Every year when the rego is due I say to myself, "Do I want to put up with it for another year?" and then I find the wife's paid the rego again... Did I mention the custom paint job?  sleep:

'92 Nissan Bluebird,cept for the fact my son knocked the front corner of recently there was hardly a scratch on it when I bought it 6 months ago, I call it GRANNY car cos its got a rear windscreen shade and a front nudge bar.More electrics than my '03 XR6 and it all works perfectly.

I once bought a very early model crummydore V8, no wonder I got it cheap!!!
My modified Escort left it for dead. M Mind you the standard looking Eski embarassed a few V8 drivers especially in front of their mates. |
