LOL, I do try to be understanding. I just don't always succeed!
BTW, my Father bought a turtle deck (not to be confused with Steve Jobs favorite clothing) for a Model T runabout some years go. He sold it on though as was restoring a similar vintage Buick at the time.
I have a great Uncle (still living) who has restored many Model T's. He used to be the go to man for rewinding Model T Coil's too, probably serviced most of the coils in Model T's in this country by now.
There's some useless trivia for you!

just picked up a '97 Saxo. 1.6i - 4 stage auto, airbag, cent' locking, ABS, P/S, only 137'ks, 2 owners full service history. $1800 from trade me. There was NOTHING from any other marquee Jap or otherwise that provided as much car for cash as this. P.s. no-one is laughing, they're all a little green.

We got a mazda demio, brilliant little car, 1990 done 70k for 4k, all the airbags and other safety features, cruises 100kph no probs. Only problem is the back seats are a bit hard.

You bought a 1990 Mazda for $4000! And it had airbags! I guess you probably mean 2000, as there wasn't a Demio until 1996.

LOL, no different guy I am sure, although he is getting on a bit now. Chatted to my Father about him not that long ago actually. You have me curious now as to whether he still has some "T's" he did last time I was down visiting.

I take it you have not driven a comfortable car made in Japan.

Crikey, that's not anything to write home about, I could get 43 mpg over a tank of around town deliveries for our shop. The newer, safer and better equipped Punto can be had in budget too.

This has ABS, 6 airbags, pre-tensioners, and a well designed passenger safety cell! Not being rude, but you can do a lot better safety wise for your money and cruising at 100km/h is hardly setting the bar very high, this is not India.

LOL . a lot of the early imports ARE as described. There was some pretty freaky "Japan only" variations brought in to NZ in the early years & still some these days
