Finally bought a car that might be worthy of mention ....3l Scooby Outback....seemed pretty cheap, but there are so many of them here in NZ I guess it's not surprising! It's a fresh Japanese import, 2004 136k km and seems pretty good. Only issue so far is the tailgate lock doesn't work...Google suggests they're prone to cable breaks where they go from the body to tailgate. I'll have look once the bloody rain stops!
Any thoughts on what else is likely to go wrong?! -
So we're here....arrived Thursday.... Still getting over the jetlag, but managed to buy a car and start looking at places to live.....next to find a job!
As a kid living in the countryside, one of these Montreals crashed into our fence and was left on our drive for a while..... unlocked so I was able to play very cool driver in it.... thought it was an awesome looking thing even then and even accident damaged!
