Post Whoring - Part 2

[Pericles]

isn't this the incident that happened in Galle sometime ago?

Kandy, no? Some rugger match or such?

[Magnum]

Well too bad!

Nopes some elephant polo match organized by the bugger who owns that island hotel in Weligama, Geoffrey what-ever. That's the last time they played 'elephant polo' I bet!

Edit: Just viewed the video, linked by 'isam' which says its an 'annual event'. Who knew? I guess elephant polo is all the rage amongst these " I-own-an-island-resort" folks.

Ah, yes, polo. I remember seeing the story when it happened.

Within 6 minutes you have posted 11 posts which each post consist only 1 photo.

You can include 10 photos in to one post and if so, much easier to enjoy them.

Just a friendly suggestion only.

An underrated model

Balls, if anything it was overrated (as well as being over complicated and overweight). The 300ZX, Supra and RX7 wiped the floor with it's fat ass back in the day as any group test from back then will tell you clearly.

Everyone at some point thinks a stupid thoughts. But only a real idiot let's it outside the boundaries of his mind.

It had a lot of tech, yes, like 4WD, 4WS, active Aero and a very complicated climate control system etc etc but all of that made it really heavy and the technology of the time was not advanced enough to make it feel like a great drive like the tech of the GTR does today.

The contemporary Skyline GTRs (R32 and 33) also had 4WD and 4WS and such but were way better to drive according to those who have driven them because they were lighter and more hardcore than the 3000GT

Left hand Premio

Left hand Premio

Is it actually a Premio or something else ? I have seen several manufacturers release JDM look-a-like models for China and Russia (and Taiwan). For example the Toyota Reiz is a "for China" version of the previous Mark X. The newer Mark X is called something else... Also the Corona Premio was made in Taiwan as a LHD vehicle for the local market.

Found this in an Allion/Premio group

Aha...and then again at first glance the following can be thought to be a manual LHD Allion/Premio 260

It is actually a Zotye Z300

The guy who posted that was from Paraguay so I just googled "Toyota Premio Paraguay" and couple of LHD Premios came up o.O

On the topic of Premio, any idea what this switch does?

Its there in the 2015 model

[Crosswind]

That LHD Premio is a shoddy conversion job. Check the gear lever and the center console... Do they expect the drivers to press the shift release button with the little finger?????

and the driver's foot rest on the left side is still there. there's a color difference between the dashboard beige and the center console beige (locally done dashboard maybe). The passenger airbag cover is just hilarious!!!

"Idle stop" / "smart start stop" activation and de-activation switch. The symbol is pretty much a standard now (at least in most Japanese cars and the few euro ones I have seen)
