RedRobin's car damaged....

[RedRobin]

Yaris?

....YES!!!! It's a brand spanking new Yaris!

Shall I get my own back on him and return it modded?



Mind you, as he knows me well, perhaps it's what he hoped I would do!

1.0 Litre of raw jap power (0-62 in 15.7  seconds ), aren't you lucky RR

....0-62 feels more like 5.7 minutes! Are you sure it's not a misprint!? The Fiat Panda I once had, used to feel faster.

Well, it was either a free Yaris or wait forever to catch a bus. At least I now have the dubious experience of having driven one. I wouldn't want to try to overtake anything in it though

My GTI will feel like a Ferrari after this.

....I don't know how big small the engine is but the acceleration is totally non-existent!! The gearbox is delightfully smooth but the steering frighteningly remote and unsteady and it feels like the car is floating and not in contact with the road!!

No wonder Jo Public doesn't much like driving!

Does it wobble when you touch it - cause it looks like it has just been upturned from a jelly mould!

.... Absolutely perfect description and also describes what it feels like to drive!

Btw, when the steering wheel is straight (which is most of the time usually), the horizontal 'spokes' completely hide the graphics showing all the controls on the stalks!

I hate the strip rev counter (why would you need one in such a car anyway!?) but love the large digital numeric speed display.

final guess, Smart crossblade: -

Amazing car that one there.... Been in one and they are evil.

Funnily enough this car is a huge seller and even comes in a 1.8  litre.
We also get the Yaris "RF" which is a Yaris that was specially run. There were only a hundred or so and its all about sound. Sound in the form of an uprated sound system from the factory and a different bodykit. Lets put it this way. The sound system in that yaris puts most cars to shame....  :embarassed:

When you getting the car sorted out robin?

I new you would be sniffing round Micsta once you saw that pic.

TC....

I have been writing final exams so posting on the forum has been disruptive lately.

I have been looking at alternatives... 
But I will make a post in Chat nonsense. To be honest I cant even get a crappy yaris like Red's one for the price I can get a 2004 model full spec Smart car... And the car is very positive....

you should give your exam's full attention, in the long run it will speed up the process of getting a garage like Tonyh. 
PS i thought this section was chat nonsense.

Top cat I run two businesses as it is and Im only 17 and all is well hence why I can spend 80 000 rand on my first car which is about 5000 pounds according to the exchange rate...

And my exams are going extremely well. Its a miracle....
