Corolla Test Pilot

Cars that fuxxorred give me wood. Hehe.

In my opinion, if you have two wheels in the air, and two wheels on the road with actual grip, and you're still negotiating the corner, you're about to start using your roof to smash shit, and the world for you is about to become a sad place.

and yeah, just did me some hail marys and shit to atone for the blasphemery in the last post...

Jesus man, I just procrastinated hard... Just chilled all night in the uni comp lab looking on the net at cars and shit, instead of workin on the assignment thats due at midday. Oh yeah guys, if you value your retinas, and don't want them seared by 12 continuous hours of CRT destruction, NEVER go to the top gear website... oh jesus I am fuxxored...

When I saw those rims I fell over. Luckily the wood they gave me propped me up so I didn't hit the floor. Then I saw the Beemer, and my wood did some crazy springy thing and flipped me onto my back. My head hurts...

Bloody awesome man, keep it up.

I feel the call of the dark side... I've gotta say that my fave out of the list is the black 20v rona down the bottom. That thing is overrated. Thats the kind of car that makes me want to do something stupid, like take out a personal loan...

Sorry man, but even in mags I've never even seen an old soarer I would swap that for. Too cool.

Ask 7shades avatar if its a Messershmidt or not...

One gazillion....

Call mates. Go to pub. 15 mins there and studying won't seem so important.

Kelly's Wrecking 490 Beams Rd, Zillmere 4034 (07) 3263 4433 Massive yard with tonnes of old Jap shit. Quite a bit of vannage. If the model you're after was sold in any great number here they're bound to have some.

I have to drive company because my current set of wheels is an overheating xe. Three speed auto for the lose. But yeah, a while ago some crazy bogans smashed our fin. Luckily our manager that night was Turbo, an even crazier bogan, who went out to kick ass with an oven end (a metre long piece of stainless, for the uneducated), and the rest of the car remained unscathed. And I find it far easier to slide in the dry; when it rains, front grip is equal to zero. Oh yeah, and ours is a 1.3.

Oh, and there's also the crushing flaw that I forgot to mention, mainly because months of subjection to its devilry has numbed me to the awesome evilness. Electric throttles suck. When I first started to drive it, it was a stallfest. It's amazing how big the impact of a half second delay between pressing the accelerator and the engine revving is on the car's driveability for a noob. If you give the pedal a quick jab, your foot can be back off the pedal before the thing revs. I drove an n14 pulsar the other day, and nearly wet myself with joy upon redicovering the meaning of throttle response. Desensitization is a terrible thing. When they were introduced on Commos a year or two ago, I remember a comment in a Motor magazine sidebar. The journalist inquired of an engineer how many throttle cable failures had been experienced since the VT's inception, to warrant the switch to drive by wire. "None that I'm aware of."

Hey guys. I'm interested in knowing if any of you nutters have piloted Echos or Yarisssss(whatever, the plural of Yaris), and what you think of them. Being a Domino's bitch, I am tasked with this torture on an almost nightly basis. The things I have learned are: FWD sucks Aircon sucks...all of my power when the shitty compressor switches on at 5 grand in second. Electric steering sucks harder than Thai ladyboys Ditto autos (especially pointless bloody gated ones) ABS sucks Olympic Sprinter tyres suck Giant Yaris doors 1 foot thick and 5 feet long suck Ditto the crazy tree trunk A-pillars Central instruments suck Digital fuel gauges suck ridiculously variable amounts Echo manual shift quality sucks, along with its spongy clutch Echos 'eye in the sky' seating position sucks Mind drilling beep caused by leaving the lights on, or having the ignition on without putting on a seatbelt sucks Fuel cards WIN!!!!
