What was your first impression when you first drove your Legnum or Galant?

mine was something along the lines of 'shit this takes corners pretty well' while cornering hard i heard alot of rattling and parts flying around in the boot..

was the bolt that held down the spare, jack and other stuff..

"Hmm.. very smooth." -floors it- "holy crap"

My girlfriend's head hit the headrest. She was wearing a hairclip and wasn't too happy with me :p

Just got it today, and already put on an extra 110km on the clock, heh.

The bad: Hmm that clutch engagement point is going to take some getting used to, oh and that turning circle is "great" also...

The good: Looks killer, goes well and has lots of potential...

Over five years ago I picked up Loki after it had been complied in Brisbane and was freighted to Melbourne. Had a mate from work drop me off and he didn't understand what the fuss was over a "JDM wagon".

He was less impressed that this door-damaged, broken-body-kitted, dirty and scuffed ride was wheeled out from the depot with a flat battery. After it had sputtered to life on whatever fuel was in the tank, we gave it a fresh full tank and did an overall check on the fluids.

And that's when Loki woke up.

With no rego plates in the middle of a weekday, I did some spirited runs back to work... big grins, nice handling for a wagon that should be flexing more and realising that I was not just driving but am now the owner of a Super VR4 Legnum. Point it where to go and pull the trigger. No histrionics and predictable at the limits.

Today, the love affair continues every time I open my garage.

This is pretty slow...but what is this? Throttle on before, during and after corner? Holy fast cornering! This is scary.

First time driving an AWD car, going from a decently quick and tail happy 180SX
