    Even the new Civic (a fun to drive car), CHR (a crossover aimed for youngsters) & Swift (chuckable fun hatchback) have manual options available except no one brought down any (for the civic a few made it it seems). So I don't have hopes that a Juke (a 7 mil vehicle) will be ordered with a manual because anyone who has 7 million ready and wants to buy a Juke is usually not the type to go after a manual.

    Put a pic down here. Would love to see that. How much did it cost you btw? How would you compare the CAT with the JCB phones? I heard JCB is only good with toughness and everything else sucks on those.

    You had a Motorola Razr & Nokia 7600 those days? You must have lost your virginity at such a young age? Do you know how much the 7600 is going for these days? It's crazy. Almost impossible to find one anymore. Yes I know what you mean but to think about it, having an iPhone 7 and A20 together wouldn't be considered broke in here lol. But the true rich own/have owned a 3310

    The Lumias were good phones, especially the camera on that. I wasn't a big fan of the windows layout. E71? Me likeee.... I loved the E72 back when it launched. Have an E5 from 2010 still works like a charm. Those were tough business phones back then.

    I get it, those companies came out with some funky stuff back in the day. The Symbian OS was brilliant but it also was Nokias downfall as they trusted it way too much without updating it to keep up with the competition. Even everyone in my family had a Nokia until 2012 when everyone switched to iPhones and Samsungs as the Symbian was just not worth it anymore for daily use compared to android. Now the only Nokias still in "daily use" with us are the 8110 4G (banana phone, more of a fashion item, not that good) & a 105. The new Nokia smartphones are nice too. The Nokia 8 Sirocco (one piece aluminum) and 7 Plus are truly good looking things with good software and camera. My first phone was a Nokia 6060, it straight up looked like someone converted the Knight rider KITT car into a phone. That laser like light and that heavy metallic finish.. Truly the Finnish knew what they were doing.

    Did you do that with 120gsm or 80/100gsm paper? Can't find 120 here men?

    Good stuff.. Are you into antique OS only or old tech in general? I'm into old phones. Have a few nokias (some dead), recently got an E5? and trying to acquire a Nokia 6600 and E72 in black (My dream phone when It first launched) qwerty keyboard, aluminum cover, GT Racing & Spiderman Pre installed.. Damn they don't make them like they used to anymore. Only gripe is can't seem to sync up with the Ovi store app on my computer and download some stuff. Even the shop guy isn't sure on how to do so.

    Hi, welcome and congratulations on the purchase! When was the last time the car had a wheel alignment done? That's an important thing. The only thing that comes to mind for now is a bad wheel bearing.

    Nicee ones and nice shots.. Me gusta! Yeah I'm in the model builders, hotwheels and diecast family group.I used to collect catalogues too and had some good ones but gave away/lost them over time. I only have a caddy lineup & Corvette C7 catalogue for now straight out of the GM Showroom. I'm into drawing too. Currently doing up a '54 MG TF?
  13. AVANTE
    Yup! Does 25.32 kilometers to the liter too!
  14. AVANTE
    Yes sir! Not that big of a collection but I do love collecting diecasts and little stuff, even have a few old vinyl records, currencies, etc. Sometimes I check around ebay and other websites on the latest diecasts even though I'm too broke to buy anything besides a hotwheels? What about you?

    Gearbox rebuild? That's an awesome experience! I heard the Galle place does full restorations for local customers, is this true?

    Daihatsu charades are dirt cheap and simple cars. There a few rusty examples for sale. Go for a G100/G101, those have more parts availability than a G10. Morris minors are worth a try too I think. The A-series engines are said to be very mechanic friendly and there's even a shop in Galle that makes brand new parts and panels for the minor. @kusumsiri thoughts on this? Post 1969 VW Beetles in need of restoration are sweet too!

    Sadly that's a no-no. I travel from Yala to Palk strait for work everyday so I expect atleast 13.45769420 kmpl average.

    Saw this earlier but didn't see that hell of a price tag. Poor Audi TT. Guy isn't 100% wrong though, considering that Audi & Bugatti are together in the same group. Also I think he mistyped 420mph as 250mph ?

    What are the legal obstacles one has to pass through in order to do a motorcycle engine swap in a car? (for example, a 1000cc CBR engine into a 1275cc mini?) has anyone attempted such a project in lanka before? I know the drawbacks and the engineering involved but no idea of the legality. 

    Edit: seems there is an R1 engined Mini here now. But that's meant for racing only.
