TALKIN' DIRTY WITH…TWISTY
Name: Dave Krenske
Location (town and state): Gods Country, Sunshine Coast, QLD
What do you do for a crust? Civil Designer. Design Roads, Subdivisions, Stormwater Drainage, Sewer Lines, Water Lines, etc...
When did you join the A4WDM forums and why? Joined Aug 2003, almost when it first started. Not sure exactly why, wasn't a member of any other forums then, I think it was to try and find out more info on how to turbo the V6 in my 4runner.
What do you drive and how long have you owned it: Got a 94 Model RV6 4Runner....bought it almost 5 years ago. Also recently bought a 78 FJ40 Cruiser to use mainly offroad so the 4runner can stay bling and shiny!
What modifications have you done to it in that time:
Heaps!!!

Who is your dream navvy and why?
Will suck up to the missus and say my wife Loz since she's a classic to go 4x4ing with. Next in line would be Ryano from Fourbys cause of the sexy shorts he wears when navvin (share the love!)
Beer, bourbon, wine, whisky or soft-drink, what's your poison (type and brand)?Beer.....Most of the time XXXX, but favourite is Hahn Premium!
Who'd win in a boxing match between Harold from Neighbours and Alf from Home and Away, and why: Struth....would have to be Alf....the guy is a flamin champ!
If your 4WD had a personality, what would it be? Jeez, dunno.....I guess the 4runner would be a sexy model struttin her stuff, and the FJ would be a cute receptionist not afraid to get here hands dirty......hehehe
If you could say one thing to our nation's politicians, what would it be? Hmmm....Got a spare seat int he truck this weekend, going wheeling out Glasshouse, jump in and come see what your missing out on!
What's your most memorable moment you've spent with your 4WD? Probably rolling my first 4runner out at LCMP. Was an experience I hope not to ever go through again.
Who would you like to see join the forums and become a regular poster? The guy who invented beer....
