Ahhh i'm a sad excel driver myself....not by choice
And i wouldnt agree with you about doing up cars and losing money...a large factor is the type of car, common lets face it, and excel is a chicks car(what i keep telling one of my mates at TAFE who's doing up his excel sprit RICER STYLE....damn malaysian fool wont listen to me that its impressing no one). My mate got himself a HJ kingswood for $300...invested quite a few man hours and about $3500-$4000 of his own money and sold it for $16000. But thats pure luck.....anyways keep on the wife about getting a REAL car...hmmmm supra *drools*
