  1. This one guy on the forum pushed me away from reliable Audi's, to extremely terrifying Peugeot's. Now the man is trying to buy a March k11 and retire from the scene. And the scumbag is offering a 406 executive before he leaves. Must be an NGO fella, trying to ruin a hela yakka-putha in Kadugannawa who just wants to drive a reliable car for once. You shall not have yo way mister. * inbox price please*

  4. Ferentino update: Shape tire (for 25k a tire I aint complaining) but seems to lack grip for any spirited driving. Anything beyond a 75* turn at full throttle and the tires start squealing (dript noize) but thats also probably because of the lack of LSD. Unsure. I dont remember having this issue on 8 year old Continental ContiComforts

  8. So, now some say personal vehicle imports will commence next year, and prices of existing vehicles will drop? This poses an interesting argument in my head, I'm not in finance, nor banking, nor a car sale guy, Just a petrolhead from a Healthcare related background. So to elaborate, Hypothetically say imports were allowed, empirically the USD will shoot further-it will be a catastrophic claim where the poor would say, the rich took our USD to bring cars and now we gotta pay 2000 bucks to buy milk? Thus the price of these New vehicles will be unfathomable for the average joe as after all its paid for in such USD? maybe the first few imports may cost less due to the rate. Secondly, now as far as I know, there is no guarantee that the govt. will follow the same taxing system as before the imports were restricted, after all they too have to make a buck, and they too have control the seepage of USD. Could it be just a futile attempt of allowing imports for IMF sake and can they just bottleneck the whole thing with a heap of taxes? Thirdly there maybe a possibility where they allow vehicles more than 10y old to be reeled in as well, technically "new" yet old models may find themselves here, how will the market welcome these? Lastly I have noticed a heap of good well taken care of cars paraded on marketplace and various websites, thus I guess its either people wanting to shed off luxuries to save their money or people are hoarding cash for a new car. Feel free to share your opinions, the more the merrier!, and please correct me if I am wrong I chose the forum here as the crew would be rather mature than get abused on rapid rev.

  9. I occasionally browse social media of AL members (that I can find of course) Mostly the member active from 2006 ish to around 2014. I am proud to say almost all of them are much wealthier now than when they joined many years ago. Most of them drive some real cool machines.Some are even on the “car spotters” pages (which seems to be the achievement target for young guys) I’m very sure the passion and excitement plus the wealth of knowledge gained from Autolanka helped them to have the awesome taste in cars they do. In a sea of new money people and their flashy show off cars. The Autolanka crowd still stands taller. Not many young people know about AL, even the old members seem to have forgotten/passed that era. But the cars they drive and the class they show is unmatched in the car scene. Thank you @MADZ for starting AL and even more so for maintaining it all these years. I saw that you are in Sri Lanka no more, understandably. But I’m glad you still make the effort to keep it going. The country keeps going backwards. But at least the Autolanka members are doing well and keeping that AL spirit. Cheers.

  16. At a point where I might have to do away with project cars/beaters/shitboxes and move onto a less-dramatic reliable second car on a budget - what does the A/L community suggest?

  17. Guys so recently I took a sample of the SD in my tank and it looks dark yelloish. Smells a bit like kerosene mix too. Is there any good shed that I can rely on for quality SD? All this time i've been going to one ceypetco shed to refill.
