Iwan Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Well just a short introduction really, the same old.The names Iwan, and if you haven't realised by the name, i'm wlesh!Just recently bought an immaculate, black, Starlet SR. And boy, what a car! I was expecting it to be a little underpowered, but it's surprisingly quick!, the 1.3 is a little gem, relaible & cheap to run.All in all, very pleased.Here are a few pics:2 owners from new, both from the same family, a mother & son. Seriously well looked after, immaculate example. 59k miles.Only did 8 miles a day!, and by the looks of things it wasn't thrashed about. Good thing in this case as I wanted a standard one!One thing I am puzzled about, is the fact that it had a sunroof fitted from factory .Car is pretty much standard throughout exept for the exhaust & fog lamps.So there we go!, and nice to meet you all. (I said it would be a short introduction....) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to prepare it for trackday use, but it'd be a shame because it's so well looked after.On that subject, any recommendations for a role cage?, even a half cage would do.Thanks in advance!
