My new daily ride (sad content)

[NeilMH]

58k on the clock, FTSH from new. 53 bids on Ebay. I made one bid with 11 seconds left.

 

Pretty exciting eh? My old Corolla got smashed up. In the interim I bought another but couldn't then resist this. I'm now overstocked with 3 of them One now on Ebay.

I dread to think what that would be with 20+ year old Corollas and 1 Jag XK8?Just remove the "Z" I guess.

Incidentally every time I see a Caterham 7 I do find myself strangely drawn back to them again (for a third time) but I don't think my left knee would now stand up to it.

You must be the worlds only corolla fan boy lol

Yes. There is a reason why I buy these Toyotas and dreaded "accessory.

 

My wife had a major operation on her spine years ago (titaniums screws and graf ligaments supporting a large section of her lower spine). She has to travel with the seat reclining and in a car with exactly the right sort of seat and with very good ride quality - we also need a big boot, light doors, etc, etc. Despite buying, hiring and trying umpteen cars we have never done any better than these. With the increasing rarity, their value to us exceeds their modest monetary value. Hence the steering wheel thing. I bet you weren't expecting such an impressive defence of these dodgy looking appendages You could also argue "why would anyone want to steal one anyway" and that would be a good question.
