just curious as to what made you buy a starlet? my story was that i got my insurance money back from my stolen corsa and was out on my 4th day looking around for cars, and the list for the day was looking at a peppermint green corsa in the morning, a black one after lunch and a micra in the afternoon and hopefully a mitsi colt... but then last minute we had the local paper posted thru the letterbox and my dad said "hey boy, what about this one??" and pointed to this ad reading; "1998 toyota starlet, white, 31,000 miles, air con, one owner £2200" so we shot down to the garage selling it and had a look about it. it was spotless. i took it for a spin down this little tarmac road. then i was hooked. ;) i fell in love with the little beasty and haggled him down to £2000... i was quite lucky mind you, because there was a girl waiting with her dad to see it and were pretty intent on buying it, so i was lucky. whats you guys story?? Rich.
