All the best to Steves 4!
It will 6 years of ownership next month for me and 47,000 miles.
I've only had a reconditioned turbo, new clutch, both 8's and arms, full exhaust, a few sets of tyres and a respray! About £40 a week all in plus that again in petrol. Cheap I say :)
Previously a UK WRC ST205 & a CS (UK !*%)
Now.... a 1970 Triumph 13/60 convertible, a Hyindai Amica and a Honda CR-Z Hybrid :)

6 months on my current 4, but 17 years spent with Toyotas in general, mainly GT4's, Supras and 70's celicas.
Gaffer tape is like "the force" - it has a light side, a dark side and it holds the universe together.

There's nothing that shouts "Poor Workmanship"  more than wrinkles in the gaffer tape.....

We are the collective... We are the Fourg.

Parts will be assimilated.

Bought my first gt4 in 1995, a 3 year old CS. Had 5 fours in total, 2xCS, 1xRC, 1x205WRC and 1x165. All models driven round the Nurburgring too and the ST165 was the most fun :-)

Running around in an RC at the moment so nearly 15 years of continuous ownership.

Blimey, that names a blast from the past.
I remember buying my relief valve from you not long after i bought my Four. Last i heard you had chopped in your 4 for a Clio V6? Nice to hear your still involved in the Fours though  :)
