Hello again all, as you have all said to Mondie, he is a very lucky man to have these two classics in his back yard. When me and the family are around to have a visit, Mondie will often disappear, and you would find him at the carport just standing there, looking at his two rides. I�m sure this behavior will pass in a little while.
I had the GTHO at my place for a while, as Mondie was having his fortress to house the cars built. The drive out to home is 10km or so and as you can guess, I was to drive the GT so with Mondie in his Subaru STI and me in the HO we headed to my place, sitting in that old girl with Mondie up my ass and with his window wound down, the least I could do is let him get a true idea as to what the HO sounded like, so with the 4000RPM as the cut off, we would slow down to 50 KPH and then a quick run to 4000RPM through 2nd 3rd and 4th gears, with the turbo lag in the Subaru and the muscle in the GTHO poor Mondie could only watch his pride and joy disappear down the highway�Harrr Harrr.
Then it was into the shed at home and that was the end of that.
The photo shoot the other day was great, as we where out of town a bit and Mondie bless him, likes to pretend to be a boy racer, so at times but all, to briefly the A9X and the GT would be roaring like they should, we each had young Mondie junior in with us during the day, and even though a long way off his own first drive he knew what it was all about. So there you have it people a hell of a way to kill a Saturday���..VB
