Welcome Chris, if you take a drive in one, you will then will be hooked, thats how i was caught!
Imported one last year from Japan, so worth it having one so clean and unmodified
Make sure you get a clean straight shell anyway, if you dont got that it will eventually haunt you, like my first one did to me! Ther such class cars, you have to have it perfect!
I can never understand how people sell them and give up owning one!
The tax though here is pathetic, something has to be done about, damn near 1500 for a car that uses the roads on a Saturday or Sunday or the odd night!
Anyway have fun on the search, my only advice Manual!
