So the first full year of ownership has passed...


My first pics of my baby last year, totally standard except an Apexi Exhaust...


Then followed brakes,


First FTO meet (notice the comical ride height with mine


A good set of RR figures proved the V6 still preforms well, even after 112000 km's and 11 years

New Wheels


New springs

Looks soo much better low


So 1 year, 0 breakdowns, 12000miles, 1 litre of oil, 2 services, 1 set of discs and pads, 1 rear ender, 1 new front bumper, 1 new rear bumper, new wheels, de-cat, downpipe development and a hell of a lot of attention...
Thanks to the FTOOC for help
Good news is a supercharger is in development too

I thought it was an aston for a fraction of a second.

Matt, you forgot to add that you once manged to overtake a Rover 216 GTI! Surely the highlight of any ownership experience???

I should try keeping a car that long. Its just finding one I like.

Since selling the Celica in June, I have had a Golf GTi (sold end of Nov) and a Range Rover (sold Boxing Day)
And I only had the Celica 7 months. And the MR2 before that 6 months. And the Mini before that 8 months. And the Golf before that 3 months (I broke it royally though)

Maybe the next car will be the right one??

Right, well its January now, so you can tell us

Have you sold the 'tubby??

If you're not going to tell us, you could at least start a guessing thread and give us some clues (preferably make & model!!!)
