What were those stickers all about? I've seen them before, and even on a
few imports, usually from Germany (D) or the England (UK). Was it just a
fashion things, pride of where you live when traveling on the continent, or
were they required at some point?
I also wonder about British plates,
I think the clubman is due here soon, if not already here. Yeah, I love
some of the small cars in Europe. They seem to know how to make a small car
fun and good looking. Most small cars here seem to me, to constantly remind
you how little money you spent all the time. Oh well, just makes
Almost as cool as the two horns on some Euro cars. The polite city horn,

Run out of gas?? I guess if you only have to fill up once every 1000 kms,
it's easy to forget the car needs fuel to run. lol. I, unfortunately, am
reminded often that my car runs on gas. hee hee.
I seem to have a leak in my tank, but when I drive slower, it leaks much
less for some reason.
Yeah, have to agree. When last in Italy, I had a 2 litre gas car. 3 ppl
and all our bags in the. At that time, gas was a little better than double
what it was here. I filled it up when I started, and it took premium. Cost
about $100. During my stay, I added aother $20, and that got me almost
I think there are all different levels of spec for the car. They have some
really hot versions over in the UK, and other countries. Selling such a car
here for $45,000 might be hard, but it's pretty much a little rally car, and
I think pretty good value for what it is. To a degree, I think many
Yup, we had one when they were new. lol. My dad was in the car business,
so we tried all the new stuff at the time.
Back then, if you mentioned timing belts, most would look at you kind of

As for the
When living overseas as a kid, we had two Ford Capri's. Great cars. I

I know the issue is getting some money back for paying for the CarFax, and
the annoyance of dealing with a guy like this, but on the bright side, at
almost $10,000, another one will come along soon.

Actually no - I've been looking for one with the Stability Control
option on Ebay and Craig's List for the last 15 months. This was the
first. It may be quite a while until another comes along.

most palatable solution for me is to make sure I'm putting the gas into a
car that I really enjoy driving. If you really enjoy your time behind the
wheel of whatever you're driving, seems to make handing over your money at
the gas station a little easier. :-)
