Well, my first car was a 1959 Series II Land Rover, which turned out to be not that practical to drive into town (no door locks, no indicators, no seat belts etc.) In every other regard, however, it was fantastic - the interior is metal so you can hose it down, it'll go anywhere and carry anything, it's simple, incredibly durable, and, most of all, it had character.

So, my second car was a 1999 Hyundai Excel, which was total rubbish - the interior was made of some sort of cellophane, the clutch was made of smoke and magic, the gearbox thought it would be fun to randomly refuse to engage reverse (at least I didn't have to double-declutch like on the Rover), the windows fell out if you wound them down and up again, the heater was colder than Antarctica, and the steering was attached to the front wheels by some sort of steering committee in Korea. Not only that, but it was slow and noisy, though not as bad as the Land Rover. 0-100km/h for the Land Rover took about seven years, not much less for the Excel.

But, since I moved to Sydney to go to uni, I don't drive any cars any more as the public transport and/or walking works fine.

no indicators, no seatbelts

how was that car allowed on the road

I can understand that fine. What I can't understand is "tar the entire make that car put hyundai on the map" with no fullstop to indicate that your ideas are broken into sentences. Do you have any more points to make, or can I leave now?

no indicators, no seatbelts

It was allowed on the road because it was built without indicators and seatbelts, and therefore is legal if you register it as a classic car (which I did).

are you retarded or what (yes)

additionally, it's cool that you put your insignificant ranks in your sig...1/2 A+ effort m8! You're coming first AND second last. idiot.

 

[katie tully]

that also doesnt mean that it isnt a horribad car though lol i can be both (and it is)
one of the worst cars ever made and also one of the most important

.

 

[Schneezle]

AND YOUR LIZARD SIG IS SO COOL OMG I WANT A LIZARD IN A HAT DRINKING SOMETHING THATS SO AWESUM

I also fail to see where the first paragraph comes from. How, specifically, am I retarded? Because I have an old car? Or because only 2 people chose MX2?

 

[katie tully]

please stop

 

[SnowFox]

Why are you paying $2k a year to insure a Hyosung that is worth like $6k

fuckdat, i only bought Third Party (other then CTP).

I aint a retard, hopefully before august ill have done some superbike courses+ Advanced Training and get me some discounts.

And wtf is all this crap about marks

*looks*

WTF, my school wouldnt even run a class with only 3 students.

Take it NS please, give us the giggles there.

 

[Arcorn]

how on earth can your premium be $1.2k for a $3k car

It's actually worth about 6K without the added $1000 for the sound system I put in.

 

[Havox]

ok but you know that the excel pretty much carried hyundai globally, and is to date one of the best examples of a simple, reliable car


right?

It sold because it was CHEAP not because it was any good. It was a shit of a car then and even worse now that they've aged.
