This one has been wrecked sometime in the past since there is no airbag on the passenger side of the dash(3:12).The upper side of the dash is from pre '96 models.
The last year without passenger's side airbag was 1995 in EU.
From 1996 it was standard.
Otherwise...great looking car.Red suits them well.

This guy posted quality pictures of his trip home on MVS awhile ago. Don't remember the title.

Sounds strange with the driveby whine/whoosch. I don't think mine does that. Maybe the turbo is no so good any more?
Nice car, but they could have shown the engine for a bit.

Petrolicious usually has better videos. It is alright, but shallow.
I don't have the guts to put my trial bike in the trunk. Not even a mountainbike ...
