@000_three I used to be obsessed with the Toyota Soapra. A Mk3 Supra with a Mk2 Soarer front end.

@000_three The lip spoilers are better than no spoiler. I can't stand how the quarter panels tower over the boot lid without a spoiler

@000_three It is indeed my old Skyline. Hated how it looked with the wing off tbh 😄 I actually refitted the wing and it looked 100x better.

@000_three Sorry but you'll need to pry this one from my cold dead hands 😆 it's a keeper. Even if I get bored, it'll go into storage before I sell it. I may know of a Twin Carb coupe coming up for sale though.

@Hannughh So, take the cute lovable little Honda E, copy it, and give it a terrifying multiple eyed face from a horror game. Nice.

@000_three They also came in a rare panoramic hard top where the whole top is basically tinted glass. What's wild to me is that these also have a soft top under the hard top. I'd love to own an SL500

@000_three The term "worth" is doing a lot of work here. 90s "hero" cars have been a long way from what they're worth for a long time 😔 anyone paying 40-50k for a chaser is an idiot.

just saw a 1997 1JZ JZX100 Chaser my brother in law bought a turbo manual for 15K nzd & sold it for 31K & bought a mint ten year newer low milage 420hp Lexus IS-F for 32K ...the Chaser is worth $40-50K now & the Lexus is probably under 30k but it is a far superior car to daily

Please have patience and give space to learners. We were all there once. I often see people tailgating and driving aggressively around Learners, it's just not on. Don't be a dick.
El Drapo@el_drapo

To the cvnt in an Audi A5 who aggressively hit his horn then overtook a row of cars as a clearly L-plated learner (my son) was trying to execute a tricky right turn hillstart onto the A26 this afternoon - I hope your turkey teeth fall out before you’ve finished paying for them 😡

@M0JEC @joncoupland It's out of control now, but the R50 was actually a fairly small car for it's time. Smaller than a similar age Suzuki Swift, and that's classified as a "supermini" Segment car 🤷‍♂️

@LikePetrol @joncoupland I know the ‘original’ mini had its flaws, (I have driven one in the past) but the whole point of the ‘Mini’ was its size? Same with the fiat 500, a 500XL is like saying a big small car? Just grates with me to a certain extant. Maybe it’s BMW trying to be ‘funny’?

@M0JEC @joncoupland I'm only commenting on the R50/53 and they're significantly smaller than an RX300. The later ones are a joke. In saying that, the age old "but it's bigger than the old ones!" Argument is BS and just rose tinted glasses thinking the old ones were better than they are.

@joncoupland A very unpopular opinion, but anything with more than say... 300hp, that is only driven on the street. That's stupid power to be driven on public roads and only used to drive like a complete knob.
