1995 Bathurst - First car!
Ahoy there, I'm Tony and this is my '95 Bathurst.
I put the deposit down today and it will be ready to be picked up on Wednesday. It will be my first car, the car that will take me through the joys and strains of probationary licensing (L plater currently, waiting until January to sit my manual probationary license test).
A little about myself, I'm currently 20 years old working full time for Volkswagen as an apprentice mechanic. It's good work, and it allows me to apply myself in ways I enjoy. However I would like to start working on my own vehicles, and I thought this neat little MR2 would be the perfect start.
In terms of my MR2, I don't know much about the car aside from that it is completely stock down to the cassette player, it has done 112,000kms, it's a 5 speed short-throw manual and was freshly sprayed black recently. The vehicle was also part of a deceased estate, which may explain why the kilometers are fairly low for it's age and the condition of the interior and exterior. The listed price was $10,999, however the online price was $8,999, and I was subsequently able to negotiate the price down to $8,800, with an initial deposit of $1,000.
Here are two pictures and a video I took today upon placing the deposit. More will come as I take delivery of her :)

Aside from that, I just thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself to the forums - I look forward to learning lots and contributing!
