Default These arrived today, a bit sad......maybe ???

Well the wife thinks I'm sad for buying them but I really don't care. If she knew about half the stuff I buy for my car I'd be single by now (hopefully she'll find out soon as I've had about as much of her cooking as I can take )


As I own a STI V2 RA Vlimited I thought these would be a lovely addition. The brochures are originals from August 95 when the V2 cars were released and the Vlimited one is quite hard to come by i believe.











So what do you reckon, am I as sad as she says......

Managed to find a chap in Japan who had them. They weren't cheap but think they were worth it.

I can tell you something, if I went to buy a car and the owner had these to show me or possibly threw them in with the sale I would sleep a bit better that night.

Sad? Nothing wrong with enjoying your passion. That's what I call being an enthusiast and, for me, that's the opposite to sad

Nice brochures btw I miss those days...

I did exactly the same, although my car is a UK classic

A great idea to get them translated though.

That's a nice collection there Dean.
The chap I got mine from has many more, I'd like to buy the rest from him but think I better focus my bank account on the actual car first....
