I thought I'd share this:
Meet my daily driver, Honda Civic FK 5door hatchback.
Bought it in 2018, so far no complains. Very comfortable and roomy, well equipped inside (GPS, start-stop system, parking sensors front and back with camera, rain sensor, automatic headlights, traction control, cruise control, LCD screen, 2 USB ports, 1 HDMI port (!!!), tinted windows at the back, etc, etc...).
Yes, its a diesel... 1.6 i-Dtec with 120 hp and, allegedly, 300 Nm of torque. It does pull nicely for a diesel, though. I could have bought a petrol version, they even had a blue one in the showroom with 180 hp but it was A LOT more expensive than this so...
And now, something COMPLETELY different (also mine):
For those of you wondering, its an Isuzu KBD25 where "D" stands for diesel, so yeah its another diesel, an oldschool 2.0 with no more than 50 hp lol
This used to be my grandfather's truck, bought brand new in 1981.
I always liked it... but he doesn't drive it anymore, he's 92 now... and two years ago the opportunity to buy it suddenly came up, but I kept hearing other people (from outside of the family) showing interest in buying the truck.
I thought to myself: NO WAY, THIS TRUCK IS NOT LEAVING THE FAMILY! So I went in and made an offer, and I'm the proud owner ever since, but currently this is my dad's work horse, he drives it almost daily when its not raining.
Of course, it wasn't looking this good when I bought it, oh no... it really needed some work, mostly bodywork because rust was starting to appear here and there, and a lot of the body panels where bent.
But, you know how this goes... once you start tinkering with it, it never ends...
So, a few months later the rust was gone, the panels where back in shape, it received a fresh coat of that gorgeous green (which is the original color of the car) and me and my dad even added some improvements like disk brakes, power steering, a radio, those 14 inch Mangels chromed wheels (which were a NIGHTMARE to get) and even a home-made center console complete with a clock from an old Ford, RPM counter and a voltmeter!
And I also have plans to remove that wooden stake bed for the original metal bed, I already bought one and its currently being restored.
I'll just let the pictures do the talking...

Upgraded to a Yaris Cross HEV GR Sport. More power, comfort and tech. A bit less sporty handling, although it has the suspension tuning, but no sports tires.
Same wheel rims design like on the GT86, but 18-inch.
Has a HUD. The instrument screen is customizable. You can select styles and types. The white single circle looks kinda like Lexus LFA. xD

Sold my white Porsche 914 a few weeks ago and got this thing instead as part of a trade. Those interested about this Car With A Star can head over to my car thread Korvregn’s Kollection for more info 😊

I ended up selling my Karmann Ghia a couple months ago. Desperate to find another air cooled Volkswagen to replace my Ghia in my current budget my heart was set on a ‘50s era Oval Window Beetle. I’ve actually been trying to find the perfect Beetle for years now. Well, upon my relentless searching, saving and praying I found another VW. After talking to the owner for about two months I picked it up. Accept it’s not a Beetle (again) and I never thought in my wildest dreams I’d ever come close to driving let alone owning one of these outside of Gran Turismo. It’s been a couple days. It still feels surreal. I don’t think I’ll ever sell it. Years of dreaming are now a reality. I can proudly say I now own a 1963 VW Type 2 Microbus.
No I didn’t win it from completing the GT5 Top Gear challenge.

Here is my 1999 Z3 Coupé. 2.8 6 Cylinder 200 HP. Love it. It's a love it or hate it design.
Upgraded the CD changer for a small Pioneer Active Subwoofer and upgraded the Business radio with a new 1 din Airplay device and new speakers everywhere. Audio/Navi system sounds and performs on-point now. Nice modern digital quality and UI.
Small touchscreen and analog dails! Love it! Exterior is original except for the style 32rims. On mine they are now 18" OEM Style 32 rims (from a 328 coupé of that era). Z3 Coupé's originally were delivered with 17" Style 32 rims. 18" Stlye 32 makes the Z3 Coupé just that little more bold and balanced while still remaining it's original design. Hope you like it..

PERFECT! I fell in love with the Z3 Coupe that moment I first saw it on the cover of auto motor und sport back in the day. I'm looking at Cars & Bis and BaT and itching to bid for one - but we're not there yet, I have to wait a few years... I wish I had some money back in the mid 2000's when we lived in Germany, they were cheap, just like the 964s...
