  1. Glad to hear you noticed the format :p I see it says I on the left (for Italy/Italia), I know some British cars say GB next to it but there's a lot of cars here that don't have the blue part on the side... not sure why! I can determine a British car's manufacture date (year) if it's a 2000 or after car, but the pre-2000 cars have a prefix/suffix system depending on the year, and it gets quite confusing so I haven't learned it. It's quite interesting, though!

    On another note, I now have my provisional license. Time to get learning for my tests! :rolleyes:

  2. Saw a black Skoda Fabia the other day, with purple wheels... not sure how to feel about purple wheels on a black car, guess it could be a lot worse! :p

  4. The dodge d100! I plan on owning one some day. They're sleek and stylish, yet reliable.
  5. Prepare for that truck to eat your wallet :p

  6. Yea I know xD probably only gets under 10 miles a gallon xD
  7. Certainly going to take up a lot of fuel but it looks great :D If it's what you plan on owning then I wish you the best of luck there, go get what you want! :)
    It looks almost the same as this Fabia here :p

  8. RIP Henri Toivonen, Sergio Cresta and Group B rallying. 30 years ago today, a crash at Tour de Corse ended two lives and one of the best rally championship groups known to man. Let's remember them, and celebrate just how they'd like - with Group B rally cars!

  9. Yesterday, I drove a car for the first time. Trying to learn clutch control, and I have stalled a fair share of times :p It's not easy but I'm learning and that's what matters. I hope to get much better at it! Once you get going, it's quite fun :D

    Maybe learning clutch control in a Ford Focus ST with sheep in a field is quite different to what you'd expect, but it is interesting! :)

  10. Not my first time driving fast, just the fastest I've driven.

    NASCAR fan or not, the first time you haul off into a corner at those speeds you respect the sport.

  11. That must be an awesome experience! I like the sport but I don't find it as enjoyable to watch as other events such as rallying, but actually driving... driving it must have been pretty intense! It sounds scary but a great experience, too. I hope that you enjoyed :)

    On another note, I spent some more time driving the Ford Focus ST today and I'm slowly getting the hang of things... slowly but surely! :D

  20. Someone put their own spin on the famous Audi quattro jump image and I'm not sure how to feel about it :p
