I own a beat up old '95 Lancer, but seeing as I haven't got off my arse to get my license yet, I guess I don't drive it.

I get driven around in my bf's car more:

I drive a 96 MR2 (NA - Aus Delivered). One day it will get an Engine transplant but for now the Engine is in far too good nick to be swapped out.

Recently bought a little brother for it (88 MR2 -Aus delivered). Which is primarily the girlfriends car (part of the big push to get her into a licence) but I use it as a runabout quite regularly due to the stupidity of petrol costs. Little ripper of a car, handles like a dream.

Bought it end of 2004 for $16k w/ rego, full electrics, sunroof, spoiler, alloys, faux-woodgrain dash (omg), AWD and cruise. Fucking love it.

Just had to get four new tyres for it today though, set me back $500 :(
Good man :up: I've seen thos wood dashes, they look gangster

I have a '91 gen 1 Liberty wagon AWD 2.2L with cruise. It was one of those fuck around models with air bag suspension that failed on me 6 months after I bought it. Despite being totally impractical to drive, it was completely dumped on all fours and looked MAAAAAD! So now it has brand new Monroe struts that I put in myself... $1700 just for the parts. I was very poor that week...

I used to have the same gen GX Liberty Wagon. I off-loaded it after the air-bag suspension started to go. It was a good car, nice to drive, and easy to fold down the back seats and chuck a mattress in.

How's the headgasket treating you Madmya?

I had an EF with XR bodykit and tickford bits.. So kinda an XR6 without the round lights.. Was a good car but for that fatal flaw.. Pitty the people who fixed it under warranty were incompetant. Ended up getting a new gasket kit and fixing it with a mate over a weekend and fucking it off. I just couldn't trust it anymore after what I had seen done by the so called pro's...

No, it's not riced up in any way, although when the car breaks down he always starts looking at getting it done.

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger! ;)

She'll be fine. I've put the fear of god into her about snap oversteer and besides I think you will find people finding themselves facing the rong way are driving at the edge of their limits and most definately above the law.

If theres one thing you should never be doing on a road it is driving at your limit... Add in any tiny variable and you got nothing. **yeah yeah gramps etc etc **

Yeah but an MR2? At least it's an AW11. Those SW20s are fucking death traps in the rain in the hands of an inexperienced driver.

Probably the pre 93+ models. No such issues with my 96. Then again I don't have boost cutting in mid corner nor am I an inexperienced driver...

Anyhow the AW11 will be fine

God it's been a long time since I've watched sale of the century, so that would have to be a no.

Fuck I wish mate. Seen quite a few of them around, that was at a customers house where I went to once so snapped it up. Seen this mint as black one in Kensington a few times, sex on wheels.

I dont own a car, I own a mountain bike. :(

Absolutely fine. I haven't had a problem mechanically. Electronically though, well that's a whole new story. One of the computer chips in it is fucked. Trying to lock the door the normal way makes the locks go up and down and up and down for about 10 seconds. The locking button inside the car doesn't work at all anymore either. As with cruise control.

But other than that, 295,000km and still going strong :up:

I reckon they're so good for a first car, you can get them so cheap.

LOL the psyco locks.... that happened a few times to me.. I used to just yank the handle as soon as the lock went up. Seemed to stop it in its tracks.
