Welcome Dave. Good to see a new member not named Tony or Matt :D

F1 huh? I haven't been keeping up with the "news" on that circus for the last 4 or 5 months. You going down to Melbourne? One of the other guys was planning on heading down

Hope you enjoy the banter

Welcome aboard Dave. Sounds like you know a bit about the Liberty but I have to say that the mod bug has already bitten you if you have already changed the grill out. Hang out here and you will have $5K worth of mods by the end of February. :D

Thanks for your welcomes guys.
Team White it is!!
Yep I'm an F1 diehard. Been following it for 25 yrs though last season was a bit of a yawn. They need to bring back the slicks and downforce and get a bit of mongrel back into the comp just like in the Senna/Prost days. Just love all that technology though. Not sure if I'll get to Mel yet for this years race. Might not be too many races left down there.
Just looked at the Lib concept shots. Bit of a Barry Crocker shocker IMO. looking forward to posting in the relevant forums once I get my head wrapped around your terminology/abbreviations.....just like the Army uses LOL. :D

Welcome mate. I'm sure we can convince you to do a few mods ;)

So how do you find the Lib when compared to the WRX?

Glad to see you got of the Hondas... Just in time to, the Rice Police are doing rounds ;) :lol:

Thanks Wasabi,
Yep got out of the Hondas as my wife had Impreza and after driving that around for a while got hooked on Subs. My wife presently drives an urban grey Liberty 2.0 sedan with the SatNav. The WRX was a great great car to drive. Talk about a hoon magnet though, geez. Couldn't mind my business when sitting at lights a fair bit of time (especially here in Toowoomba) without getting the stares and the revs from the dragsters. Ah well you drive one of those and it comes with the territory. I got into the Lib for two main reasons, luxury/refinement with a turbo AWD, and more suitable to my age/demographic. :D
