What Car?
 
Do you/did you have in UK...and what have you got now?

I had a beautful dark blue Celica Sport that went like a bomb....loved that car

Now I have an old Ford Fairmont that is a bomb lol - so comfy though - I can drive for ages and not get tired...doesn't have the thrill factor of the Celica though :(

I had a Corsa in the UK (just a run around) and hubby had a Mondeo. We were hoping to get some sort of 4x4 when we got here but just couldnt afford it. We've ended up with a Toyota Corolla Station Wagon - very nice it is too! :)

Can i just ask can you get Landrover freelander's in oz? As i drive one now and love it. Not that good for its turning circle in a tight parking space but great for visting the rural areas.
