Default How Many Of You 'Upgaded' To a New Shape??

I remember most of the 'old skool' cars pretty well, but what have those of you that are still on here got now??
Did you wait for the bug-eyes to disappear then buy a new shape?
Are you still driving the same old Scoob?
Or like me, have you moved onto smaller and worse things??????

I went from an MY00 uk turbo (with ppp etc) to an MY03 JDM STi, far the better of the 2 is the JDM car and mine looks like a wrx (ha ha at "mr ctr sucker who was trying to show off to his girlfriend and ended up looking very silly and small in my rear view mirror" )

It is a Spec C but most people think its a wrx (mr ctr and the other muppet in the montego turbo who also had a go at keeping up )
I prefer the anaminity of the car, even though its an STi

'Traded' up from MY99 to one of the first UK Sti's. Kept it 6 months, terrible car. Swapped it for a Merc. That was 2 years ago...


Ordering a MY05 SL with PPP next week, keeping the Merc for the wife / family days out.. Best of both worlds...

Had a MY99, didn't like the bug-eye so waited for the blob-eye and got a better specified car for 6K less than my MY99 cost (euro import)

'ello Stef, blimey.
I still have my old 22B. In the meantime I've bought a MY01 Bugeye, and sold it as it was heavy and slow, a MY03 STIPPP blobeye, which I bought to replace the 22B but found out I preferred the 22, so sold that too. Now I've got a new model 911 C4S and about to get an Audi A3 Sportback 2.0T to keep the 22 company...it's a tough old life, but I;m still trying to catch up with Harj's dream garage.
