Hello rich. Are you enjoying cape town? tell me. Where is your brother looking for the car? burchmores has lots of cheap gtis and even gumtree on the net has lots that are not damaged. When we meeting up for coffee? mike

It's one of the most common cars up here in Johannesburg also! I see at least 10 on my way to work and back everyday.
Still doesn't make the car feel less special.  :smiley:

And it's not the cheapest hot hatch by a long shot. Well...It must be popular for a reason!

Hope you enjoy your visit.
