No, I was REALLY hoping it was the same car.

Yours looks like a decent one, unlike that shed that I photo'd.

Used to have a four door. Was always told there were 100 4door and 100 5door made.
I always thought that although I thought the colour was cool, not many people would choose it on a brand new car?
