Default What to buy my self a xmass present !!

I've been saving and I now have the money for a sti but can't find one I like ! Want a new age with some good power but there doesn't seem to be much about wrong time of year I suppose

Nothing really was just saying I've been without one for four years and now I'm ready just can't find one that ticks the right boxes it's just a bit frustrating

I wouldn't use Christmas as a reason to get one! I said to myself if I passed a certain exam I would get an STi. Luckily passed but couldn't find one I liked despite building myself up to it! 9 months later found one! Defo hold out until you see one as tempting as it is!

Be sure to get yourself a 2005 model with DCCD and Wider rear track.
