Awesome little ride! What's under the hood? (...other than hamsters )

1500cc VVTi engine, nothing too spectacular, but it doesn't have much weight to shift, and it has really stiff suspension.

That's all you need then!

Word.

Needs to be that pink/peach color from GT2.

Yeah, nothing says manly like a nipple coloured shopping basket car

Word. In fact, you should paint a nipple on the roof.

Sold the RS Vitz for a very healthy profit.

Test drove a Toyota 86, which I enjoyed a lot. It was a fairly sedate test with the owner in the passenger seat, but I enjoyed driving it.

Problem being, I am still an unemployed bum. But I can see that upon being employed, if I can get a job with parking at the job, I could be seriously in the 86 market.

Unfortunately if I get a job that I have to catch a train to every day, this would mean that there's probably no point owning something as nice as an 86, as I'd still have to own a beater car to leave parked at the station every day. I know from experience, that if I daily drive a beater, the shiny car that I have in the driveway at home simply never gets used, because I end up using the beater for everything. So I need to get a job that I can drive to work, that way I will actually be able to own an 86 for a daily, and have the rollcaged club car in the garage for racing / rallying duties.

Did another oil change on the appliance Corolla.

Seems that it will use 500-600ml of oil per 6,000km, which is pretty good for a car with (now) 474,000 on the clock. Particularly in view of the fact that the 1zzfe is an engine known to burn oil commonly.

Job front, about to sign a three month trial contract in a job that I can drive to, and has car parking. 86 purchase looking more realistically possible.
