      My experience in cars over 25 years I had a Honda Civic till somebody smash into it at the petrol station…

      Move on to Volkswagen Golf Mark 4 what a car last me 7 years without any problems..

      Another Volkswagen Golf Mark 5, pile of
      shit kept going wrong big let down with PD engine.

      Last chance Volkswagen Golf Mark 6, what a
      car, was doing until Volkswagen high emissions started off cheating on the smoke.

      Went in for a service they remap the car and fuck it up big time got very smoky.. had to get rid off.

      Now it Audi doing great so far. Best car by far for now

              Soooo cool.

              A few years ago @formulapfaff bought a JDM Toyota Celsiur from JapaneseClassics and it’s one of the coolest cars.

              I know you guys will love this new addition - a 4wd, diesel Toyota is about as close to perfection as they make!

                @Brock that's pretty cool. reminds me of the mitsubishi delica here in australia that most people put on raised suspension..

                  @brock really cool van. I had a Subaru Sambar mini truck and loved it. Amazing how great those machines run. Mine was a 1996 and didn’t cause me any trouble for the 5 years I owned it. Only issue here in Ontario, Canada is the right hand drive. Very difficult to find anyone to insure them. Enjoy the new ride!

                    @louisbosco you might be interested in this review of the Yaris GR.

                    https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/toyota/gr-yaris/first-drives/toyota-gr-yaris-2020-uk-review

                    Surely the "Should you buy one?" section could be reduced to one word: yes.

                            I took a trip to Melbourne last week, and it turned out that one of the Toyota dealers had the Yaris GR in stock, so I went to take a quick look. Didn't get a chance to drive it.

                            What really surprised me is how light the doors feel. If you are after a VW style clunk, you're looking at the wrong car.

                            Interior space upfront is good. I'm nearly 6'3" / 190 cm tall, with long legs, and I could fit in. But the rear seats look like they'll only fit babies, and the luggage space is tiny.

                                Lol I wish it was bigger. I see 3-4 everyday. I text my wife daily about trading in her Jeep for one 🙂

                                Sadly, the nearest dealer is 2+ hours away, which means I would be walking to work a lot haha

                                I love how they look!

                                  I was offered this at a very fair price last week.  It's very original.  I want it so much, but do not have a garage.  I spoke to H about it, his answer  "Buy it and build a garage"…..

                                  I could probably get away with buying the car, I'd get a little bit of shit, but that would pass.  Building a garage would be a fast track to divorce.....

                                    You could look into one of the classic car storage facilities. There are a few around Hampshire.

                                    Or build a garage. We need another thread about you extending the house. 😃

                                            The mid 70’s Vette’s were notorious for frame rot (birdcage), and can get quite pricey to rebuild.

                                            I’m not a Vette guy, but know just enough to be wary.

                                            Lots of good info on the internet about it.
