  1. The one with the 200bhp four cyl? yeah great car, but I don't knw if any came to SL...... the 'tezza is pretty rare here anyway...
  2. You're probably right about the build quality..... i dnt think ANYONE can match lexus on that..... The R8 looks fantastic... and it has a pretty impressive spec, but i think i'll put MY money on the Nissan GT-R...
  3. Hi guys one of my friends is looking to buy an Altezza/Is 200 and he wants to know what the price range is..... can anyone help? some guy who has one wants abt 3.8Mill for his...... i tht that was a little high..... is that correct? Appreciate any input Cheers
  4. Shyte.... I confused the LF-A with the IS-F...... Sorry
  5. ahh.... thanx for the info.... it looks cool
  6. I think hes tkin abt looks...... but i duuno.... i think the honda wins on that too......
  7. yeah deffa macha...... u shud have come as well, it was HILARIOUS
  8. Wow.... now thats Respect man....... Good thing you posted these so that everyone can understand the heritage of Abarth........ btw that car with the vertical Orange Tailfin-like thing on the back...... is that an X /19? What IS that gadget anyway?
  9. hmm.....I Didn't realize that there was any confusion over this...... it IS you j/k but honestly bro I don't quite think a 3 door freelander is going to help you much...... I f a ZX couldn't then i doubt a Freelander can..... lolz
  10. @ Devinda , Oh I dunno.... This one has it's Merits as well...... The NSX was always the "understated supercar" nuh....... @ Gtam, now that you mention it, It does have slight corvette overtones...... not ALL that prominent tho....
  11. Tell me about it...... That was one hell of a Thrill ride!!!! I don't think we would have had as much fun in the "Lady" had you brought her....... Took my opinion of the old Bus to new levels.....
  12. I Think he means the Z....
  13. Might come in handy innit?
  14. Well then..... looks like it's an M car.....
  15. Thats Brilliant.... CAR was the only mag that i truly respected, and it was sad to see them going down the "lads mag" route........ So great if they've sorted themselves out..... must go out and buy a Feb issue...... ya i've noticed the uk mag scene too......I can't explain it myself......
  16. True.... the car park on the other side fulfils the needs of most customers...... do we have any method of getting approval? Madz? any ideas??
  17. You know, I went to Richard Peiris the other day (Hyde Park), and I realized that the car park is also an idea for a venue...... It's plenty big, and now quite well sufaced....... only problem wud be approval tho
  18. I Agree totally on most of this, but can I just ask one question? The Alfa 155 was a well documented case, but wasn't there a facelift in the mid 1990's that sorted them out? I remeber reading a 1995 Review of a 155 (in CAR) that concluded "A Car Transformed"....... iT said the facelift had taken the 155 to a whole new Level ....... Or was that only in the UK?
  19. Seriously? I've Never come across it....... Sure it's an M though? there was a Z3 Coupe too........

    No, those production years are correct(ish) for the first generation Rover 200 (also known as the 200/400).... introduced in 1989/90....... the maestro was in production from 1983-1993. the 200/400 was intended as it's replacement, but in typical Rover Fashion, the Maestro lived on longer than expected please note that this is NOT the 1995 400......which was basically a rebadged, slightly reworked Honda Domani..... this car had FAR more Rover input (although it had a lot of honda in it as well), and gathered very good reviews for a Golf-Class car......
  22. Z4's - Red Spotted at the Shed at the Petrol shed near SBC... (Red not Burgundy) No machan, I was talking about a white E34 5 Series 4 door which had the M kit..... wondered if it was an M5...... I think you've mixed posts up......

    Didn't mix up the two ovals mate...... Mixed up the Blue Oval with the the Blue Propellor (As in Beemer)...... I meant that BMW was a strong brand......... Typo there...... but will agree abt the strength of the "GREEN OVAL" Dunno if ppl will buy LR 3-wheelers though....... they might break down too much
  24. Black? One of my friends once told me abiut a "traffic light Drag" he had with a black E34 5 series with M Body kit (He Didn't see the Badges).... His car was an E28 520i, which is pretty rapid, and he got totally left in the dust....... maybe that was the car..... he said he remembers a 19- number.... and what about that white car then??
  25. What's in a Name? not much people would say, but actually, names are VERY important, ESPECIALLY when It comes to cars..... Don't buy it? what if Ford had tried to market the Mustang with it's corporate internal Designation of "SN95"? would it have sold as much?? Try to Imagine Buddy Guy singing "SN 95 Sally" and you'll get what i'm driving at..... but honestly, car makers nowadays don't pay that much attention to car names...... look at europe, all the car names from there are basically Alpha-Numeric Soup: 545i, E63 AMG, 166, 407 etc etc....... not really very creative is it? Japan on the other hand, has a long tradition of coming up with very interesting names for cars, most of which rarely (if ever) make literal sense in English..... this is supposedly because jap car names only have to produce a "harmonious sound" to be accepted...... (so we have names like Supra, Celica, Allion, Verossa, Tidia, Fuga etc) but they also have a Knack of having some total Nutter Names..... and so without further ado..... taken from the Car and Driver account of the 1995/6 Tokyo Motor Show.... we have (All Real btw, no one can make THESE Up) THE CRAZIEST CAR NAMES ON THE PLANET Mitsubishi Delica Space Gear Cruising Active Suzuki Every Joy Pop Turbo Subaru Domingo Aladdin Subaru Sambar Dias Astonish!!! (the "!"s are part of the name) Mazda Bongo Friendee Daihatsu Rugger Field Sports Resin Top Mitsubishi Libero RVR Super Wild Gear... Toyota Midship Runabout 2 Seater Interesting? it gets better..... concept cars provide op for further madness.... Mitsubishi being the prime perpetrator..... the HSR series were interesting performance concepts, but their names stood for "Harmonious Science Research Vehicle" but that sounds normal in comparison to the GAUS and MAUS concepts which mean, respectively.... Global Adventure Utility System & Mini Active Urban Sandal (I am NOT making this up and please don't ask how Footwear got involved ) but the Grand Prize Award winner is Isuzu.... for variations of the vehicle known to us as the Trooper..... These are domestic models btw, there are two of 'em. the first is the Bighorn Izon which sounds okay..... what takes the cake is variant number two, the MU Wizard.... sounds fairly sane right? but then we wonder, what does the MU stand for?? the Answer? .................................... .................................. ................................. "Mysterious Utility" Are these guys priceless or what??
