Hi there incoming Aussies and wonderful CITEL (Colorado Int Tchrs Exchange League) hosts,
For those who haven't met me my name is Niccy Pallant and I am on exchange in Denver, Colorado at present. I am writing this at work as I have some time before my car pool leaves to go home.
Of course, I have had the most amazing time and I am very excited to hear of the large group of Aussies for 2008. Get ready for the magic of being an Australian in America!
Anyway.... I'm actually here to advertise my car. I bought it from CITEL people when I arrived and they even taught me how to deal with ice and snow on the other side of the car and road!
It's a 1991 Subaru (apparently a good year - like wine a better year for Soobies)
It's done over 150 000 miles (10 000 of those mine!)
It's brown/beige.
It's a station wagon with HEAPS of space (I was responsible for all the food & camping gear for 4 to Yellowstone). See photo above!
I was surprised by its reliability and strength.
It's economical (but most are compared to the price of petrol in Oz!).
I can also recommend a great Subaru mechanic that gave her (Super Suzy is her name) a full service for $45!!!!.
I am interested in offer's from everyone but will give an Aussie the price I paid $1900. Everyone else $2000.
Both Elan (Adel in 06) elansutton@yahoo.com and Rob (Melb 06) robert.chambliss@comcast.net have driven her and are willing to give references.
Best, best, best of luck with the final preparations for leaving your home, job and country - nothing will be hard after that!
Warms Regards, Niccy
