Me and my dreams of a RSi

Well lets just say it started of on a good note, checked the Ad out on Gumtree and as a Toyota fan was very interested. Called the guy to check if it was still available, and guess what? It was.

The next day I called the guy to arrange to meet and it was all good, I was very excited! I mean what guy wouldn’t be. We met as his place and checked the car out, first time I saw it in person I loved it! It was like seeing a naked woman for the first time LOL. We talked and talked, until we came to a agreement and both were happy with the price. I then had to get my finance sorted out so that’s what I did, got to the place and that’s where all the bad news started.

I couldn’t get the finance I need so I called my dad to see if he could maybe arrange something, While that was going on I called the guy to ask if I could test drive the car and he said yes. We then met at a local garage and actually saw the car driving for the first time, the car was so low you had to lock the wheel when you go over a speed bump. Wow the day I was waiting for! To test drive this thing.

Got in the car and went up the road, but like a normal person would. Turned around about 500 metres up the road and was on my way back to the garage. He then told me to open the car up,  when I heard that I had this big smile on my face! Like really BIG.
Pulled away in 1st taking the car to about 8 000rpm then snap into 2nd, lots of wheel spin when changing into 2nd and still even more power in 3rd. that’s the gear you can really drag the car out and see the speed of it, got back to the garage and was extremely happy with everything.

Only to find out 2 days later that my father was also declined for finance because he was still paying he’s car off, DAMN! Maybe one day in the future.
