Yeh but insurance companies don't like grey imports and a mate from AAMI tells me that they'll only insure them for something like 2/3 of real value. They also have lots of fights with owners of grey imports when they claim I think Midz simply meant that both are cows to insure and will cost a lost

Nah, go the Liberty RS. If I ever sell my VL this is what I will be buying next. They are inconspicious(looks like at old mans car) so can become a total sleeper whilst getting no attention from cops. At the moment the car can be picked up for less than 12 grand but just make sure they have been upgraded to WRX head. The majority of them should be by now.

I would buy a mazda familia before a lancer gsr, i never liked them..... But you can't look out the side window in either of those cars while still going straight down the road..... DRIFT, it's a fun and powerful thing!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Go the subie. The sound. The sound. I was walking along the other day through uni carpark and I thought I heard a liverty with an exhaust kit. I turn a round and a newish 1.6 pulsar drives past sounding sorta subaruish but not. So inside my head i thought something like this: "P plater pulsar drier goes to exhaust shop says; make my car sound like a WRX. Exhaust shop guy; says Ok charges $800 and drills a hole in his exhaust." Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
