hey ross we are gunna pass on it this time round mate, we made a sensible decision for once, that would have made our 9th licensed car.
i can vouch for this car being in exceptional condition for the price, in fact when we looked at the car we did a head gasket leak detector test on it and it came up sweet as apples. Just for all you guys worried about that. Good old metal head gasket has obviously done the job nicely.
Cheers
Matty

7mgte is no more. It died on the freeway on the way home, only drove it for a total of about 20 mins b4 it went kaput.
I've been told it is the big end bearings and u cant get to that without taking off the head. So im looking at either a new engine or rebuild, either way its going to prove costly. 
Other than that im very impressed and cant wait for it to be on the road again.
