It starts with my old car, the 1996 Toyota Celica SS-III which was severly damaged by a moron neighbor who drove into the back of it with some serious amount of throttle, he tells me his gearbox failed to reverse, I say f*** that, u missed R and hit D. This is what it looked like.
 So I went and got myself a 1996 GT4  After ages and ages in the shop, it finally came out and I spent some time preparing it for my girlfriend, we got rid of her Nissan Pulsar for half the value of the SS-III and used the money as a lump sum payment on my GT4 loan. Today she turns 19 and here is one of many presents I am about to bring her when I pick her up from work today.         She loves Elmo so I bought a fluffy Elmo for the back of her car, The cookie monster I got for her a few months back. The car has been blessed with a recently changed clutch, cambelt, iridium spark plugs (ngk), pod air filter and received new tyres (bridgestone 225/50R16), battery, oil (castrol magnatec) & filter (fram 3s-ge) change last night. Enjoy baby!!! -------------------- Mike W

Wow, real nice. Must've cost you a lot though, between the GT-4 and restoring this.
Here's to hoping she gave you an equally good present.
