Jeez this brings back memories, my dad had 3 of these at one stage, a white one, was my Grans car for many years that my dad somehow ended up with, a blue one i think he bought as a donar car to fix the white one and a red one which was his daily driver.
I used to use the red one for school back in high school after my motorbike was stolen, i was only 16 or 17 at the time LOL but it was cheaper to drive myself than the old man take and fetch me. Man we had some good jols in that car. Some good memories
edit, was probably the reason the first car i bought when i started working was a Mazda 323 midge, had that car for about 7 years before selling to a buddy of mine. That is still the longest period ive owned a vehicle for. Usually never lasts more than 2-3 years max, some as short as a few weeks.
