Oh man...That took me back. Growing up in 80's Vancouver (Richmond). Expo 86 and Expo Ernie, the scream machine. Yup the Japanese pavilion was a highlight, with the MagLev. I also remember the GM pavilion had a Fiero, which at the time I thought was a poor man’s Ferrari 😆, I believe they also had the C4 Corvette. But…

Apparently Canada’s JTF2 was the first foreign special forces to skirmish with ISIS, that was a while back. I believe they were trainer/advisors to the Kurds and were forced to open fire on ISIS milita, to protect the Kurds.

That would be appropriate, being as there a dime a dozen, up here in Canuckland. A regular plain won't do either...gotta dump at least $25 large on custom work to even stand out from the herd. Interesting fact, Vancouver is the #3 three market for Bentley in North America. That's sick money. In an area with 2.3…

But Damn the women are fine....

The difference between Vancouver and London's supercar driving student elite? The Vancouver drivers don't care if its winter. And our weather in winter is the same. Rain, rain, and more rain. With an occasional 1/2 inch of snow that brings the city traffic to a grinding halt, and the tire shops get back onto the…

In Richmond, 12 mins is how long it takes a Lexus/BMW/Audi/MB to back into a parking spot at Richmond Center/Aberdeen Center/Parker Place/Generic Asian strip mall....

The problem is in relating these two different eras of cars. VTEC , yo!, and Subaru with its variable valve system. Its much tougher to meet emissions and fleet fuel economy goals, now, compared to the ninties , and its VTEC, yo!, fueled dreams. That's why even NA stalwarts Honda and BMW are heading down the forced…

250hp from a 2.0 litre motor reasonable? That would make it one of the highest, if not thee highest horsepower per litre motor in a production car! In this era of emissions, EPA, C.A.F.E targets highly unlikely. Now if it was pushed out to 2.5 liters, that might do it. I don't want to see a turbo, seems it would ruin…

Amazing power? Yes. Handling no. The whole point of the BRZ is light weight, low center of gravity. If you've openedthe hood on the Toyobaru twins, you'll see an engine sitting at knee level. Unless BMW could build a boxer for this chassis, I don't see a benefit.

The Avro Arrow, was earlier. The F-15's initial designs and development occurred in the 70's. The F-15 was build because the US felt it was falling behind in the then USSR in capabilities. The Arrow in its era was arguably far more advanced than its contemporaries. I believe it even had a rudimentary fly by wire…

Soul? A poor little turn of phrase to describe electric cars. I think "character", strikes the right tone though. Most pure electric powered cars will have essentially the same driving, acceleration/ torque curve, sound...if that can describe what an electric motor makes...more like a humming sound, you know, like a…

hmmm....Richmond BC Canada. Any 3 series Beemer. The ambiguous "Richmond Civic"

Isn't the Super Hornet really the better alternative to the wildly expensive F35 program? A true multirole dual engine platform. The Australian Air force have decided to go this route, in looking to replace their front line fighters. The Canadian air force is also having some serious doubt's about the acquisition of…

Living in Richmond BC...Yawn...a GTR. Try Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Bentley's. Each and every day. Richmond is like Miami north, except its cold and wet, but the Asian girls are hot! BMW 3 series= Richmond civic.

Thats why this car is fun. Stop light drag races, besides being stupid, will get your ass in a whole lot of trouble. In my neck of the woods, Vancouver BC, it will also get your car impounded, and a shit load of fines. Power, and 0-60, topspeed...its just a dick measuring contest. If you want more "power", sure you…

Yes, it could use more power. So could the space shuttle. Funny how with the BRZ/FR-S twins its always an issue. Its like soccer in the US, unless there's stats to back it up, no ones convinced. Guess what you've got choice. Don't like it? Buy the Genesis, Mustang, GTI...insert your bias. I guess the gestation period…

Cause the engine, minus the direct injection, is Subaru. If there's gonna be any factory power adders, not just fancy K&Ns, it'll come via Subaru, and possibly STi. That's just a wild guess. Rumor is Subaru is ready to ditch the D4 direct inject, for there own developed system. That leaves the Toyota contribution…
