@000_three I used to be obsessed with the Toyota Soapra. A Mk3 Supra with a Mk2 Soarer front end.

@000_three I want an E so badly, but they spenny 😞

@Graememarina Despite all the other BS being posted (opinions are like a-holes and all that), here's another two.

@000_three One of them car counter things with the black tubes across the road?

[Tastes Like Petrol @LikePetrol]

@000_three The lip spoilers are better than no spoiler. I can't stand how the quarter panels tower over the boot lid without a spoiler

@000_three It is indeed my old Skyline. Hated how it looked with the wing off tbh 😄 I actually refitted the wing and it looked 100x better.

@000_three I still pine for an old, tidy, stock KP61 Starlet, good luck with that now though :(

Well heck, we did it! 28 years since it was last on the road, we finally have a fresh new WOF and the rego taken off hold. Just in time to enjoy some summer cruising. #morris #leyland #marina #marinacoupe #coupe #british

@000_three lol there are heaps of coupes in the UK. Classic clickbait. I do like that spoiler though...

[Tastes Like Petrol @LikePetrol]

@000_three Sorry but you'll need to pry this one from my cold dead hands 😆 it's a keeper. Even if I get bored, it'll go into storage before I sell it. I may know of a Twin Carb coupe coming up for sale though.

@000_three At one point an employee of my local supercheap had a grumpy sounding V8 NA MX5...

@Anthony90994735 @timoldland Hopefully nowhere, Renault can get in a fire. Their parts have been the worst part of the current alliance.

@Hannughh So, take the cute lovable little Honda E, copy it, and give it a terrifying multiple eyed face from a horror game. Nice.

@000_three They also came in a rare panoramic hard top where the whole top is basically tinted glass. What's wild to me is that these also have a soft top under the hard top. I'd love to own an SL500

@comfypari Such a shame. I'd love another RA. Mine was # 590

[Tastes Like Petrol @LikePetrol]

@000_three Only had that once or twice and by golly it wakes you up 😆

[Tastes Like Petrol @LikePetrol]

@000_three The term "worth" is doing a lot of work here. 90s "hero" cars have been a long way from what they're worth for a long time 😔 anyone paying 40-50k for a chaser is an idiot.

Please have patience and give space to learners. We were all there once. I often see people tailgating and driving aggressively around Learners, it's just not on. Don't be a dick.

[El Drapo @el_drapo]

To the cvnt in an Audi A5 who aggressively hit his horn then overtook a row of cars as a clearly L-plated learner (my son) was trying to execute a tricky right turn hillstart onto the A26 this afternoon - I hope your turkey teeth fall out before you’ve finished paying for them 😡

@M0JEC @joncoupland It's out of control now, but the R50 was actually a fairly small car for it's time. Smaller than a similar age Suzuki Swift, and that's classified as a "supermini" Segment car 🤷‍♂️

[Tastes Like Petrol @LikePetrol]

@M0JEC @joncoupland I'm only commenting on the R50/53 and they're significantly smaller than an RX300. The later ones are a joke. In saying that, the age old "but it's bigger than the old ones!" Argument is BS and just rose tinted glasses thinking the old ones were better than they are.

[Tastes Like Petrol @LikePetrol]

@joncoupland A very unpopular opinion, but anything with more than say... 300hp, that is only driven on the street. That's stupid power to be driven on public roads and only used to drive like a complete knob.
