my new wheels
I won the battle on trademe.co.nz for a red Honda Civic LX 1985 2-door hatchback. Suweet! It doesn't have power steering, is an automatic, and has a tape deck and radio. It also has a manual choke to add gas to the engine to help get it going. Not something i'm familiar with but I think i've got it worked out. And of course, it goes on the left side of the road. Luckily NZ roads are near empty, so i shouldn't have any problems staying out of trouble. Paid less than $600 USD for it and will probably have to spend another $100 on it to do an oil change, get a new WOF (Warrant of Fitness) when it expires, and new registration when that comes up. ... plus petrol of course. and then I can sell it in March and make most of the money back. Not a bad deal at all I'd say. Pics coming soon.

i assume you made sure to ask the seller about the power to weight ratio?
Sounds like a sweet ride! Hondas are da shizzle.
Yes! This guy is super excited that you're joining the Honda family... again. But with the grandfather status. btdubs, i love my hatch, hope yours treats you as well as mine does! Haha your car's almost as old as you are...
