My first time...

Firstly, new nickname for me from tonight...

Secondly....

Ok, it happened, for the first time and it happened tonight and it was awesome. I liken it to my first time having sex. Some of us (the decent ones) want it to be somewhat right, not just with anyone. You want to be prepared, know your equipment and what your up against. You’re worried, self conscious and you want to at least predict a favourable outcome. Failure would be embarrassing and something you’d have to live with for the rest of your life.

I liken it to catching that first wave. Letting wave after wave go then finally picking that perfect right-hander that everyone else has paddled off the back of. Coming down the face, not completely sure you have made the right decision, then after cutting back for the first know, knowing you made the right decision. That the hand-shaped ‘Gavelle’ short board was the right pick.

What the hell am I talking about? Well, ladies and gentlemen, I finally pitted my car against another, from zero to ‘sixty’ (to maintain the legality of this site), then back to zero then once again back to ‘sixty’. It was against a WRX, it was tonight and it was in Brisbane and have I mentioned it was awesome?

The poor lad in the lane next to me took off, quickly, from the first set of lights so I thought I’d follow. Once stopped at the next one though he wouldn’t be taking back the lead. To his credit, the poor lad did continue to follow and think that from somewhere his ‘vehicle’ gained substantial kw’s over the last 400m. Unfortunately for him, it hadn’t. I know he was thinking, “What the hell just happened” “Why is my car so far behind”. Well, that’s because, fortunately for me, I was driving my ’08 Mazda 3 MPS with 1315km on the clock.

And might I add, I performed substantially better tonight than I did the first time in the bedroom. Such is life?

So it’s been a good night. Caught up with a few lads, stayed off the beers for once, and beat, nay destroyed, my first WRX. It was exhilarating, somewhat exciting. I remember still at the second lights doubting myself, doubting my car, adrenaline rushing. What was I thinking…?

Peace out.

OMG :2funny:

I like you already;)

I'm pleased you guys enjoyed my 'first time' as much as I did. Might lay off for the second time, learn a few things from mates, get some advice from those weird but great uncles.. Again, I liken it to sex; this morning - woke up about 10ish with a strange feeling, admiration for what I'd achieved and pleased everything performed so well, thinking that was easy - what was a worried about. I can only imagine the mid-20s, possibly early 30 something WRX driver still sitting at the dining room table with a glass of water, rocking back and forwards still wondering what the hell happened some 12 hours ago. Poor fella, anyone know of a second hand 3MPS for him.

I'm pleased you guys enjoyed my first, of many I hope, posts. I'm not even at 25 yet.

I think my life has changed..

May see a couple of you tomorrow.

Wicked.

Hmm, since we should all share our first time..I mean my forst time involved 5 people.

My first time in the MPS how ever was on the south east freeway on the way to movie world.

My mate in his 07 Liberty GT, myself somewhat nervous about the length of his legs in his thinly painted AWD leather seated doom capsual.

So back to fourth it was, I focused on not strapping my gears out too far (it have 1100 ks on the clock) I look to my side to see him...

Nope not that side, look to the other, nope. Look in the rear view, hes freaken miles away. SmashT lol.

So anyways, as my mps cruised on past the what felt like 200kph..., but was only 100ks (K lol) I noticed his hand out his sunroof, as if to flag me down.

I jump on the anchors, police perhaps? (no idea why it bothers me since i was only doing 100 right?..)

To my suprise to my left was a mobiel speed unit.. sweet, wasnt speeding.

So we arrive at movie world, i say hey Jason, "cheers for slowing me down for the speed camera.." Hes like "What?"

I contnued to tell him how had I not noticed his hand I would surely have gone past that speed camera at potentially double the speed limit...

"Ah nah mate, i sneezed an had snot n shit all over my hand, i was drying it out the sunroof.."

what a crack up this thread is, and will continue to be lol

Great reading.

Just a Question

Last year when i was on the GC for Toolies er i mean Schoolies..

i hired a little Manual Kia from the Airport..

first time i had driven on Aussie roads..

Well within 10 Minutes i think i had broken every road rule there was.. :P

Racing holdens and all sorts down the toll way :P

any who..

is it illegal to have your window down and drive with your arm on the window sill slash out the window "holding down the roof" kinda thing..

or was it just me the bogan kiwi breaking yet another law...

The cops on the Gold coast were funny ****ers to say the least...

we had a group of them piss them selves laughing while they were breath testing me and my mates...
