We've got a vehicle!
This Saturday (2009/01/10) I went to take a look a look at a late '94 Seat Terra and bought it right away, after a test drive and a nice chat with the owner, who was a soldier in Afghanistan and had originally bought the car to fit the loudest stereo inside that was ever installed in a compact car. Long story short, he had the suspension, steering, underbody frame and cylinder head overhauled only to find out that the window frames in the back were constructed in such a way that he couldn't weld them shut properly.
The 4 cylinder gasoline engine has 903cc and produces a whopping 40hp. It has put either 60,000km (36k mls) or 160,000km (100k mls) behind it, I can't really tell because the odo has only 5 digits. I'm suspecting 60,000 though, because apart from the doors, the body is in really good condition.
The engine runs nicely, the suspension and steering don't make a sound and the gearbox seems alright, too. As I said, the doors don't look as good as the body, but the owner had two spare doors lying around and gave them to me for free.
Strange Brew's rally car!

Was that the reason for evening it out with a one star rating?
If not, I'd like to see at least some criticism instead of just a bad rating...
Blame the system!
It averages out the ratings so that a single vote affects the average, which is zero.
BTW, read your email...
