yes, that time is nearly here, that time i pack up and set sail to a new vehicle is coming up.
It has been a FANTASTIC 5 years with my car, but now that I'm no longer working full time, in fact, totally unemployed, and studying full time at university, my once loved car will be for sale in a short time.
I've been through lots of learning experiences with her, in fact did my whole L's to P's to Green P's and full license in the same car!
I had her when she was that beautiful rare FSG, I had her when she had her dinged up rear quarter, I even had her when she had her ugly ass 16" wheels on her! I then put her through a respray/colour change to cosmic purple, had a phantom kit fitted at mischief motorsports, had 18" wheels put on, got defected for the phantom front bar so replaced it with an OT Style bar from carmate, only to replace that with a vertex bar through Aka! Then bought the 20" wheels on her currently. Then worked on stereo, going through 3 different head units, finally keeping my kenwood double din head unit with USB input (a god send!). Going from 4" speakers up front to 4" splits to 6" splits in custom baffles to 6x9's in the front. Yes, that list of things i used to do on my spare days is long, and hell i really have loved all my times and opportunities i have had to learn and discover new things about my car.
But after all the time I've had, all the money I've spent I will be moving onto a 5hit kicker car , for the next few years at least. Something that is somewhat reliable, but that doesn't chew a fat hole in my pocket for petrol money.

WOW, ive never actually seen pics of your car before despite you being around for a fair while, looks fantastic mate !
I had my Soarer when i was a full time uni bum ! Looks like you have already spent the cash now its time to enjoy the ride... OR just buy a cheap scooter to get you to and from uni hehehe.
How is the ride in that thing? Does much of your kit scrape ever?

I am a full-time uni bum and I drive a Soarer. But admittedly it does help when you live in a mid-size town, and uni is close enough that you could walk there in an hour... sure helps with the fuel costs. I can go fortnight to fortnight on a tank if I don't drive like a moron.
Adrain : I will have some interior shots later today.
Aka : No chance in hell! haha
James : Unemployed, full time uni bum who still has a debt on the car haha!! making repayments from a work pay out haha!! Yea the kit scrapes a bit, you will come across and miss-judge the height of a driveway, or miss a pot hole or something, however i haven't lowered it too crazy, so the front definitely has some spare room before hitting anything.
Ahh Maurice, you've spoken to her, you know pussy hasn't got THAT expensive! haha If only my interior shined as much as yours did haha.. I still haven't forgotten how clean yours was..

6X9's in the doors , that is so cool, but i got 2 questions for you: A: was it easy to fit, and put back the interior trim over it B: has this broken any window due to noise
