Jump back into a 1.9 Opel LH-LX 4cyl Torana (pre LX Sunbird which came with RTS) with aussie 4spd M20, body mounted shifter and 3.9 diff. Handled like a HQ, ran out of puff at 80kM/h, got out-sprinted by a pushbike and all the remote mounted shifter issues of a HK. And people still bought the pieces of junk! I reckon it'd be more comfortable driving a ride on mower on the freeway!
    I'd go for the 4cyl dunnydore stationwagon with the useful Econo-guage at POOR .... they couldnt pull a maggot off a greasy chop!!!
