Hi everyone,
i just been speaking to a chap with a starlet and talking about some tech stuff, got me thinking and wanted to check out something i remembered posting.
anyway having a search and looking at my build threads etc,
i forgot how much a part of my life this forum was for a long period of time. i made some good friends and had good times.
now i've got time to think about it i miss it, i feel disappointed with myself i let it all go, but life has plans for us and so mine changed, i wasn't supposed to have left the site or the scene, but something peculiar happened,
i sold my starlet to a chap who manged to blow it up the very next day having driven it 600 miles home with no issue. i'm not sure what happened, but td developments rebuilt it and i supplied the parts at cost to try and help out, in hindsight i wish i refunded him and kept the car and done a mega build (wonderful thing hindsight)
the intention was to purchase an EVO6 but after 6 months of searching they were all rust buckets.
i then done the most mightiest stupid thing ever, and whilst out for a mela and having had a couple of drinks asked the girlfriend at the time (now wife) if she wanted to get a place together.
that was it the car money was used for deposit on the house, the house then took precedent, then i thought its ok, after a year i'll get something jap again, ....... nope, i had a few drinks again and proposed.....
so we ended up with an A4, a couple of years later a little boy and another couple of years after that move to bigger house...
think everyone knows this story, i really need to keep my mouth shut in regards to life changing decisions haha, everytime i have money to get back into JDM i have a drink and open my mouth lol
tbh i wouldn't have it any other way, but i do miss the scene, i am working on getting back into it but i've come to realise its now bloody expensive to get high performance jap metal these days.
soz for the long post, hello to all, hope your well, and staying safe in the face of COVID-19.
