Finally made up my mind!!

Most of the euro I see on the road are either graphite or black. Too common, almost like Taxi yellow. I personally like the Fridge color (the white fridge)

he's pretty young and with nice rims, body kit etc. i think a more vibrant colour has the potential to look great on the euro.

I'll post a pic of a reall nice blue one if i can find it.

Dark and more "classic" colours like silver really do suit the car tho (totally agree with coladuna there) and would be a great choice too- given the right mods can look down right nasty too in black

an evil tsx from the states.

I think its hard to go wrong with the euro.

Ya i guess ur right... i dun think i ll suit black that much plus the interior is also really important to me too... black = ivory.... i hate that... so i guess blue wif euro r, is the way for me.

Whilst trying to keep on topic as best we can - can you send me a source for this? When I was in Vietnam for 4 weeks I saw more crashes than I have in 28 years in Australia.

---- update -- actually I just answered my own question by doing a search
on google.

http://www.factbook.net/EGRF_Regiona...siaPacific.htm

Australia deaths in 1997 in vehicles - 1768
South East Asia road deaths in 1998 - 118,608

Somehow I think Asian countries have more fatalities. Are you looking at some sort of weird "per km" travelled figure or something.

No factory GPS available for the Euro in Australia - not yet anyway. I would not be surprised to see this as an option soon. You need to get an aftermarket GPS - they are cheaper and some are portable which is handy.

World population

are you comparing between 1 australia and 11 southeast asian countries?

if you take a look at the link above, Australia have a population of around 20mil and Southeast asia have around 505mil..taking the figures from your post and do some maths Australian death toll is 0.1% of the total population and Southeast asian death toll is 0.02% of the total population..

nuff said...Lets not discuss further...forget what i posted earlier if it annoys anyone..

CASE CLOSED!Peace there..

Alrighty....

Mr Sonic has made his decision, I think this discussion has gone far enough (Going off track at times LOL and recently LOL), he got his car, had his say, we had ours, if there is nothing to add to it... This will pretty much be the end of it....

Nice post! Thats true... i have no respect for people who disrespect other people's ride... esp they did not buy it themself!

but anyhow I had to go on a stupid loan to buy my first car... Silva... And if I get good grades back in school (that was a long long time ago), i might be lucky to get a CD or something!! oh btw, i'm azn as well! Not that my parents are tight or poor (dad owns a M3 and mum owns a 4wd), but they want me to learn the value of money... To tell you the truth, it is so much better for me in the long run, I cherish everything I have and I am a so much responsible person... I've got friends who's parents got them a bmw when first got their licence, they're sooo bad and irresponsible... bloody spoiled!... they all talk i want this and this (expensive cars and stuff)... but i'm more then happy just buying a Euro for myself!

btw, congrats on ur purchase!

**euro1978** · 02-08-2005 01:43 PM

Decision Made = check.

Congrats issued for purchase = check.

Is this thread with the same 'parents buying kids cars' argument that has been done to death on every car forum since the dawn of the internet past it's expiry date ? = check.
