Marbsie's SP20

MAR85Y · 15-07-2013, 02:57 PM

Hey Guys,

In May 2012 I bought my first car, an 03 323 Astina Shades in metallic grey. I modified a few things like the wheels, sound system, exhaust, headlights etc. Last week on Thursday the 11th of July 2013 whilst I was driving to work, my car was pulled out on and in turn resulted in a big collision and my car was written off. As devastating as it was to see my pride and joy destroyed in a split second I had no other option but to move on and purchase a new car. Yesterday, Sunday the 14th of July 2013 I purchased myself an 03 323 Astina SP20 in the same (or similar) metallic grey. I pick it up on Friday and plan to begin modification.

Once I can grab some photos off my phone of both my past and present cars I will upload them here. I look forward to speaking with you all and sharing my SP20 journey here.

Cheers, Marbsie.

Dont worry about not having your greens dude.
We will usually just stick to the speed limit of the slowest P plater. Lol

Besides... wouldnt mind kicking back and going nice and slow this cruise... I know I said that last time... and I know andy and I ended up absoluteley blasting the natio.
But this time I will bring the mrs

lol

Looks like yourself, simo and I chillin at the back

See you there! (Non optional)

Welcome btw, clean lookin ride

ben carney · 15-07-2013, 08:09 PM

Even when we hit highways generally little Matty would slot in between me and andy and just cruise at 100.
I won't be fast, because I'll have the slowest car there
