Year: 2004 (2004-09)
Make: TOYOTA
Model: COROLLA
Colour: Red
Submodel: RUNX
Body Style: Hatchback
Price : $5500 ONO

The car is in mint condition. First owner in nz and a lady driver. This car belongs to my mother and she’s looked after this well. There are is a small ding (pic attached) which is was due to a trolly at the supermarket. We got this at 25xxx (paper work provided).

The car is serviced regularly, we just had new Bridgestone tyres put in couple of months back + a brand new battery. Wof and rego both expire in 2020. All the windows are tinted to the legal requirements. The back is factory and the front two were done at hyper drive. Can provide paper work if need be.

She’s a real breeze to drive, never given us any problems. Thoroughly reliable and this model of the runx has a sun roof too. Selling as this is now a surplus to requirements.

Price: $5,500

If you freeze ice cream over time, it will often form large ice crystals on the surface or become rubbery. With some raw fruits such as peach, nectarine and kiwifruit, the colour will change and ice cream will not look so attractive.
To serve, It’s best to take the ice cream out of the freezer.

Ingredients
110 g Caster sugar

3 Tbsp Water

3 Egg whites

250 ml Cream

300 g Berries, we have used blackberries and blueberries
