Our Cars (dream or actual)

@brock really cool van. I had a Subaru Sambar mini truck and loved it. Amazing how great those machines run. Mine was a 1996 and didn’t cause me any trouble for the 5 years I owned it. Only issue here in Ontario, Canada is the right hand drive. Very difficult to find anyone to insure them. Enjoy the new ride!

@louisbosco you might be interested in this review of the Yaris GR.

Surely the "Should you buy one?" section could be reduced to one word: yes.

I took a trip to Melbourne last week, and it turned out that one of the Toyota dealers had the Yaris GR in stock, so I went to take a quick look. Didn't get a chance to drive it.
What really surprised me is how light the doors feel. If you are after a VW style clunk, you're looking at the wrong car.
Interior space upfront is good. I'm nearly 6'3" / 190 cm tall, with long legs, and I could fit in. But the rear seats look like they'll only fit babies, and the luggage space is tiny.

Lol I wish it was bigger. I see 3-4 everyday. I text my wife daily about trading in her Jeep for one
Sadly, the nearest dealer is 2+ hours away, which means I would be walking to work a lot haha
I love how they look!

I was offered this at a very fair price last week. It's very original. I want it so much, but do not have a garage. I spoke to H about it, his answer "Buy it and build a garage"…..
I could probably get away with buying the car, I'd get a little bit of shit, but that would pass. Building a garage would be a fast track to divorce.....

buy it and worry about the rest later

Do you have space for a freestanding Carport type structure? Wouldn’t eliminate the elements, but it would keep rain off and the tires from getting too much sun…

As some of you guys may remember we had some work done to our Impreza, some time ago, which took the BHP to 500. Along with the numerous mods was the requirement for the installation of an Exedy twin plate clutch that was able to handle the power. Driving with the twin plate clutch was like learning to drive again and, sadly, Jules couldn't get used to it and chose to not drive the car.
Living where we live there is the need for plenty of hill starts, tons of clutch control and regular town driving. Twin plate clutches do not like or appreciate this type of driving. After nearly two years of driving the car with the twin plate clutch, it is about to fail as it is slipping more and more.
Good news; the car is going to the garage for removal of Exedy twin plate clutch and associated flywheel and fitment of an Exedy "Pink Box" kit, which is a straightforward organic clutch kit, up rated, with associated flywheel. What this really means is Jules will, once again, be able to drive the car which we are both over the moon about. Happy days

Oh, just a small pre fab garage. Something you can add onto later.

A beauty! It would be a wonderful prop for IH gear photo sessions, which would deservedly take it from hobby status to investment grade asset.
