Shame this is automatic. So original! Low mileage! Excellent project/classic, etc.

Convert it to manual dude.
Do the conversion on your lawn

well, that Geo we've been working on is a real pain in the ass.

we might just sell it for parts and not deal with it anymore

Only just seen this post.

Don't really have a lawn, just a slab of concrete out the back of the flat, where people park their cars. It's definitely going to see some work once I get a car.

Did you mentioned which car you will buy?

I seen a Vauxhall Zafira making a lot of noise today. I think it was a debadged VXR. The guy seen me staring at it in ASDA car park, so he floored it.

Shame it was a Zafira, but it was fast and sounded good.

With a 0-60mph time of 7.2 seconds and a top speed of 144mph the Zafira VXR is the fastest people carrier on the market by a significant margin. This is courtesy of a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine with 240bhp - the same unit that powers the Astra VXR.

:O

[Inferno.]

Was it locked then?

[deadlegion]

Yup, but it isn't now

[Inferno.]

Yeah but no one wants to talk about a Zafira VXR.

[deadlegion]

Yeah but no one wants to talk about a Zafira VXR.

Google disagrees bro

But there's some crazy shit out there.

Edit: been looking at something a bit unusual on ebay; a Toyota Sera.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Toyota-Se...item1e76d31bc7

It needs a manual conversion...it looks like these use the Starlet engine/gearbox, and other parts are the same too.
Maybe even bolt a turbo engine straight in

Wow that car looks mad gay, but as long as it's quick.

It's a tiny little thing.
Apparently some people have put modded engines in that get 250+ hp

They don't look all that gay if they've been lowered tastefully and have slightly bigger rims.
The amount of glass is certainly strange looking though.

I really don't like the look of it, but it's certainly gonna go under the radar and fast... So yeah, I'd probably drive one.

I think this one might be over your way?

Anyway, I'll probably go check out a dark blue 95' Nissan Micra 2 door this weekend Has 180k on the clock.
