How Old Are You Staj Owners

[Terminal]

Yeah that's something i've noticed, every 3rd car is a bloody subaru these days, i'm sick of them. especially at the coast

[Sydneykid]

I bought the Stagea to tow the race car and fill the back with the necessary stuff for a race weekend. Better than the Foulcan we had before, and the Stagea is a much better mobile spare parts bin. There are some bits that will fit the R32GTST if need be.

cheers

PS; it's none of your business how old I am

I'm 30 going on 20. Sometimes I feel old, like when some 'youngster' runs around me on the league field and I can't catch them like I could a few years ago.

Ahhh, the vigour of youth.

Maybe the question should have been 'how young are the Stagea owners', SK!

Ah, finally a stagea owner (excluding myself) who was at least born AFTER I started to drive, though he still would have been in nappies…

And if you think you've slowed down between 20 and 30, wait a bit longer...

Mental age: 5

Physical age: 28

Bought the stag cause the 33 just didnt cut it for size with a family of 4 to drive around including two small kids.

Was not planning to buy it, just came up at a BARGAIN price and just seemed logical and just had to upgrade

[japhearse]

i'm 36 i hope that dont make me the oldest but the guy i bought the car off was 58

[marc2]

younger than i thought, gotta love the staj and its no comparision to a commodore for driving comfort, the stagea has about 50mm thick floor deadening under the carpet and commos have about 3mm thick wool haha 

2 sunroofs are the best feature ever

Weeeellll - let me blow your 'young' theory out the door. After 5 arthroscopies (knee surgery) plus a major knee re-construction, plus 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks and the owner of a Series 2 Stagea ........

There is a few numbers after fifty - I fit in there. BUT, and it is a big BUT, you are as young as you feel and life is a ball.

The reason for the Stagea - it is different, the dogs need quality transport and the tax man knows I use it for work.

ps See all Stagea owners have something in common - knees, dogs, and cars!!!

:lol: hahahaha... too true! although fairly soon I'll be 1 less patella (kneecap)! does that make me only a half owner?? 7 surgeries going on 8 (spent 8months now in a full leg brace with absolutley no leg movement), and pretty much crippled. Was a footy player with some potential (read 201cm tall and 120 gym-type kgs!), but now a expert recliner tester........

But I love the Stag, and riding my Fireblade damn hard thru the Adelaide Hills keeps me relatively sane and feeling immortal.

I'm looking at my first knee reco in about a year i think, but this is due to my taekwondo competition fighting, also a bit of alcohol helped it out.

Auto's are great for that though, the first time i buggered my knee i had a manual 33, it sucked to drive. i learned to shift without the clutch pretty well though

Yep - I had my left leg out of action for about 9 months a few years ago, rapidly got the hang of changing gears without the clutch... Not that hard when you have to!

Well, I'm 31, and seeing as I picked up my car today, I figured I could finally post in here...

Oh, and it's a MANUAL!!!

Yes, I have two knees! Yes, I have a car! Yes, I have a dog!

The Corolla in the shot attached is my old car, now my sister's, but it will still be my daily...

[AlexCim]

Manual converted right?

Got any interior shots of surround/dash/details on the conversion?

I bought the car off a guy called Alan (username on these forums is "Argo"), so any info he's already provided is all I have.

Here's a link to what he's previously given... His info starts on page 5, post #63 onwards...

Cheers all,
