Jeffrey's Story - The Beginning
It all started back in 98. I was out
looking for the car of my dreams, browsing the auto trader for a great deal. I came across an ad for a
92 MR2 Turbo, which at the time was out of my price range. I went down to the
Nissan dealer who was
selling this "bad boy" to try and low-ball a deal. These
guys were pretty tight about
the figures, but after much debate, I had struck a
reasonable offer. I phoned up the
big boss (Mom) to see what she thought, and of course
worried about my killing
myself in this RWD turbo street machine. She wasn't happy
about the idea! I went
home that night and convinced the parents to take a look at
the car, so the next day
we were back at the dealer. Of course Mom managed to flirt
with the owner
enough to knock another grand off the price tag and throw in
aftermarket drivetrain
insurance, so I was ecstatic about my new found love.
Driving off the lot was amazing, never touched stick before in my life, it was quite
the adventure. I jumped
on the new highway (407) and hit 250 kmh my first day out,
"WHAT A RUSH". And it was all over from there! |
