Having come back to the first garage we had stopped at in Albany, we noticed they had a Legnum VR-4 in the corner. Wow, I remember thinking, it would be awesome to have one of those. During the test drive it felt much quicker than the GTB, but some of that would have been down to the V6 and the torque. Well, we bought it and over the years it was a great family car. It was tiptronic too which meant that you could do a bit of manual work if you wanted.
Fitted a big bore muffler, new stereo, Ralliart lower strut brace, Evo 4 lightweight mags and had it de-catted too. Best memory comes from punting it around Pukekohe Race Circuit, reaching 180km/h on the back straight.
