I bought my s2 turbo when i was 18, I'm 26 now and the thing has barely been on road for a year in all that time, I've thrown silly money at it and I'm always tinkering and changing stuff, sometimes i think f*ck it I'm breaking it for parts but then ill spend a few hours working on it again and all love comes back!
Don't think ill ever get rid unless as said above family or something similar needs funds!
