Even though your work involves (d) sharp bits of metal,nails,hammers,cement and a dangerous building site you still can attribute most of your cuts and scars to the starlet.

When you always check for rear discs on the back of a starlet

When you always listen to the turbo spool of a starlet to guess which turbo they're using.

When performance and handling parts come in front of tax and nct.

When you've spent double the price of your car..on your car.

When most of your mobile numbers have names like starlet parts,tgtt or GT after the name.

Oh and when you can tell anyone what socket for every bolt under the bonnet off hand.

- your passenger seat squeaks
- your window regulators break (eventually)
- you put your window down to listen to the turbo
- you shit yourself on a slippery road

The windscreen wiper thing is so true, I didn't think I had an indicator when I first got mine.

....people ask what the car is and how old, and are amazed when you give a wee smile and tell them its 14 years old (Glanza), they are like wtf it looks so clean and new compared with their wrecked 2008/9 megane or whatever.

Whereas anyone else you speak to, worries that buying an car older than 2/3 years old is a shit heap.

...and a bonus of having it a few years, your missus accepts/likes it, and comes back with a smile on her face when she has borrowed it to go to work for a week, driving like she stole it with music banging lol

The day i picked it up, it took me a while to work it out, thought i had it sorted so on the motorway, i would end up flashing people instead of spraying my windscreen!

Miss my Glanza!
