Well I came to Oz not all that long ago needing to buy a car within 24 hrs of landing in sydney. Knew a lot about cars, and had 2 basic rules to a reliable cheap hack - it musn't be a ford or holden! Jap woudl be the way, e.g. a corrola. Further more, it wanted to be manual, and not white (for her). However, coming from the land of fwd (boring) my heart was saying preferably rwd with big power. What did I get? White EB auto wagon! But at the end of the day, it was the best I could find on the day, and now she's grown on me. I love the brawny rwd "big aussie missile" nature of the thing. Yes as I expected the build quality is carp compared to my Scooby, and it is so old fashionned it's not funny, but I love it to death. So I ended up keeping it (she drives the scooby), and now it has new wheels, is getting gas shortly, and then all new suspenders. :o) Got to love character. But hell she needs a manual to use that grunt!
