Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Finally got my internet connected today so i'm hoping to up my post count and finally overtake Holmes to the number one spammer position :)

To justify this post, here some pics of my new Celica and my new flat. Its the middle balcony, 2nd from the top just beside the blue and red bit :)

That's what I like to hear! Optimism.

Should I bring my axle stands just in case?

Nice car, best celica body they ever made imho. Didn't know they did GT4s with a wing lower than a mile ;) Is it less scary than the MR2? A friend of mine's got an import GT4 and he's.. satisfied with the boost :)

sorry, for some reason, I've got a soft spot for the one before with the pop-ups. :wink:
I loved all celicas up until the latest one, which looks scrawny.

carlos seinz was the best variant, although....gotta admit mr murf....thats one mighty fine hunk of japcrap you got there.

(most of the 'seinz' ones have been thrashed to death by wannabeee rallyers now anyways, so you cant find good ones)

Cheers Rob :)

I nearly bought a Carlos Sainz GT4 but i went for the ST205 GT4 as it was lighter, had an extra 50Hp looks better and is newer so wont have rust and has better suspension etc etc.
You can get a special edition of the ST205 that has water injection, anti lag and loads of other homolgation stuff, its basically the same as the rally car, they didnt make many though and i couldnt find any half decent ones plus i think they are all white!
