Morning everyone,
I've actually been a member here for about 8 years although I've been a bit of a ghost for most of those so thought it was time for a new username and to get back amongst it.
Been living in Australia for the past 4 years and earlier this year moved back to Europe. Heres a little run down of my car life since I last checked in.
Bought myself a beautiful Alfa Romeo 147 GTA in Sydney. It had been looked after meticulously by the previous owner in everyway. I cannot talk highly enough of this car, yes it had the usual electrical gremlins
but that's all part of its personality. Drove like a dream with the Q2 diff upgrade and the note for the V6 was amazing. Found myself taking regular trips throgh Sydney Harbour Tunnel:
I also raced in The Australian Endurance Karting Championship which took us all over NSW in 6-12hour races, took the glory in our last race which was special:
Have since moved back to Europe, great to be closer to home/family as Australia is further away (and more expensive to get to) than the moon! Now living in Belgium, which for a Motorsport obsessive, is a pretty special place!
Managed to get myself a Seat (mind the pun) in the European Seat Endurance Cup. Have been racing in that since March and just completed my first season, some pretty promising results and a rough end to the season. Already looking forward to next year:
Last week I picked myself up a toy for weekend trips at home. Will spend most of its life under a cover in a garage and be lucky to see anymore than 3000 miles a year. I take back all the abuse I have given soft tops over the years, an early morning blast around the Coast road with the roof down and VTEC screaming was pretty much enough to convert me (mind the pun) for a life time.
So, just a little update, those of you I know, hello again! Working on a blog about living/racing/car culture in Europe, happy to make it public when its a bit more populated and interesting.
Cheers - Brendan
