yep. and especially the corolla.

i know how good a good old car can be. one time in the past i had to get something cheap and good and a car savvy person told me to look for a datsun 380B, I think it was, something like that.

so i flew in from new guinea and bought the first one I could find in the sydney papers, having no time (or wheels) to go hunting around - drove it up to the Territory and drove it around for the next five years before handing it on.....

and I remember the original VW, too, the beatle.

and I've got an xy (being worked on).

so looks like corolla. I'll encourage the wife to look there...

thanks everyone...
