True, i am being paid. You could do a badda and drink yourself to sleep but thats not really healthy

Same as yours without gas I suppose ($2500 to convert) afaik they do 240-ish

I'm sure either of us could drink more litres per hour than our cars could!

[Blue Supra]

I dunno about that Fairy gets pretty thirsty when you put the hammer down but then again so do I

There are some seriously interesting cars on here for stupidly cheap. Stuff ive never even heard of! Theres some mad HJ-HZs that id love to do up and even a Valiant Ranger!

Rangers are cool cars imo

I once had an 80,000 km VJ exactly like that white one, did burnouts for 20 metres on a 4,000 rpm clutch dump

I once had a little yellow car that would do MAD one leggers if you had 4 people hold it up by the back left wheel arch

That first Mercedes looks very cool....but the K's worry me. I don't care how properly built they are, there still epically high.

Mine has another 85,000 kms over that one, has reco heads but otherwise with its original motor that runs well and still using no oil...

Haven't checked the car out but I know of a few people in the club who have good running W123s with significantly higher kays than this one in the advert

[IBrake4Rainbows]

I'm guessing, just by the cost, it's going to be run into the ground by it's next owner. especially when they're advertising to students.

I'll give you a hint on that one - we're not made of money

Mr's N Like the power also.

Woah. So we had a blackout, my computer shit itself (both hard drives melted), and...well now I'm back. Turns out a friend of a teacher at school is selling a Daihatsu Charade, which I can see myself driving. Well within my price range, 5spd manual.
Anything particularly wrong with them? I mean I reckon they're alright, but that's based entirely on looks. :P

[clutch-monkey]

they're not... brilliant. but for the price?
they are good on fuel and so far as i know quite dependable.
i will admit when it's someone else's charade, they have an obscure charm when dicking about

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Charades handle abuse very well.

<shifty>

If it's cheap FTW!..

A friend had one No comment the Corolla they gave him to spin around in was better.
