "Mitsubishi Legnum"
Mechanic- (back to phone) A Mitsubishi Lemgum, Lengum, I dunno" (sticks his head under the bonnet and stares at the engine in silence for about 30 seconds) " Twin Turbo? F*uck knows.Its a Magna, do you have the boots?"
Owner- "Its not a Magna its a Legnum"
Mechanic- (still on phone) "Yep, Yep, Magna....Hang on (to owner) "TS or TE Magna?"
Owner- NOT MAGNA, LEGNUM
Mechanic-(on phone)"Fu*K I dunno mate TE will do, cheers"

Then he gets off the phone and turns to us and says "Its all sweet mate he has the parts in stock ill send the girls to go grab then now and ill keep inspecting the car"

Luckily the boots fit fine and the car passed RWC without a single other drama.Not the last time its been called a Magna either.

Guy at work complemented me on my 'Stagea'. I had to explain to him it's not a Nissan.

Colleague yesterday spies my car in the staff carpark.

"Ooh, thats a nice looking Magn.... hmm..."

He wanders around, reads "Legnum" on the boot...

"Leg....? What is it?" He turns to me and asks "Whos is this?"


Me: "Mine - and its a Legnum, of course!"

No comment but tonight i pulled over to get something to eat and had the female passenger of a 34 GT-T skyline mouth "ohhh shit" as pulled up at the lights. She was having a good look, the driver didn't seem to happy with her reaction.

No one at work does that to me, they know what it is but insist on calling it a magna.

*Facepalm*

Took the Leggy to Pedders for a suspension and safety check.They had no time but took my details and booked it in for Monday.

Pedders guy "What kind of car is it?"
Me "Mitsubishi Legnum"
Pedders Guy "Twin Turbo 3.0L Magna wagon, Awesome!"
Me "Thats the one".....:wanker:

Mate: What's that whining sound when your revs go up, something wrong with your stereo?
Me: That's the turbo's...

I'm always explaining what my car is, mostly due to my car not having any badges whatsoever. Maybe I should put a mitsu one in the grill...

I would avoid Pedders and other cheap generic suspension places. Go to a place which specialises.

 

[fieldy107]

Peddlers might be generic but they definitely are not cheap

Im not going there to get work done, just getting the 100pt suspension check or whatever they call it.Its $14 and they put it up on the hoist and let you have a look at it.I just want to check out my LCA's and a few other things.Pretty much just paying for hoist hire so I can have a look

They'll come back with 20 million things wrong with your car and then you'll start to worry and we will all tell you to get another opinion.

True story!

Not so much a quote but hey, close enough...

On the way to the local shoppe, putting round a corner, I meet a highway patrol car coming the other way. His got so distracted by the shiny front-mount peeking out from my grill he nearly ran straight through the corner and into a schoolyard fence!

"WTF? Turbo magna- SHIT! CORNER!" *Swerve*

Idiot.

Think I'd best me painting my cooler black. Highway cops are like a plague since the Frankston TMU moved just up the road, less attention the better.

Good luck finding a suspension place that specialises in imports, especially up here

99% of places up here don't have any idea about most imports.One place I rang about doing my 100k service flat out refused to work on it because it's too hard.Another place quoted me 20+ hours of labour minimum because it was an engine out job haha.The place I ended up at was great though and I'm glad I searched around.Plus they know who to sub contract their jobs out to if they can't handle it because they do heaps of imports and Jap cars.

Was refuelling at my local servo (United 100 RON fuel works nicely) when a gentleman was walking to pay for his petrol and looked over his shoulder to see the front of "Loki".

He literally did a double-take but kept on walking, assuming the doors to the servo would open automatically...

They didn't.

Ever seen a bird smack into a window?
