Welcome to the forum 3amigos,
That's an interesting occupation, how does the i30 handle new drivers, any stories to tell. I think that would be a good test for a car. :goodjob2:

:lol: I reckon I would wear a welding mask for protection too if I as a driving instructor.. :goodjob:
If your students stall it then you know you have a lot of work to do :winker:
They are a popular driving intructors car (even in the UK) :D

there is a few getting around, they seem to be handling the workload ok. Has a lot to live up to, my Toyota corolla did 395,000km..and is still going strong. I enjoy driving it..kids love it. Have an issue with it at 1900rpm..gets an engine shudder then is fine. will post prob in appropriate place. I also have 2 Kombis, a 72 and a 58 :D...A student took the mask pic.

The Kombi has a cult following an ex-workmate was only telling me the other day about a trip of 3000kms he did in his on the mainland including some Kombi meet up (In Victoria I think)

Hey it is a small world! :lol: the Guy in the red T-shirt in the picture where they are changing the fuel line is my Friend and I think the Orange Kombi with the FR tassie number plate might be his vehicle :faint:

I'm thinking clutch (it is a Driver training car after all) :whistler:
-
yes..was the clutch..travelling fine now.

how long (in years) do ur cars last? I got a family friend who's a driving instructor with a corolla. at least 8 hours of driving 5-6 days a week is A LOT of mileage!
