It's a long time forum joke. If you need to ask, you're too young!

Isnt the point of the tea pot pic to contribute something useless and nothing to do with the topic?

OK we lost the auction. 2 hours to go, it has gone over our group's maximum bid.

Wasn't to be.

Keep an eye out for parts on Ebay again, if he sells it for bits! Don't pay too much though!

Sorry to hear you missed out guys, it would have been a great buy. I still have my ST170 springs (they were removed from the car at just under 20,000 km) and I'm looking to get rid of them as I have sold the car. I was going to put them in the Quokka (a great little buy and sell publication we have here in the west), but I thought I would see if anyone here is interested first. Please PM if interested.

$2,275 from memory. Just out of our reach, however ther would have been a higher maximum bid.

The missus didn't want the car shell in the front yard.
Kinda work out good because if we did win, I had to give up mine full exhaust system.
I'll be on the look out for another St170 for us.
Watch out for St170 parts on ebay anytime soon.
You were right about the bid going around $2500, and I was wrong...lol
