| Hi all, my name is Chris and I am dad to Nellers2001, Nelly89 and Nelly08. 
I currently run a gorgeous and as-new condition pearlescent white Toyota/Lexus Soarer 2.5L straight six twin turbo with about 75K on clock. Power/torque is about 310-330hp/270lb.ft It has 255 40 17 (9J) and 235 45 17 (8J) split-rim BBS round things with modded intake and cone filter (courtesy Sumiyaka), stainless front exhaust and decat with the rest standard. It has a beautiful sound and apparently all you hear when I overtake at 70 (!) is a sort of loud swoosh! The boys want more noise and waste no time telling me each and every day. Doh!!
However, I am considering changing her for a forged Toyota MR2 2000 Turbo with twin intakes, intercooler mods, etc. If I do, she will be track-dayed and we'll see who does best then in the Nel Clan 
I love m/bikes with previous ones ranging from Norton to Jap to Ducati. Haven't had one for a couple of years now as I don't want to be hypocritical when dissuading the boys from riding one themselves 
It's getting harder though; I am thinking about one of those new Royal Enfield 'Trials' bikes for green laning and forest riding - sort of have tent, will travel. Maybe, if the boys sort themselves out with one each we can play bikes in Sheepy country together!
Anyway, I digress. I'll post some piccies of 'TerrySaurus' when I'm on my other computer.
Don't worry Sam, Al and Josh. I have no intention of trying to kick your asses on track - I'll let you win as usual as it always seems to make you feel good. What parents will do for their kids, eh!

Welcome over Chris (from now on known as Nellers Senior!). Sounds like you've got a healthy interest in all things petrol. Will be good to see the Nel Clan, as you put it, out on track together. Should be interesting. | |
