I used my 107SW in my wedding back in 2000.  It was great.  The best man, my
brother, drove us from the church to the reception hall grinding the gears
all the way.  He couldn't get use to the non-synchro 1st and 2nd, especially
down shifting.  The 5 door looked great all dressed up in the "just married"
garb.
