Hello,.
So I am 3 months late but here is my mega story.
So I was looking at a Toyota Aristo then 2 days before I went to look at aristos I thought "what about a legnum..." Leather, twin turbo and wagon, so I can sleep and put my surfboards in the back, good talk worridge! Ticked all boxes bar toyota.
However, I grew to love the machine on what I hope, might have been the longest trip a legnum has done?(I noticed Lasiorhinus drove from Perth back to Darwin). I would like to thank first of all Trev aka Godzilla for selling me such a fine vehicle.
-So I flew from Perth to Brissy
-Drove from Goldy to Boomerang beach NSW. Then surfed for 2 days at Boomers drove to Newcastle.
-Left Newcastle at 6am a few days later headed to dubbo then onto broken hill and settled up for the night. (didnt surf in broken hill
)
-Left Broken hill around 9am and drove to Whyalla SA, met up with an old buddy I new through motorsport. Blotto took me and my mate Kade for a tour through onesteel Whyalla. (Big industry is impressive!!!) After our tour we drove to Streaky Bay. Streaky bay was awesome.
-We left streaky bay early saturday morning to reach the world famous Cactus surf break in SA. To quote Bruce Brown (Endless Summer) "The surf was GANGBUSTERS!"
We didnt hang around cactus long, we were concerned the whites might get a taste for us, there was only 2 of out at the beach.
-Saturday after noon we continued across the nullabor (amazing!) to Cocklebiddy WA.
-Sunday morning got up real early and drove to Perth, home sweet home to find an old Porsche in my driveway, score!
All in all awesome trip, one of the best things I have done in my life and it was only 4 days. It was up there with riding my CBR 600rr round BC canada, but better cause it was in our own country, I never knew how little we knew of our country I just assumed it was all like the eastern seaboard.
So, then got it over here happy as larry. Took it to the pits to get it road worthied and regoed. They pulled me up on absolutely everything. It was as if they thought they were half bred race scrutineer's.
So my car's first mod was WA number plates and what an expensive one.
-rotors/pads
-remove tint
-buy stock coilovers
-Tyres
-tie rods.
+ more but they were the major's
But shes sound as a pound now bar one squeak, which I will get to the bottom of. And I am proud to say that I now part of the VR4 clan and love it.
Please enjoy my photos of the journey.
Thank you for having me and reading my introduction.
