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

@Graememarina Despite all the other BS being posted (opinions are like a-holes and all that), here's another two.
English
@000_three One of them car counter things with the black tubes across the road?
English
@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
English
@LikePetrol i think i like it coz its unique looking
...i think they suit lip spoilers well too
English
@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.
English
@000_three I still pine for an old, tidy, stock KP61 Starlet, good luck with that now though :(
English
@LikePetrol fair enough
thats what id do to ⋮)
i want an old RWD 2 door hatchback
id like a chevette but would prefer a marina
& ive missed the boat on an affordable starlet
& other japanese options
English
@000_three lol there are heaps of coupes in the UK. Classic clickbait. I do like that spoiler though...
English
@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.
English
@LikePetrol just saw ur instagram post but i never actually use it
...so
if u ever get bored of it & think of selling it
let me know
seriously
ive always thought the 2 doors were underrated & had huge potential
English
@000_three At one point an employee of my local supercheap had a grumpy sounding V8 NA MX5...
English
just saw a really tidy stock looking JDM Honda CR-X del sol SiR...
wiki sez SiR has the best motor
B16A proper VTEC 168hp with optional LSD
the kid driving was a supercheap employee
they seem to love cool/odd/old hondas
theres usually at least one in the back of every supercheap

@Anthony90994735 @timoldland Hopefully nowhere, Renault can get in a fire. Their parts have been the worst part of the current alliance.
English
@timoldland Where do Renault fit into this as they are nissan/mitsubishi/Renault alliance
English
This is huge news, proof that the legacy automakers really are struggling. Ford/VWG next? 🤔

@Hannughh So, take the cute lovable little Honda E, copy it, and give it a terrifying multiple eyed face from a horror game. Nice.
English
@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
English
idk anything about mercs other than when they are old and two door i like them...
i always thought these were a really handsome machine
& only now realised its a convertible
& just learned they all are
one piece hardtops always look so much better than retractable ones
⚆⚆⚆@000_three
i dont know anything about mercs other than when they are old and two door i like them... just saw a mint seventy eight 280 SLC
English
@000_three Only had that once or twice and by golly it wakes you up 😆
English
@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.
English
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
English
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 😡
English
@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 🤷♂️
English
@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’?
English
Go on then folks ... Remember its just some Sunday afternoon fun.
English
@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.
English
@LikePetrol @joncoupland Some are nearly as big as the Lexus RX300 I used to have? Hardly call that small…lol
English
@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.
