      a further look into the now released model in some places.. never thought i'd hear forged pistons, intercooler water spray in the same sentence as a yaris..

            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.
