I found this key on my keyboard, I'm not quite sure what it is for but when pressed it produces this character ,

I've only spent about 1k on mine so far.

Spent about 10k over 2 years on the Celeste

Includes 2 engine conversions, and more than one go at most things. I reckon another 3 grand and I'll have it licked!



Then paint :(

I figured out the meaning of life, and since then every day just gets worse.

70k :o

wish I could spend 20k on a starion, got some great ideas but just a lack of funds,, and now a lack of a starion

i managed to spend $1000 on an 83 ja
(full of rust... dont trust that guy on trade me from dargavile "lift1")
$700 just to get it trucked home

then $1600 on an 86 ja
$300 to tow home after i blew the auto (doughnuts in Turangi w00t)
$600 for manual conversion(i dont think the homo even put in a starion gb in it!)

finally $200 to get it towed home to Tauranga from Hamiltion after it got written off by a toyota caldina

that comes to around $5000 grands worth of starions and in the end all i ended up with was two piles of twisted metal :cry:

anyone know where i can get another starion ?!! i want one badly !
