Well, it has been a long time since I last posted so I thought another one might be in order. Since last posting I have gained my driver's license and am currently driving around in my Mum's car. But that won't be for long. Pretty soon I will be driving my own car which I hope to buy over the next month or so. There are a number of cars I am interested in. Several are worth a mention. For starters there is a car down at a yard in Ballarat which is a Toyota Camry Vienta. It is a V6 and runs on gas, so it would be pretty economical to drive. It would also have a little extra power for some longer trips I plan to take, while having the fuel economy of a four cylinder engine. As it is a Toyota Camry, it would be very reliable and have good fuel economy regardless. It has plenty of space but about half the bootspace is taken up by the gas tank. It also does not look all that cool and the colour is burgundy. But it looks good enough and would be a very good asset. The other car I am considering buying is another Toyota Camry, this one a 1998 model. The other one is 1996. This one looks much better, but is four cylinder instead of 6. This car would be bought privately as it is owned by the brother of a person who my Mum works with. It has more features than the earlier model, like a CD player - which incidentally does not select tracks but plays it right through - but has done more kilometers - 175 versus 150. I am might even buy a Mazda 323. These are small cars, four cylinders, but the model I find good looking is much older, around 1993. Anyway, tomorrow I plan to test drive the Vienta. Hopefully my brother will come at the same time so as to get a second opinon. I will test drive the other Camry next week and if all goes to plan I may even take one of them. If I am still not satisfied I will keep looking, but I don't see myself going down to Melbourne to buy a car. It would be far too much hassle when it comes time to arrange a test drive and mechanical inspection.
