I'm not necessarily looking for a wife but if it happens those two (3) things are a must!

You forgot to add one certain detail: Drive to the beach in some type of Skyline.

EDIT:
No worries I fixed it for you. :dblthumb: :chuckle:

4Runner is going up for sale this weekend, Z is getting to live in my dad's garage for sometime, I've got a few close friends that will be taking care of and finishing a couple things on it while I am away and depending on how this whole thing plays out I'll either have it waiting when I come back or I'll be shipping it over (at a ridiculous cost(but I love my particular Z, too much history to sell it)) to Australia if I decide to/have the means to stay after my initial contract runs up.

We'll see, might not need to buy a personal vehicle at first, there is public transportation in Perth and I'll be working 3 weeks on 1 week off, may not even get the skyline for a couple years, kind of wanna take a break from being balls deep in a car all the time. But alas we shall see what happens. I'll have the cash to get a skyline when I get there but there are more important things I'll have to take care of like housing. Plus I plan on traveling quiet a bit at least at first so no real need for a car ya know.

Yea I hear that. You sneak your camera into some of the junkyards (Full service and Upull it) then post the pics I would love to see if they are setup any differently. Also JSPEC parts FTW!

I freaking love this place! Perth is absolutely beautiful, Aussies have got to be the nicest people on god's green earth. And in 5 days here I have seen more skylines R32s R33s R35s than I have seen in my entire life upto this point. Trying to find a place kind of sucks but all in all its great. Once I get settled in I plan on doing some rally ridealongs and if possible actually driving some rally prepped subbies :D. More to come.
