I've reached a milestone of 6000 posts on this special forum, it also marks my 10 year anniversary of joining here!
Please feel free to congratulate me on sitting in front of my computer far more than I should.
In all seriousness, a thank you goes to all the great members that have come and gone through the years on this forum, it's been a priceless database for shared Soarer knowledge throughout the years.
Of course, a thanks to Peter Nitschke for keeping the forum running for all these years.

Wow.. 6000 posts is a lot..
So if each post takes 5mins thats 30,000 minutes..
Which is 500 hours, which is 20.8 days..
That's a lot of computer time on soarer central.
It was all worth it i'm sure. |

Great that you are still here. How long have you owned your Soarer? |

Hehe, many hours of reading too!
I've had 7 Soarers to date Scott, had my current two since the middle of 2014 |

Looking forward to the next 10!

They will be a car to watch the prices tumble.
Best, closest thing Toyota has made to fill the shoes of the Soarer. |

I was supposed to, but got summoned by my father to be a taxi driver to the airport / Fleetwood Mac at the same time. Had to miss it! |

It's hard to say Scott.
At the moment it's easier to state items that are not replaced, I'll say;
- Body Panels (All glass, except front windscreen)
- Chassis (including control arms and all the miscellaneous under-body trims)
- Headliner and Bottom half of interior trim (beige)
- Boot trims
- Fuel Tank
- Some essential electrics (Like fuse boxes, indicators, etc.)
- Combination meter
- Interior vanity light
Can't think of anymore stuff...
Help me think of some??? |

I have been lucky then. I've only replaced airbags and coilpack. I put a cheapo Chinese one in there and it failed after 2 years. I had a crack in radiator. I also had the dreaded power steering pump leak into the alternator. Other then that it's never let me down. My LCA bushings need to be done now but still drives ok just squeaks a bit. |
