Well,I am looking forward to spinning my first car in Dec,09. I am looking for something that can move me around. Not gisty! Not expe! Second hand! Probably a vehicle written off,after an accident,then I can remake it. Any suggestions? Well,I am budgeting with something not more than 200K for the vehicle! Any suggestions would be welcome!

But you shall remember the LORD your God,for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth,that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers,as it is this day. Deu 8:18

The 406 was a joy to ride and don't forget it was new. The suspension is unrivalled and the engine had serious poke. I was in sales so I hit the road all over the country at the slightest excuse. I felt really good. I don't remember if there was ever a time when anyone overtook me while riding that machine. Surely not until the day I lost my job and had to return the damn company car. I had not seen it coming. That was one seriously curved ball life threw at me. When it hit home that I was bila job and with a second new born baby I knew the s*** had hit the fan. I blamed it on the fact that I had read the booklet 'The Prayer of Jabez' and my ambitious prayer to God to expand my horizon had led to my loss of a job. I had not stolen or under performed,my Zimbabwean boss saw me as a threat and thus gave me the white farmer treatment. Anyway to cut a long story short,we had to start all over again from scratch and by God's grace I have managed to pull myself by my boot straps. I have never earned a salary from then though. I have created wealth to my satisfaction. But that's a story for any day. Sorry eli,for hijacking your thread,but I coundn't help it. It makes me laugh too,you know!

Toyota 110, year 2000 model, ex-japan, manual transmission, EFI. A lovely car to drive, fuel efficient and never broke down.

I learnt to drive using old man's Pujoti 505. Remember mum teaching us to drive since none of us would dare touch the old man's ride with his knowledge. That car was comfy and could move.

My first ride was Nissan Sunny B11. Bought it from a lady, It had been souped up with a 5 speed gearbox, used to sniff fuel and go. Men I was proud of it. Was a nice car apart from Bushes and suspension frequent replacing. Later moved to the land of Toyos.

AE 91. They don't make cars that good anymore. I put robs magic shocks on it and made it invincible. Many a time did I push it to its 180km/h limit on road trips. Bought it @20 in cash. The folly of youth
