my first peice of advice is to put your post in the right forum, this does help!!!! Gemini's are great first carz, i don't know y your askin us cause ovcourse were gonna say there the best, were GEMINI LOVAS.!!!! There good first cars don't go for an RB go 4 a TG, or TF manuel u could get 1 wid not much rust 4 around $1200, i picked 1 up 2 months ago 4 350 at murray bridge and that don't have much rust on it but it needs a respray, only 12,000kms on the clock, i was lookin 4 a few months , u gotta be patient. check da trader, ask around at wreckers sum times they sell whole cars that r 2 good to wreck. were boughts in adeliade r u? i'm at Goolwa TGfanatic@hotmail.com is my email if ya need any help.

my boss's mother has one with just over 8,000Km on the clock
i thought that was pretty amazing, it still has factory tyres on it, very cracked and unroadworthy, but factory none the less, its auto and has plastic nudge bars on the front and rear to avoid damage in carparks...

Get a gemini is my advice 2 u, I just bought a tg for my first car about 2 months ago and Im heaps happy with it. u can get them looking half decent for fairly cheap and it seems every p plater owns one.
