speakeasy 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 yea mine was just a 1100cc, but it was manual and you could do whatever the f**k you wanted with it, it was worth about a hundred and fifty bucks. cops wouldnt even pull me over doing seventy in a fifty zone, cause it looked as though i couldnt afford to pay fines anyway. plus it would go to town and back everyday for 2 weeks on 20 bucks. or less. i wrote her off, when i was "off roading" im missing her right now...

OLLIE 26 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 (edited) haha dude thats awesome :mosh: my mates owned a honda city turbs when they lived in brisbane, they don't miss it at all, probably cos there was 4 of them. they went though 2 engines, but said it drove well sideways down most roads especially with the handbrake on. oh and the brakes were terrible especially when the booster sounded like a jet engine.
