indeed hyundais with big bores seem to be all the rage... atleast on the gold coast.

failing that(please, oh god please fail that!), but a mid 90s commonwhore or falcoon, they're not as bad as people say, just try to keep your hair above the collar.

I went over a couple of months ago, my mate had bought a non-turbo R33 5spd coupe, paid $16k for it, I'd consider that to be a whole lot more than what you'd get one for here.

yeah, my uncle in law has an old RWD thing thats a Holden of some sort, but open the bonnet, and theres a big Toyota badge on top of the engine... you'd think that they would take the two minutes to re badge the engine as well.
