Sorry I just had to share this... I sent an email to triple j with this pic and they read it on air. Bahaha.

It's amazing how small things amuse my little mind.

I heard it on the radio. Apparently some Pollie driving in a Rukus hit a footballer and killed him. Teams coach said it was the end of the world.

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

it is.. it is. I am one of the three people who bought one. Although, to be fair I got a MASSIVE discount and am novating it.

And it's a build 3 with the sunroof, the massive stereo and the leather.

:( OK, it's not that impressive, but a 2.4L in a car the size of a Corolla, and the space of a station wagon will do me just fine until I can affor a track car

Personally I love the styling it was this or a nissan cube, but they are too slow.

I would've bought one but the Toyota mindframe of "all instrument clusters must be in the centre of the dash" quickly threw me off wanting one.
