Another Sentia owner here from Auckland New Zealand
Hey guys I have finally got a VIP platform for myself to work on and finally have had a chance to wright about myself and the new ride that i own. First of all my name is Stan, I am 22 years of age and live in NZ.
My first VIP styled car that I have come across was a 1997 Nissan Gloria Y33 and boy what a sweet ride it was. To tell you the truth Im not the kind of guy who can just stick to one car and work on it and keep it for a long time. My cars normally last at most a year and then I get tired and decide to sell to get something new. I had cars like EVO4, Mitsi Mirage, BMW, and many more lol i lost track. But anyway out of them all Gloria was the bomb. I had all the intentions to keep it, but unfortenoutly it was stolen off me in March this year on a Saturday afternoon, 2 days before alarm was due to be fitted. I was gutted as hell, but insurance paid out in full.
About a month after my Gloria was stolen I could not find another one that i could afford, I mean they were twice the price i paid for my one. But anyway one thing lead to another and I came across this video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v_JV-oQZXzM" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false which inspired me to go for another VIP platform which is HE Sentia. I mean might not be concidered VIP in the states but here in NZ its yet another big luxurious car that if done up right can catch eyes of many. Besides its got that VIP look Im after. So anyways I found a dealership which had a Sentia for sale and they could not refuse my offer. And a pocketfull of cash later and a tempting discount I bought my second VIP platform that i can start working on, and believe me I am not selling it any time soon.
Car is a
1996 Mazda Sentia HE
3l V6 Engine
Completely stock atm
The thing is as well that so many things are similar to Gloria, like the foot brake with a pull release switch next to steering wheel, petrol tank is in the boot which is still huge and so on.
As soon as Ill get some pix Ill post them on here, for now just happy to be part of mazda929.org
Ill post all of the pix later when ill have some time on hand.
