don't think anyone is still interested in this column - but it keeps me busy!

I find it quite depressing that this is the best thing on eBay at the moment - someone please find something better and put me out of my misery!

ebay sucks

i wanne buy a car, but a car i want (i realy realy want a BMW E30/E36 318is) is to expensive (insurance, taxes, ...) so i should first look for sth stupid until i have some more money

problem is there are WAAAAY to many nice cars out there for no money

looking for
peugeot 205 CTI? 1000€
ford escort XR3? 1000€
ford escort RS? 1400€
mazda 323 1.8 16v? 2000€
renault R19 16v? 500€

i'm realy getting depressed right now

an advice, don't look for a car until you know you're gonna buy it the next day, or it just kills you from inside
