Quick update and for a while surely the last bit of modification on mine: Clubsport set with net and bar from German company Stern Performance. I am happy with the quality of the bar and the carpet, car should be around 30 kilos lighter, and I finally have some light in the boot. With my...

My daily (15,000 kilometres per year) is an Abarth 595C Pista. Quick enough for such a small car, unfortunately very uncomfortable standard seats for my body when sitting in it more than half an hour. Thus thinking of replacing it. I want something with: - amiable engine sound - sufficient...

Avoid driving on summer tyres at all cost when there is a (big) layer of snow on the roads. Traction is never the issue, but braking or cornering capabilities are reduced to almost zero. I took my car out (here in Germany) last weekend on dry roads just below 0 degrees Celsius for 40 miles of...

Well, I have to say, based on the experience I made with some delivery van drivers over the years, Mercedes was well adviced pursuing the "Listen to the race and rally drivers" approach Toyota is promoting now for the Mk2 Yaris. These van drivers do not take any prisoners, aren't they?

As we did not have a "proper" online-only approach so far in Germany, what does this approach mean in the UK? Is the ordering process handled completely with Toyota GB directly? So no room for negotiations on price and additional services/bits included?

That is the standard fanfare for media outlets. You "need" to hype the new thing to be invited to the next events and get early access to the latest products. The eye-opener for me was when reading my German sports car magazine and on the introduction of the current BMW 3 series (G20) a few...

In my opinion, Japan's car industry was at their best between the mid-eighties to mid-noughties. No matter whether it was Nissan, Mitsubishi, Honda, Mazda or Toyota, all of them had a good choice of affordable sports cars for common people and halo sports cars. That is why a R34 GT-R always...

Displaying some nice details of the car Oh, and if you like GT-R R34, then it is also worth a look. If you don't, then please unregister from this forum.:devilish:

Je suppose qu'il y a peu de GR Yaris en France, parce qu'il y a une très forte pénalité fiscale sur les moteurs à combustion puissants. Combien coûte une GR Yaris en France ? 60.000 euros ? Plus ?

And all of a sudden ... a 992 GT3 RS seems so ... reserved and shy.

The German promotional text talks about an "individual setup" for the new owners of that limited edition. No further explanation as of now. The closest guess would be a suspension for individual tune. Perhaps there might be some features from the GRMN version in Japan, who knows. Compared to...

Enjoy that totally different, yet also highly emotional and entertaining experience.

Not only did I get excited, I also got horny. Is this normal, too?

You might need a suggested route from Cochem to Loreley in addition: Google Maps

I am one of the cautious guys when thinking of driving on the Nordschleife. The 8/10th advice from chopper I can definitely agree. Always drive so that you can react to unexpected events, such as an accident behind a blind corner or fluids on the track. There are a few rules on track which make...
