When you run out of face masks and DIY is life. The successor to the N95 mask... The K&N95! ?

Writing is not really my profession, Just a very,very fulfilling side hustle. Owner of the Batmobile is a good friend. We are both second generation car collectors as our dads were among the first to start collecting cars as a hobby in SL back in the day. So that,and the fact I also have a collection myself, with experience in ownership and restoration helps other owners be at ease when handing me the keys I guess. Just to be clear I didn't "thrash" the car. Just drove it fairly hard,at a decent pace that I was certain to not have any adverse effect on the mechanicals. I know how to show respect to the machine and have fun at the same time, especially when in a classic. I think that's what separates me from most other auto journos. Trust me, I was well aware that it was a super rare and worth 400,000$. Edit - Found a pic . Mods pls remove if it violates forum rules regarding other publications.

Thank you helpful Autolanka VW forumists. Now I know what I needed to know! Yassus

2017 I was involved in organizing the Motor Show, but the placards were done by @esdeezand @Supra_Natural . No offence taken at all. Mods-sorry for OT. Please move to post whoring if necessary.

Hey @MasterDon I trust you didn't take any offence as you would have said something to that effect in your post above; but just to clear the air and make sure no one misinterprets what I said above: I didn't mean to imply that you were irresponsible or that you mistreated the car in anyway... My thoughts were simlply: Wow! What a rare car Whoa! The owner must be insanely chill to lend people his car like that, or wealthy enough not to care: Either way cool scene. Crap! And here, I don't even let my Dad drive my car- I'm such a stingy bastard... That's it.

I took some photos of it at Ceylon Motor Show in 2017 Most probably this placard was also designed by you @ MasterDon

Corolla 141 will be the best suitable car for your usage pattern. (Hope "second car" means selling first car and buying another one)

I drive a Great all Wingle... My dream car is a Mitsubishi Mini Active Urban Sandal. These are pretty rare....so I will settle for a Lettuce... Have you done a front-rear offset lift conversion ? I think that is the bomb on a X5

Depending on your usage pattern - weekend driver/long distance trips there's no point in getting a used hybrid and running the risk of hybrid related maintenance headaches. Overall the obvious choice would be a Corolla 141 - it's a simple car easy to maintain and will be more comfy than the Yaris on long drives/Outstation trips.

I said "turn", not lift twist and jerk ?

No airbags, we die like real men NO EPS, I turn the steering wheel like a real man ????

Thanks for advice. Today i purchased the Sikkens epoxy primer.

I have to ask, where do you get all this information that you spout so authoritatively? "Honda is not having a good rep regarding engines in resant times" you say, care to provide some sources? Pretty much every engine Honda has made in the last decade or more has been perfectly fine in terms of durability based on any source I can find, maybe you've found different info? The 3 pot is actually quite smooth in use and if you didn't actually know what it was you'd not be able to tell it was different from an average 4 cyl. Honda like most Japanese makers does not adapt a technology until they are quite sure they can make it work reliably, unlike the euros (and especially the VW group). Between the two, I would still bet that the CIvic will be a better long term prospect than any VAG 1.0l turbo.

There was a 2020 C-HR with a manual gearbox (not a GS ) at $terling aftercare brought for conversion to automatic. What a waste
