Still got my Shitstar! :lol: Its retired thou, after Kaz got a company car, Im driving her FTO.

After 350,000kms she's getting run down to Pick & Payless today! Im hoping for $50 :D

Its got a blown head gasket (but not too bad, just need to add water every few days) she's got a pod filter, the cruise control works, it uses 4 litres of oil per tank of fuel and it chews up & spits out a set of plugs every fortnight. Great car :lol:
