****** dang.... Loser.

mmm white rims would look awesome on a blue corolla, thats what im hoping to get for mine eventually. I just checked out that Joey Kev guy, man he's got some nice stuff there. Im a fan of these rims, from him, too bad he doesnt have them in 17's that'll fit the stivo!

For my stivo, i use Armorall Leather wipes..... reasonably cheap and they work really well. and you dont get anything in the holes on the seat, which is a bonus

I'll be up around cooly and surfers and brisbane from the 14th dec till the 24th, am very much hoping that i will be able to see some of your sexy sportivo's while im up there... especially yours Danthuyer... white sportivo - mmmmmmmmm!

so yeah, if anyone knows of a person who smashed a blue sportivo in sydney either late last year or early this year let me know, as i would like to find the previous owner and ask about things like spare keys or service history.

I use Caltex Vortex 98, mainly cos i work for Caltex so i have to buy it :P usually get between 500 - 600km per tank, depending on how heavy my right foot is.

If you guys can get enough people interested, i'll organise the cruise part when u get down here. i got a couple of mates with nice cars so we can cruise out to the cotter or something and have a BBQ or whatever you fellas wanna do. Just let me know what happens and i'll see what i can do. cheers, Michael

Welcome mate I was watching the progress of your Dad's escapade from London-Sydney last year and at the start they were looking in good shape, but then it just looked like they fell of the timing... what happened? How did they finish up... there were 2 Sportivos competing weren't there? Anyway, welcome... we Sydney folk should organise a drive down to Canberra as there are a few of you down there now :) ← Yeah they started off really well, but when they reached Turkey, a mix up with customs meant that they werent able to leave the country. so an hour later after some heavy negotiations ($1000 US) they were able to leave. But, i dunno if u know anything about rallying, but you have set time frames to get everywhere so of course they were heaps late so they dropped down the leader board. but when they got to australia, they caught up a fair bit till the gearbox killed itself. but still, top ten finish isn't too bad i guess. yeah, there were 2 sportivos from australia, dad and a toyota dealer from sydney i think or thereabouts, Brian Hilton. i think they finished 8th. i think there also was another from New Zealand and a couple of Run X's from the UK. drive down here sounds good to me, i'm hoping to come back here a bit, it'll be nice to meet some other sportivo nuts. :P

Care to elaborate.... Why don't you have the body kit.... ← well i bought it from pickles auctions smashed, and dad and i fixed it all up ourselves, but when we finished it was like, - 3 degrees so too cold for the glue to set to hold them on, so we didnt bother. and i havent had a chance yet, but uni holidays start very soon so i should be getting to it. Same with the from bumper bar lip, havent had a chance to drill the holes into the bumper so i can screw it in.

Hey all, I hail from Canberra, drive a blue 03 Sportivo, but no one believes that it is one because it doesnt have the body kit at the moment. My dad has a red 03 Sportivo, my mum has a white 04 Levin with full kit as well. bit of a rolla family really huh? oh yeah dad also has a sportivo rally car which he used to do last years London to Sydney Marathon. that car's much more fun than mine :P Michael
