Coming to Australia!


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I am a 34-year-old American that thought it would be fun to spend my Winter in Shanghai, China, with some friends, but it is not fun. It is crowded and smoggy and cold. What was I thinking?

So now I have changed my plans and I am headed to Australia for three months, though May 2011. I don't know a single soul in Australia and so I figured that I would find some people who share similar interests and see what happens. My plan right now is to land in Sydney on February 15th and then I am taking a surf tour bus up to Byron Bay that will dump me there February 22nd. No plans after that except roaming about, meeting new people, and trying to surf and wakeboard as often as possible.

I'm a somewhat serious Toyota enthusiast. I've owned a Lexus LS400 on Tein coilovers, a Lexus SC430 on 20s, three AE86s, a Tundra and T100 4x4, and a handful of lesser Toyotas. I was even close to owning the very first Toyopet Crown that was imported to America in 1957 (I was outbid on the eBay auction in the last hour). It is probably good because I don't know what I would have done with it, other than parking it in my garage.

I also run a website that documents Toyota's history in the USA, with paint code information and archived brochures and commercials. Whew:

Anyway, just saying hi and hopefully I'll make it to a meet or event so I can get to know a few of you guys.
