Show Us Your Motors!

Here's a strange one. I took this px when I sold my range rover last year and knocked a bit off the price. Something made me think it was cool (probably from seeing loads of them with surf board strapped to the top in NZ), and I watched the Doug DeMuro and Hoovies garage video about how bizarre they are. They are turbo, mid engined, RWD, minivans.

Anyway, I left it sat in my yard forgot it existed and let the MOT expire. I put it up for sale this morning for a few hundred quid spares or repairs and got inundated with enquiry. I had no idea such a thing would be so appealing, and had a few people advise me that even not running they can fetch a fair bit more especially being an imported car.

I took it down for now to reconsider what to do with it as I was getting messaged every few minutes. I guess 90s japanese stuff is getting more desirable even if it is something you would see your friends mum drive to school in .

Another weekend and another hoon around Wales.











The morning started of cold and wet, 4-7c which was a real test for the Michelin Cup 2's, in short they are rather hopeless in such conditions, inputs need to be super smooth and gentle, treat any input like and on/off switch and the car is sliding, thankfully in something so lightweight (1100kg) it is easy to gather it up when it does let go, also the fact the car has amazing feedback you always aware of the low grip and when your about to loose grip, the car is also quite fun beyond grip, but in such conditions the Cup 2's are just a hindrance, there was three of us on Cup 2's with the rest on PS4's who did have a lot more grip, still kept up with them no problem though.

By midday the roads had dried out and the Cup 2's were like gravy to a blanket, big transformation, the big brakes on the car are a transformation, much smoother and more powerful.

Upto nearly 8000 miles in the Alpine now, had an amazing 6000 miles in the car so far and the attention they get from the public is pretty awesome, they are an incredibly rare sight so when you see 12 at once.

Saturday was also the Oulton Park Autos de France meet, so all things French, I made a quick video:

That looks like a car my mum had in the 80s
Toyota space cruiser

These are very underrated. The wife recently shortlisted either an AUDI SQ2 or a Cupra Formentor with the same engine. She chose the Cupra because it was better equipped and a bit bigger.

Park and Ride at Bicester mate meet ahead of a coffee and cars event down the road a few weeks back.

Being an odd one out at the Ring with E92 M3's (there were more of them) in various forms of tune and track preparedness.

And at Silverstone with Hype after I rented one of their M2's (and broke it) for the day so couple of work colleagues could have a proper go!

Yes, I came from an S3 but the other half wanted something slightly bigger, they're a vertically stretched S3 and very capable

Nice. Always fancied one of those are a family wagon but the Mrs refuses to drive anything automagic.

It’s a really good car. As a car.. but a bit boring to drive and not great to look at. Not offensive but just a bit meh. Interior is nicer design wise in my opinion.

The cvt box is interesting, I’ve had other cars with cvt and those were quite loud and took some getting used to but this is very much just effortless cruiser and the box never gets in the way unless you’re hammering it which just feels wrong from drivers pov.

They're insanely popular with the Jewish communities. I drove through Prestwich at school kicking out time a couple weeks ago and saw what must have over a hundred of these and Estimas. There doesn't seem to be many of this generation for sale either.

It's not looking quite so clean now but this is my 2022 A45S+ that I picked up earlier in the year.

Wish I'd kept mine, drank like a fish, got through tyres like there was no tomorrow and always felt like it wanted to kill me if you put your foot down, but it was an awesome car.

Same experience here, goes through everything very quickly. It's my weekend/evening car so it's not so bad. Wouldn't imagine using it as a daily!

I'm envious. I drove one around Mercedes-Benz Brooklands' circuit a few months ago, and it's an incredible piece of kit. The way it just grips and grips endlessly around corners is mind-boggling.

They told me at Brooklands that they replace the brake pads every few days, lol. The tyres only last a week.

I think VW have really nailed the styling of these, appealing.
