Hi guys!

I need to purchase something shortly as I am changing jobs (no more work car).

I'm thinking a nice cruiser
- Legnum
- Stagea

Or practical
- Delica
- Challanger
- Hilux
- Triton
- Pajero
- RVR

Or efficient
- Colt
- Honda civic

Or retarded
- Another Galant VR4
- 3000GT
- Suby wrx

What do you guys think?
The commute is a short one, only about 10-15 minutes every morning. No traffic really........ opinions???

Golf GTi, GTD, TSi any of them would be a nice place to be. I am starting to like the new era sport diesels like the GTD, 150kw an 400nm with a chip.
HID stands for "High Intensity Discharge", or if you dont adjust them properly, "Hi I'm a Dickhead".

Oh, so you want to spend as little as possible Baz?

Hands down, motorbike! Will be the best 10-15min trip you have all day :)

Or if you want comfort and space, can't go past a magna for value for $$. $5k would buy you a fairly late model one in pretty decent nick. BARGAIN.


and for the record, the only thing gayer than a bag of dicks would be a golf! Only balding accountants have the right to drive them!
