Here you go.

Smart ForTwo/ ForFour? I’ve seen a ForTwo multiple times in Kohuwala a few years back, but haven’t noticed any nearby in quite some time.

Yep, saw one in orange listed for sale a couple of days back

That’s right! This particular example was produced by FSM if I’m not mistaken

Here you go

Jeez why'd they massacre it like that :') can't judge tho, it's all personal preference in the end ig

207 cc?

I see, thanks a lot for the heads up. Will keep in mind & try to figure that out soon. 🙌 💀😂😂 I honestly don’t think I’ll be able to try doing that even if I wanted to 😂 It’s already past 4/5 pm when I’m done with lectures at uni on every weekday, so I mostly use it in the evenings and weekends for now. Initially had a plan to daily it to uni and back, but decided against that for now, for multiple reasons.

Thanks 😁 And as hilarious as that is, I’m actually doing something of the same sort 😅, using the other entrance to the road even if it’s a slightly longer route sometimes. So yeah that’s some pretty valid advice 😂

Nope, but I totally understand where you’re coming from 😂 Thank you, and I honestly have to agree, I think the exterior and interior aged really well, doesn’t look too out of place when parked next to some really new cars too. Will try my best to keep y’all updated on this thread.

Ahh that makes sense, ours just hit 53k now, we’ve owned it since 2014 when we got it brand new, but hadn’t been used for many long trips except the occasional run to Jaffna. Yep that’s the issue we’re facing here, and we were quoted around 1 mil to fix it with an engine rehaul by the agent, and we honestly didn’t find it worth going for. It’s pretty bad, drinks around 2-2.5 L ish for around 2500 km. Haven’t noticed any smoke, but once in a while it does make some noise. Stops after a while and runs like butter most other times.

Thanks a lot! It sure does feel great to drive, compared to a good number of cars I've been fortunate enough to try. I haven't spent too much time with it yet but I'd honestly have to agree, ticked most, if not all the boxes for me. xD

Thank you, I'm really happy I could grab hold of one! It's still stock. I do have some sorta plan to get a cat-back exhaust later on, but it's definitely not higher up when it comes to priority. Still happy with the way it sounds now, while not really being attention grabbing. This is on my list of to-do stuff, to get it upholstered/good seat covers in full leather. Will keep in mind, thanks! Yep, I've read your 'French fries' blog posts somewhere down the line, multiple times iirc. Ours is matched almost spec-to-spec with yours, if at all the biggest difference I could find is that the wheels on our 508 are painted in a much lighter shade (although the size and design seem to be the same) I'm happy with how the person I mentioned earlier dealt with things, so I was intending to try and continue getting it checked up there. I've seen the name quite a lot while searching in the AL forums, most of the time with good compliments, so I thought they'd be somewhat trustworthy. But afaik they're also somewhat of a big-name pug garage in Malabe, so do you mean that we'd be better off finding some other smaller-scale technician? Would appreciate any input of recommendations in that case. Yep, it's the 1.6 THP petrol. And with oil burning issues as you'd correctly guessed. Unfortunately it wasn't changed under warranty afaik, not sure of the exact reason why, could've also just been us being ignorant about it. But the warranty was over when we started running into issues iirc, and the quotations for the engine rehaul were so exorbitant we decided not to go ahead with it. Thanks again!

Thank you! And yep, intend to do a thorough detailing pretty soon. Fortunately not xD That's just something we applied after buying it on a bunch of different places like the steering wheel and hood, for religious purposes. Pretty much powder-like so it'll get removed on its own after a while.

Yep, those are aftermarket tail lamps. According to the seller, they’re the only units of this type in SL, but I didn’t bother verifying or feel the need to. Regardless, I really like how they look at night! The pics I had of the interior weren’t that great to look at. I did try snapping a few pics earlier tonight, so will send those. Will try to post any pics of the interior at day later on. And thanks again!

We ended up purchasing an MT FD1! Ik it’s been ages since I made this post, I got busy with a bunch of things in between and even when I got to searching for vehicles, I was just being too picky. First I was sorta paranoid and considered curtain airbags to be crucial if I get t-boned or smth, which was asking for too much considering most vehicles which fit the other criteria I needed. And I think I missed some really good vehicles which were in some faraway provinces just by being too late, by waiting until my dad gets here from Jaffna to go check em out. Later on I did stop being picky and did learn to go check em out asap if I’m interested. I did go and check out a Primera and 406. As much as defensive driving is the biggest key to being safe, I still felt like having dual airbags gave me some sense of security, so that removed most good BN Primeras off the list. The one I checked ended up having loads of issues with a high price already, and I felt like I’d be better off going for something more expensive to begin with. Got a Greasemonkey report done on that too. Did check a 406 executive too with an uncle of mine, and even though I did see some minor red flags here and there was thinking that it’s normal to find those in a car of that age and usage. Was seriously considering it for purchase, but did want a mechanical check up done. I’ve been in touch with Mr Aruna from Throve recently while trying to resolve an engine oil leak on dad’s 508. C**M**t was trying to rip us off at every turn and was quoting for some insanely expensive repairs (not to mention them having created a bunch of problems in the car themselves earlier, which is why we stopped going there from a couple years back for services), and D*m* where we have been giving it for services since then didn't have the necessary brand specific parts required, so Throve it was. Fortunately it wasn’t a big deal according to Mr Aruna so we’ve been managing with top-ups for now. Anyways he let us know after checking the number plate that the 406 had been involved in a major accident, and even though he repaired it, he wouldn’t advise going for it. I was bummed I couldn’t go for it, but then this FD1 got listed the same night we were informed so about the 406. Didn’t waste any time at all in going to inspect it, so went the next day and got a Greasemonkey inspection done too. Ideally would’ve preferred to get one done at Staf***d too but the owner wasn’t coming to Colombo anytime soon. The Greasemonkey report seemed to be pretty fine as well. The owner was someone who dealt with FDs frequently too and was a petrol head, so I was reassured in some way cuz of that as well. Ofc there were some issues here and there but one can’t expect a used car to be completely problem free ig. So we decided to go ahead with the purchase. Just got it home yesterday, took it out a couple of times afterwards but I’m still waiting to get the legalities and basic maintenance & issues sorted out before using it frequently. I’m still have quite a bit to go in mastering driving a manual, but hoping it’ll work out with experience. All in all I’m pretty happy with it, will keep y’all updated! Thanks a lot to @matroska, @AVANTE & everyone else who replied to this post, really helped a lot! Edit: It’s mechanically stock btw, but has a few cosmetic modifications. I still think it looks great and not over the top, but that’s just me ig. The front body kit/ lip is proving to be a bit of a hassle while exiting a road nearby, but the kit is all good other than that!

That’s right! The clues were pretty straightforward yet creative too @Gummybr & @matroska Over to you @matroska!

Once again, this is found in SL

Atp the entire answer is out in plain sight xD Hillman Avenger

Yep, that's right. Over to you!

Here you go. This is found locally.

Checked the NFS wiki and found the TS50 Ford Falcon Never thought twice about the meaning of Hayabusa (if at all thought twas some sorta hurricane or type of wind) so it’s pretty cool and also apt that it’s Falcon in Japanese

Holden Commodore?

Ohh right I'm extremely sorry, wasn't properly aware of the rules, my bad :') Will make sure I stick to them if I get to post later on. Either way the answer's right, it's a Bristol Fighter, built with a Viper V10. Was extremely low-volume (<14),The car manufacturer, which was headquartered in Bristol is no longer functioning. However the parent Bristol Aeroplane company, which produced aircrafts such as the Bulldog (and also another named the Bristol Fighter) went on to be split and merged to form a company now part of British Aerospace (BAE Systems) & Bristol Siddeley, now part of Rolls-Royce. Over to you!
