Default Who got you into the car scene?

For me it was my dad, growing up with him having XR3's, RS2000's, Cossies and a few EVO's. Just wish i could afford to have a car as fast as his lol. What about you?

I'm the only one in my family that can drive so it wasn't any of them lol
For me it was the missus 3 years ago, constantly asking me "when am i going to pass so we can go on trips" etc
Guess she is the reason that got me into all this.

Ever since i was little i loved cars and wanted to mod them tbh. Shit like need for speed never helped my case.

When i was 14 i begged my parents for a car to mod for when i was 17 nd able to drive, that didnt happen tho. So i started once i got a job

my dad got me into the car scene too, used to steal his car mags he got when i was younger, he has a nice stack of them now lol.
always loved car games on any console, NFSU2 was just the best though always had model cars, remote control ones, anything cars id like. now i have my own i realise just how much you need to modify it to how you imagine it as a kid xD
