AE92 Corolla Seca. Hateful, hateful car.

Tyres are so nobbly and lack so much grip, they hate any form of speed, the body roll is so bad the body scrapes against the wheels, and to top it all off, the car acts like it hates to be pushed.

But it seems to be idiot proof. My silly P plater friend hasn't managed to kill himself, but it's not exactly relaxing to be a in hatchback that seems to be on the verge of killing everyone..

So not fun! images/smilies/tongue.gif

I've been looking at one-owner German cars from the '80s, with 20-30 000 kms on the clock and that have been driven by someone who's 80 years old. Full service history obviously. Of course, this kind of VW's and BMW's cost as much as some ten-year-old cars... images/smilies/smile.gif But I'd love a Golf Mk2 or a Santana like that. The thing is, I couldn't drive them every day and keep them muddy and salty; they should be used strictly on sunny weekends.

Something along these lines:

Saab 900i

Cheap now, even with our taxes counted in. It's made to last, and nothing else looks like it.

My Mark VIII. I need to get it in for a safety inspection so I can renew the plates that expired last month. I also need to get the oil changed on it before I head up to Chicago for Christmas.

They are rare as hell. Out of about every 100 maybe a couple are manual. A buddy of mine drove one and the AWD leans towards RWD.

In the middle of a suspension upgrade. This was two weeks ago; the poor girl now has no suspension fitted at all... or brakes... or front wing, or boot lid (all being sorted out... images/smilies/wink.gif ). On my mind as I'm about to head to the workshop with another pair of the suspension struts to go rebuild them... images/smilies/wink.gif Lucky little car, though it's crippling me - health wise and financially... and it's not even on the road... images/smilies/lol.gif Gotta be sorted next week though so that I can get her into a garage this year!

(oh and my daily beater (the white one in the background) is also partially in my mind as I'm trying to work out what the new burning smell is...)

Yup, two too many cars, but I love 'em:
1991 Peugeot 309 - owned it for four years, currently the only runner and the daily driver... but great fun to drive! French though, so gotta treat her rough to keep her happy.
1989 Toyota MR2 Mk1 - owned it for two years. Love it loads. Currently undergoing a suspension upgrade...
1987 Toyota MR2 Mk1 SC - A project car that had Headgasket issues when I bought it. I've never driven it... yet...

Porsche 911.
Once I have my house paid off (5-10 years), I'm thinking of buying one.
But since it's still so far off, I'm not anywhere near having my mind made up.
