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.

True, I joined in 2017 while looking for buy my first car and still come here at least once every week. Just to see if any interesting topic has started or if there's anything I can drop my little knowledge to help someone. I think this forum would have reached sky if there was no vehicle import ban as well. There could have been so many interesting threads to read. Anyways, let's hope we will be able to see new cars in SL and also to see related topics being discussed here in AL.

5 mil. Hatchback. Fun. Manual is preferred. Not too low. Something newer. Fuel is not considered. Resale can kiss sirs arse. Open to euros not just jdm. Choose your weapon.

@matroska dont you think it looks very similar to a Alto Works? (if its the same car I have seen, its may have a Mira registration plate on an Alto Works - meaning gediya)
-
@Gummybr I tried but can't now find the Mira post on FB so I'm just posting pics of the internet here. thing is the Mira that was for sale had a bumper that was similar to what you get on the Alto Works. But the rest of the car looked like a mira.
for instance the body lines were similar to this

Ownership thread on the 508… Yay or nay?
come to think of it AL has NOTHING about 508’s. What you guys think?

When manufacturers state a fuel tank’s capacity, is it up-to the auto cut-off valve or right to the brim?

@Hyaenidae makes sense. Some day in a non kaputa lanka, gonna check that after a drain.

(Sorry I just saw this) Yes...it is up to the auto cut off point AND at a tempreture between 25-30 degrees celsius (at least in Japan). Now there will be a variation of a litre or so because of fuel density changes with tempreture and pressure differences.
So if you account for filling up right to the top of the neck then you are looking at quite a few litres (depending on the car of course).
DO NOT ! DO NOT ! Fill beyond the auto cut-off point. If you fill it beyond the cut-off point then your fuel may seap in to the EVAC system lines. Over time the fuel moisture within the EVAC lines can cause the charcoal canister (especially if your car model has the canister closer to the tank) and some other components get spoilt.

@PerfMad got it fully washed and took it to colombo for few days. Mostly gone now. I think it’s my location mostly.
