it is true, search the forum right here. you'll notice a trend.......
I had around the 5th or 6th stagea in Adelaide, back then (6yrs ago, almost) there were around 50-70 series 1 C34's in the country and that was it.
I bought my S1 just as the series-2 was available. Prices for the cheapest S2 was 27k all others were 30k, I got the cheapest S1 at the time at 18k, full Dayz and got a bargain, with genuine kms (books), all other S1's started at 20k most were 24k
M35 was not available
'Twas a great time to be on the stagea forum, EVERYONE was nice. Helpful, considerate of others. in fact a few members helped me just by being there, when my hours were darkest.
Now, well you can keep it. Doesnt feel like 'home' anymore. Seems the keyboard warrior attitude of the Internet in general spilled into the sau stagea section around 2yrs ago.
Seems these days performance cars are so cheap kids straight off their Ps can pick one up, with attitude to match. When I got off P's VR's & ED's were still over 20k so there was no chance of performance RB's unless you dealt drugs. That attitude never made it back in the day, thesedays that attitude seems to be the norm?
pfft kids thesedays
