**Firebug** · 08-24-2007, 12:51 PM

This is a fairly relaxed site here kiwi compared to what we are normally used to. Also SC dominated when it comes to forced induction. You'll have a great time here...

Didn't see you at WSID on the 12th? I was keeping an eye out for your car. It looked the shit on the trailer the day we were washed out...

Hey Kiwi! I was born in New Zealand, Hamilton to be exact. I've been in the states for 40 years now so I'm as American as one can be.

I've been a member for over a year, but don't post very often. I just read a lot. There is so much information on this site that there isn't much need to add my 2 cents.

Kia Ora!
