Erm.......interesting choice. Whats it like to drive?

Alrite Galliano - How you getting on mate

My mate has one of these - 172 000 on it and still going strong - Nippy car for what it is.

You sell your red one mate?

[Galliano]

Alright Connor, you the chap that knows Matty with the red one im guessing?

I scrapped the red one a couple of months ago, but stripped it to the bare shell before doing so.

They are quite smooth to drive really, nothing spectacular but weighing just 1tonne, its light and nippy for the 89brake 1.5 engine.Handles better now the strut brace is on it, but its never been pushed enough to slide anywhere lol.

You want to buy wheels in a set of four really. A single pair wont get you very far.

Just send me a cheque for the tip

I'm confused. I thought Paseos had gullwing doors.

[rhinochopig]

Clearly well looked after - a credit to you.

But come: "Genuine Toyota Coin Holder" you're taking the piss right?

Thats the Sera that has gullwing doors.
