Absolute bullshido right there.

Damn, I really liked their concept, especially with the passthrough storage all the way from front to back. Plus, it seemed like a worth aesthetic successor to the Defender 90/110/127.

Nor at any other time, and the seagulls in Edinburgh are bold.

Probably one of those drive-through daiquiri stands in Louisiana; idk I don’t eat in my car.

Respect. 

Then we’ll have a self-fulfilling prophecy, and I won’t buy one: Toyota will kill its own manual-equipped Supra.

I bought my last car new in 2015 with a stick; haven’t seen anything that made me want to give it up. This might do just that, but also, it might not be what I want, even with a stick. Manual gets me in the door; driving experience gets me to leave with the car.

It’s increasingly confusing because petrol is sold in litres. :/

Some areas of Scotland have midges, which are actually worse, and in those areas you’ll find very fine screening on some windows.

I worry a lot about the waste of it all

I like the way you go about this a lot.

Oh dang! I can’t wait to go test drive one!

I did have a seagull invade my flat once, but that was through the chimney, not the window.

One of my pet hates is when people offload a car and opt to buy a new one instead of doing the normal, regular maintenance that a tool requires. 

You’ll end up like any of us who have lived for a significant amount of time in both places: choosing the word that leads to the least amount of confusion or embarrassment regardless of country you’re in. Those things that hold up your trousers will always be braces, but also ‘dipping your lights’ isn’t going to…

After 14 years and 88,000 miles I would expect that the battery, spark plugs, tires, drive belt, brake pads/rotors/shoes, and any recalls had been replaced. I would most certainly hope that the coolant, brake, and automatic transmission fluid had also been done. That’s the maintenance that’s part of owning any vehic…

That CVT is not great, sadly.

If you’re depending on it, it can’t leave you stranded like that. My dad had an FJ60 that he (and I) loved, but when it left him similarly stuck on an important day, that was the day he decided to sell it. I know he wishes he had been able to keep it as a project truck and buy something new, but that wasn’t the…

I recently had this issue: my car needed an engine rebuild. The parts and labour cost amortised over a year were certainly more than a new car loan, but there was nothing new that I wanted to replace it with (and with the car market being so ridiculously overheated, I didn’t want to spend so much money on something I…

Trust issues with a car are a BIG thing, for sure.
