Mr Newey’s car is certainly interesting. He works in a secret organization anyway, so it’s not surprising that the details are a bit vague. From what I can gather, it has allegedly had a section chopped out of the body to make it smaller; flat floor with relocated exhaust; bootlid propped open for “brake cooling”, but…

Absolutely. The picture above is of a P11.

Hottest Primera had an SR20VE VVL engine for Japan market only, but limited it to only being available with a CVT gearbox. Boo.

Nissan Japan never sold an Almera. You may be thinking of the Pulsar, but you’d still be wrong. The Primera is the G20, which is the Primera (P11 for chassis code freaks).

This is certainly true in the UK. The default driving test is manual, which qualifies you to drive manual and automatic vehicles. If you only want to deal with automatics, you can request an auto-only test, which grants you an auto-only licence. Most people sit the standard test, and if they buy an auto later down the…

A Banzai tree? That sounds pretty crazy! ;)

In local police news, The officers of the Suffolk Constabulary have warned young people that “driving at 90 down those country lanes” is a very successful way to end up dead. They should always drive sensibly and obey the speed limit. Thanks, Ed!

Au contraire, mon ami. Carlos came in to rescue a company which had a range of bland cars that didn’t sell well. He re-invigorated Nissan design. However, he didn’t reintroduce cocaine parties or crazy over-confidence at the expense of profit, so it’s still conservative at heart.

It was an interesting remix of the theme from Terminator, and then someone started yelling over the top of it. It would have been better to fade it out when the Pandengine was started.

Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. The pinnacle of Fast and Furious movies.

Is anyone else thinking 1987 Lamborghini Portofino?

Since we’re all using our imaginations here (and those things are UNLIMITED), I’m going to re-jigger your suggestion a bit.

Yeah, dude, it’s clearly BAMBI. Bambi ain’t no fox. Raphael’s Disney game is weak.
