Old, utilitarian, bumpy, rugged, slow, noisy.

A heart ache and heart break. I love it. 19 years old and a few problems to fix. Goes everywhere, takes everything you can throw at it. Slow as hell, hates climbing and accelerating. Goes forever. Always an adventure. Can't wait to bring her back to Ireland.

My old car that I sold last week, I miss it, was a lovely car

My new car that I picked up last week, got around to giving it a polish and wax today, must say i'm loving it:)

In the next few weeks i'm going to de-tar and clay it also, half tempted to get a DA polisher

Fuel or Daysul?

BillJ · 02-03-2013 09:43PM

It's a 318ci, it's the later 2.0l 143hp engine.

Wish I could have bought a 325 but couldn't afford it really. Could see myself buying a 330 in the future, possibly, maybe, if i ever have enough money

:pac:

Thanks! Really am delighted with it, it has the m-sport leather interior as well, don't know myself coming from the corolla!

It's dark and a camera phone, but not often it's clean so thought i'd snap a few.

Ah sure she's 12 years old, you wouldn't be wanting something so old :pac:

Do you know if it would qualify for motor tax like a camper van? Some of those toyota bush campers have a cooker and bed ect.

Aye, that and a load of other stuff that was due. Most of the credit for how well she looks has to go to the previous owners, 1 UK then 1 here for about 5 years. Alloys that are as unmarked as those after 12 years is a good sign.

Tbh, I jump all over any mechanical issues and the oil still has a lovely colour after 5k miles since the last change, but I just don't have any time to give the exterior much loving. Clay bars and paint corrections are something I'll keep on my 'to do' list.

Man she's looking great. It's a great colour! Better than silver :P
