They're illegal unless otherwise signed in WA. And we indicate left just before the exit (or at least we're supposed to). Perth drivers haven't quite grasped solid white lines either, the only thing that'll stop them crossing is a concrete barrier. And to stay on topic, those indicators are...

No, I haven't driven one. Maybe it looks much better in the flesh and just doesn't photograph well. But based on that image you've posted I don't like the styling at all.

I too had pie for lunch! Pepper steak from the bakery in Bindoon. Up here for the weekend for a mate's wedding.

Are we looking at the same image? That thing's hideous! With a rear end that can't quite decide whether it wants to be a Civic or not.

Makes it hard to hear the radio! Plus it's not always warm and dry here, and even if it was I can't always get around looking like The Stig.

It doesn't have a solid roof. Nor a windscreen for that matter.

So, to catch up on this thread, @Oddjob's still pissed off from that beemer passing him on the track, @komdotkom's mate is pretty fast and my most sensible option would be to take an 86/BRZ modify away the anaemic mid-range and get some proper tyres on it.

Isn't that the recipe for botulism?

To be clear, I don't have 100k to spend on a fast car. It was more a case of lots of "that's a cool car", "oh, they're a hundred k plus". If anything I'd be looking at half that. I think it'll be a case of looking at what's out there, working out rough TCO then deciding if it's something I...

It's a neutral and high-smokepoint so not an olive oil replacement. I've never used it for that purpose so not entirely sure what it tastes like.

Should have been clear, second hand. New would be even more eye watering. I've been taking a quick look and it seems fast cars are much more than I thought and depreciation hasn't hit as hard as I've hoped. Maybe it's as silly of an idea as I thought. The three A110s on Carsales at the moment...

At least rice bran oil's available in big bottles again. Although I have a feeling it's far costlier now.

I've been toying with the idea of a fast car recently. Does anyone make anything that's like the Toyota 86 but fast that's not 100K? I like European Berlinetta style coupés (2+2 seaters generally) but they all seem like I couldn't really afford them.

Good thing the Ford Motor Corporation stole it from the wizard Robert Kearns.
