As some of you guys are aware, I sold my Stagea several months ago. Most people had guessed I had another toy lined up ... I mean, why would I sell my pride and joy right?

Well its certainly not another turbo Nissan I've replaced the Stagea with. Sometimes, there are much more important things in life than toys.

This is what I sold my Stag for:

My wife Tracy is 3 months pregnant!!! :D Its an IVF baby too. And as most people would know, IVF is certainly not cheap. My wife and I have been on IVF and trying to have a child for a number of years now. We've also been doing an extension to our house, and we'd been dipping into the funds for our house extension, to pay for some cycles of IVF. The money was going to run out inevitably, so I made the gamble ... and my gamble paid dividends. After nearly 15 years, years of IVF, and a divorce (ex-wife told me after 10 years she didn't want kids) I'm finally having my first child.

I WILL be getting a new toy in the near future ... but for now, my Bluebird is doing just fine.

:D

Congrats Ruby, awesome for you guys!

Best thing you'll ever do, enjoy every minute of it, time really flies. Sounds like you'll make great parents, you can't love em too much.

Cheers, Dale.

Awsome news mate kids are the best most important things in the world they forfill you much more than any material possesion ever could rose and i just had number 2, Eve four and a bit months ago. plenty of time for toys later on in life big congrats and all the best.

Cheers jase

Congrats, Ruby!

I've heard how expensive an IVF program can be, and even then there's still no guarantee that it will be successful, so I'm glad it's worked for you and your wife!

Congratulations!

Forget the material things in life, bringing a new life into the world is far more important.

We have 2 (kids that is) and 1 Stagea in that order.

I sold a sports car to start a family and get a mortgage- 10 years on I have absolutely no regrets!

I can always get that sports car again, but won't replace the kids for anything (the wife is another matter ha, ha)

Hoping all goes well mate, just had our first addition in November. Sold the v8 coupe for the m35 (soccer mum) baby seats fit well. Pram and great Dane do also! Good luck with it all, crazy first two weeks I tell you!

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
