Following on from my first polaroids, more attention wh*ring below:


Avenue Drivers Club, first thing


On the way to the seaside


At Woolacombe


Out of town shopping


At the end of a hard day

I liked the car enough to buy it, first impressions and honeymoon period was better than expected, and a month in it's getting better every day. Really pleased with it.

It's looking good and you've got better weather than when I attempted to take my 944 to Woolacombe a couple of days ago.

I had a brief test drive in one a while back and despite being constantly stuck in traffic the brief bit of open road I did find the car reminded me of my 944 in the way that it has a good chassis, good feel and not a huge amount of power. A car built just for the enjoyment of driving so it's right up my street. I just can't afford one, bah!

I'm glad your really enjoying it, glad to hear of a customer of the brand I work for enjoying the product!!

I wish I had as much seat time in the vehicle as yourself as a lucky owner is getting, I smile everytime I sit in one, even if its just taking a customer out.

Nice pics too! I may borrow one for my desktop if you dont mind?

Can you stop, please?

This car is absolutely stunning, and I am itching to get one! I will wait until there's some discounts on them though I think. It really is my ideal car.

Looks awesome LG! Whoring of this fine machine is allowed!

I really do like the look and spirit of the car, less power, more fuel economy, skinny tires and a focused drivers car.

I always loved my old Civic Type R in that respect.

Have you got one with the car, you and a toilet brush?

How are you enjoying driving it?
How does it compare to other cars you have owned (what were they?)

See my profile - chopped in 2007 350Z for this. Recently had TVR Griffith, E46 330 coupe and assorted bimmers and an Audi (hated that).
This thing is a very good drive, either for the daily grind and especially at the weekend. It needs a good ragging to get it going, but for me that's a good thing. I can't be arsed to thrash it every day on the way to work so my licence is safe(r) and I get to have fun if I make the effort. Win-win!

Finally saw one in this colour on the road last week. Look so much better than in the pictures, and they look awesome in the pics.

Have a look at some of the rims that Rarerims offer m'lord.

If your on the owners club, as such am I as a Toyota Sales Exec, Ben is on there, with some examples of how their range looks. Have a chat to him

Such a nice colour. I too would want to change the wheels though, they're a bit, erm, "Halfords"!
