Hi from new member

[Speedybee]

Hi, I'm Neil, I'm 61 and come from Auckland, New Zealand.
I bought a new Snow White Pearl Stinger GT RWD in January 2018.
I have done 3000km in it and have enjoyed every one of them. I traded my 2010 Audi A5 Sportback, which I have had since new, in on the stinger and don't regret it one bit.
Aside from the stinger I am a bit of a petrolhead and have always loved fast cars and motorbikes.
I enjoy modifying my rides to a small degree and will do so to the Stinger over the next few months as I can afford it. But only for performance and handling - I don't really like too much useless crap on the outside as I like a more understated look, if you can call a Stinger understated!!
I also have a 2006 BMW K1200S motorbike which has been a little modified and given an extra 18HP over standard which has improved acceleration (0-100) from standard by 0.3sec, improved top speed by over 10km/h (now 285+ km/h) and reckon with a couple more small tweeks should get over 300km/h out of the 'old gal'.
My wife of 23 years and I also both enjoy overseas touring and love equestrian sports, cycling and hiking.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I know you've had your Stinger for a while - but congratulations! Love Equestrian sports, huh? Why aren't you in Wellington, Florida right now?

I’m struggling to get to Wellington New Zealand at the moment. Let alone Florida

Many thanks Rufus. Yup, we’re lucky there is about 3000km of ocean separating Aussie and us, otherwise they’d all be over here learning our kiwi driving secrets

Aussie hoons? Well really! I’m not a hoon I’m a Stinger being.
Besides Aussies are better at cricket!
