^ WTF? confusing

The U.S. is slowly opening up to the idea of "Micro Cars."
In 2008 the Smart Passion Coupé will be available at the Mercedes Benz Dealerships, I think my buddy might be getting one. Other than that we only like big gas/petrol consuming machines hahaha.

Keep us updated on your 14 Gav! I think I might browse over at your UK forums to see whats up

i happen to love some of the domestics built from the late 50's to middle 80's. everything else is pretty much garbage imo.

Hey now, american cars are on the rebound. They are of equal quality to most stuff out there. (except for chrysler)

I remember a commercial for the Sport Ka where it cuts a cat's head off with it's sunroof.

Ry is right, you know, I pulled up next to a chick in a Solstice today, and I'm slowly starting to like that vehicle. It's not much bigger than my Miata and I was surprised because even Civics tend to tower largely over my little roadster.

Oh well . . . .Gav . . .that 14 is pure orgasm, let us know when you start tinkering ^_^

yea, it was only a gt with uk 3s-ge engine. i didnt really do alot to it as i brought it to help me save for an r32 gtst 2.5, i had a bmw 328is coupe before that which i loved to pieces bt i got the jap bug n wnt be goin back to bimmers.

ive not got any pics of the mr2 im afraid, i started to strip it and fitted a jdm spec 3s-ge engine to giv it a lil more 'oooomph!' bt got bored of it and sold it to a friend for £500 lol.

thats wen i came across my s14. i noticed it on autotrader.co.uk while i was lukin for my r32. it was very clean and in bright red so stood out a mile. the guy was sellin it cheap because the front bumper has minor cosmetic damage (a small crack) that neeeded attendin to. that is all gonna be done jus after xmas, then ill start the performance work on it, im only lukin for 350hp or there abouts bt i wanna combine it with a good suspention package which will allow me to corner at speed to gain an advantage wen on track days 8). i like the idea of havin a sleeper bt ive recently seen a nice body kit that i like. was thinkin the kit below, ditchin the spoiler completely, and 18" volk te37's in black with stainless rim? wot u guys think?



so.... only time will tell. you guys (and the ones on japmids.com) will be the 1st to know wot my decision is ill keep u posted!

You guys sound pretty ****ing stupid.
It's not like he was speaking Nigerian,
just read what context it's in for Christ Sakes.
Pretty obvious what he meant.


Gav I like that look
Get some nice TE37s but in good sizes/offsets (10.5J!!!!)
Keep us posted
