I caught 3 crims breaking into my house and when they spotted me they stormed me with picks and axes and tried to ram me with their stolen car. I crashed into the walls trying to escape and they rammed my car in such a way that it was not repairable. Its a 2000 model. I live in a violent country, you know. I got myself a 2002 model at a reasonable price, stock, except for 195 65 15 tyres! See the photos of my late and new car. I love the Sporty Support our sponsors Re: Goodbye Kia, Hello Kia [Re: Delarey] #862219 01/23/08 01:48 PM Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 3,814 South Texas Hydra747 Roll Me Over To bad about the situation that you had. NOw that is a very nice Sportage !!!! I think that you got really lucky in finding that one. All the Sportages that they sold abroad always seem to look better than the ones in the U.S. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> That one looks like it was kept in "Moth Balls" for about 5 yrs. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Last edited by Hydra747; 01/23/08 01:51 PM.

It has done 130 k's but is in a beautiful condition with leather interior. I will just fit larger tyres, something like 215 80 15 like my previous car.
