muikabochi 208 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 All this talk of new cars, let me echo someone elses comment いいなぁ Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Talking of new cars my car has burned its way through the winter tyres in three seasons especially this winter with mostly four wheel drive on. They will just about do one more season by rotating the wheels. Thought they would last longer but guess not. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 How much do you expect to get out of winter tyres, winter tyre folk? Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 For everyday driving to and from work or just popping to the super, you need one of theses. The 200 Series is nice for sure but at ~$100K ....yikes. IMHO Toyota lost their way after the 100 Series. Of course, the best off/on road vehicle ever produced across all brands is the 80 Series......Particularly, ....ahem.....this one! ... 70 series for me. None of this wussy aerodynamic crap.

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 How much do you expect to get out of winter tyres, winter tyre folk? 4 years seems to be about the limit. More due to hardening than tread wear. Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 70 series for me. None of this wussy aerodynamic crap. So...Metabo. Will you be joining the LandCruiser bretheren sometime soon then..? Price of admission on a 70 is steep but the rewards of membership are priceless... And yes...aerodynamic as a brick. Link to post Share on other sites
634-maru 4 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Test drive in the Subaru BRZ. Turn up, had a chat with the guy - my idea to put him at ease (maybe) with my less than perfect Japanese - then went for a ride... him in the passenger seat and telling me where to go. Very nice indeed to drive and an extremely good looking car. Hoshii! Link to post Share on other sites
634-maru 4 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Back seats are funny. They are suitable for child seats, shopping bags... and people who have no legs. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 70 series for me. None of this wussy aerodynamic crap. So...Metabo. Will you be joining the LandCruiser bretheren sometime soon then..? Price of admission on a 70 is steep but the rewards of membership are priceless... And yes...aerodynamic as a brick. Ha ha, would need a lot more Abenomics Kouka before I could afford that. Used to drive a 70 series for work. Loved it, and wanted to get one for personal use, until I saw the sticker price. Great vehicle if someone else is footing the bill. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Metabo Oyaji, I think you should really be spending and spending more (after 1st April of course) to help Abenomics along. Join in the fun and just push it along that bit further. After 1st April of course. Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yes that is annoying! As are cars that are in demand and so they don't discount Ya...you need to find a pink Isuzu.....(Don't laugh...I had one) It should be damned close to free. Mine was and it was a bloody good van. Bulletproof diesel.. Same as this one.. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I sometimes look at the colour of a car and think: - why did they make it in that horrible colour and then - who on earth bought it?!? Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Well, that goes for all kinds of things though right..? It's kind of the reason I drive what I do now....it's not the ubiquitous white, silver or black no name sedan. My wife drives a FUGLY orange Nissan Cube but her decision on that colour was based on seeing the orange metallic Toyota BB .... and the Nissan was most certainly not that. Good little car but damned ugly paint. Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Someone in my neighbourgood has the most horrible car color ever. It's like a dirty pea green. I hope they got a good discount! Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I think it's something to consider for all the "ketchi" gaij living here that an ugly paint used car will sell for a lot less than the exact same car with similar mileage in a white or silver. Link to post Share on other sites
KlingKlang 1 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 If I got a new car, it'd be a cool shiny metallic dark grey. Link to post Share on other sites
