What would life be like, if we didn't have ST162 .net ?

I don't think there would be any of these critters left... Gone the way of the Yugo, Festiva, etc... Just little blurps on a Wikipedia page...

 

nah.........life would have gone on.....one way or another......i didnt even join a forum until after i wrecked my first one.

 

Me too would miss sharing experience and reading about what others do, a lot!
The site is also a very serious knowledge base dedicated to these cars.

 

my celi would've been going on to 7 years without getting driven. 10k KM's less than it has been able to provide me. but then again i'd be driving a different 4th gen since i was specifically test driving used 4th gen's before i got mine.

 

Probably would've sold my car, and ended up car-less... :ack2 (Even today, my parents are bipolar about me looking at buying used cars/fixing up old cars)

 

Would have less knowledge about the 4th gen and ignorant about the many MANY 4th gen drivers all over the world. We all probably wouldn't have this much of a love for these cars if it weren't for this site :cool . I know I've loved 4th gens ever since 7th grade but no where near as much as now.

 

:bowdown I know with out this site I'd be on Celicatech more often... but the love there for 4th gens isn't close is it is here :cheers .

 

There are 2 ladies currently on the site - Turbodog and MR2guru - both have GT4's and Guru's
is spectacular with a ST215 motor, Scion rims etc.

I was on all the other sites too, but only really started learning and appreciating once I joined ST162.
Then the site disappeared toward the end of 2008 and I was lost for a long time.
Thankfully Willie bought the site and with help from Rye (and others) was able to get it running
again at this address.

Had I found the site earlier I would not have made as many mistakes (sold/gave away a LOT of valuable stuff)
and we've been on a steep learning curve ever since.
Over the years we've gotten to know each other and someday I'd like to visit the friends I've made
in UK, OZ, France, USA, Fijii, Canada, and here in NZ

I can't stress enough the importance of supporting the site, it cost's money and valuable time
to make it happen and I'd hate to have it disappear again.

 

And ireland??? :lol2

 

Nah, don't like green beer :cheers

Seriously, I meant Europe, Australasia, N&S America, Africa, Asia

 

I don't remember, obviously they weren't as committed.

I'm slowly getting the guys here together, going to see 3 GT4's under construction this easter
weekend and we're going to a historic car race meet on Sunday.

I spotted a lady in a white vert yesterday and there's another black vert f/s on Trademe.
The yards are pathetic atm, no Celi's at all to strip - so it's getting harder and harder for those
trying to restore cars.

The guys on Toyspeed NZ are trying to get a GT4 club going, heaps of ST205's and a few ST185's
but bugger all ST165's sofar.
A few weeks ago I saw 20+ MR2's cruizin the backroads, so there's hope

 

It's good to have all you with the motivation and drive for these cars. It's like a welcoming and fullfilling feeling that someone is actually keeping the 4th gen Celica and all related, the site, the meets, the people. It's just amazing to see such dedication. I can see how much value is placed into these cars and I'm not talking about money. I'm talking about loyalty, of some sort. Lol you all know what I mean. It's love, it's the Celica.

 

woulda left my car a beater and probably woulda sold it

 

yea you guys have :cheers
