BigB's Blitzen
Posted: Sat Jun 21, 2014 10:34 pmHey guys I was very fortunate enough to pick up a MY06 Blitzen last week and I must say, I've never loved something so much.
I joined a few months ago when I started thinking about getting a lib as my first car and I must say I'm very glad that I ended up considering one. I've been looking at getting a car for over 12 months and initially I was looking at Vz Holden Calais until I moved onto Vz commodore utes and then Ve utes which I settled on for a while. I had everything that I wanted to do planned out and it was just a waiting game, that is until I started thinking harder about it and realised young male, modified commodore etc etc you get the point and thought that I needed something that I would be happy with initially without modifying until I could get past the 'danger' stage. So after looking around and considering a v6 passat but deciding that they would be too much to maintain I decided on a liberty, after initially looking at pre fl 3.0rbs (because I wanted a manual) and just stumbling across blitzens I decided it would be worthwhile to keep an eye on them. My favouritism then started to move towards post fl and it became a toss up between a post fl and a blitzen. Then this one popped up and as soon as I saw it I knew that it would be a dream to have it but it was out of my price range and so I saved it and kept looking. I had my eye on a few but none of them stuck in my mind like this one so it was time for some digging, I decided that because it was lightly modified it could be on a forum somewhere and by this point I had joined up so I decided why not start here and with a massive stroke of luck I stumbled across it Here is the thread, eventually the price dropped enough that I thought I might have a chance so I got in contact with the guy who was selling it (not the same one that posted it on the forum) and we arranged a time, my Dad and I met up with him, inspected the car and everything seemed to be in good working order, we drove a hard bargain because I couldn't afford to spend any more and a deal was made on the day and to be honest it was the happiest day of my life knowing that all my hard work has paided off.
But I am in love with it and am enjoying the challenge of learning manual, for now I feel like I'm back to square one despite having my 120 hours.
There aren't really any planned mods for now for the above reason but there will be a list below.

You all seemed to be a great group and hence why I am posting, I'm very much looking forward to getting to know you all better and eventually meet up with some of you.
