Return at last

Hey guys,

Have not been on here in over a year since buying the RX . . . hope all have been well and hope that nothings changed on the site

I am recently in the market for a extremely cheap car that i can use as a run around and to teach the other half how to drive . .

Ideally looking for a manual car, after shopping around i came across a BG Astina and test drove it . . brought back the old days and i loved every minute of it.

So i am kinda mainly just shopping for one of them . . . ideally an SP model, with little to no mods.

Wanting to know from the team, is there any things i should be looking out for before i buy a BG . . . any characteristics i should stick clear off. . . once they get around 200,000kms - 260,000 kms on them?

Cheers guys

get a swift gti
sorry but small cheap runabout, nothing beats them (if u can find one). plus there fun, and reasonably quick. no auto option as well. handle better then a mini.

but as for bg's i have no clue, just thought id add something different.
