I'm too. Tsukuba, such a small circuit. There will be tons of action

Toyota for something completely different! So I just want to tell you a little story about myself! How my car interests have become. 1987 I would think that that was when I first looked at Maimi Vice then it was Don and Ferarri that was the coolest thing there was. My brother who was four years older than me he had fixed some VHS tapes with Burt who went with his Pontiac Trans Am! So how do you do when you've grown up with these movies on TV? Well my dad came across an Opel Record 2.2i it had 112 hp and was rear wheel drive! I had probably my most enjoyable winter in my life the year 1998! The year after I bought me a volvo 850 turbo that had 225hp and after a few weeks it was tuned to at least 300hp. Think this was my absolute coolest car I had and funniest. This five-cylinder engine with turbocharging that just sounded so wonderful! I sold this car, however, after a few years also bought a mazda 626 sport 2 door! I Also had a Volvo 360 and a saab v4(-75). Then I got hold a Volvo S60 T5 I I let a company called Bsr to tune to 321hp. This va a fantastic car I had some country road race with the BMW M5 (E39) as well and won. So then i want to Link to this video so you'll be hearing a genuine five-cylinder sound !

Very good write up @qken 👍

The Volvo does sound nice. And wheel spin while moving.

a mazda 626 sport 2 door!

I had one of those! They were quite rare. You're the first person I know to have also owned one. I also had a Mazda 323f sport - the one with the 2 litre V6. Both nice cars.

Just counted and I'm on my 14th car now! Quite a varied selection over the years. From Capri 2.8's to a Renault 5 Turbo. Never been over 200bhp though. My current 2.4 VTEC Accord is the nearest at 194.

Maybe it was just the two of us who had this mazda 626 sport 2 door in europe !

I should probably add that I am now more a bmw friend. Currently driving a 530ia Touring E39 . Sold my 540i e34 for a year since I had to have a little bigger car ( family car )

Could be.
It was red and looked much like this.


Since this is a Toyota thread, I should add that I've never had one. Mazda, Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi yes. Toyota no!
I nearly bought a MR2 once, if that counts.

Mine was also red indeed. Had Mazda RX7 original rims on my car.

 

[JockeP22]

but my daughter is highest prio

Of course Mr. Patrick.

I'm in for the next one.
Nr 8

You won't be able to change the number on the car this week, Mathieu.

There will be tons of action

Agreed. A short track with a quick car. We need to be mindful of one another
and give each other some space.

I just want to tell you a little story about myself!

Häftigt Markus!

I also had a Mazda

Mazda, Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi yes. Toyota no!

First car I ever 'drove' was my dads white Volvo Amazon;

Dad worked the pedals while I sat in his lap and took care of the steering (I was ~ five years old).


First car I drove on my own was when I borrowed granddad's wine red Volvo 245 with an automatic transmission;

My first purchased car was a 1988 BMW 320 which I acquired within two weeks of getting my drivers license;

Since that BMW though I have only driven and ridden Japanese vehicles. Yamaha x2 and Nissan x2;

I will try to make my next purchase Japanese as well. Shame to break a tradition.


Oh yes, while my grandmother still had a car I got to drive it on a few occasions. It was a little embarrassing
being seen in it though. Truly an awful creation in both design and quality.
It was built as a tank though and never broke down;

My granny couldn't work the clutch very well though.
You always knew when she was about to go somewhere. If you heard a car revving up to 4,500 rpm's
backing out of a driveway, ten out of ten times it was her. That poor Lada engine..

Ah, the smell of a burning clutch plate.
Perhaps she should have had the automatic Volvo!

Want to buy a 2004 Honda Accord? One careful owner (The rest were idiots).

Paul, sorry but I can't see a mixed Rubik's Cube, so I've to solve it at once...

 

[IfAndOr]

I was never very good at the Rubik's cube. My attempts usually went like this...

You can disassemble a Rubik's cube without a hammer! Then put it together in any order you like.

I know the Rubik's Cube since the early '80. My best time ever for solving it was 45 secs...

No need. I have the answer...

 

[o_OPaTricKO_o]

Can you do Tsukuba in 45 secs?

Not yet my friend, not yet...

So, I'm done for now...

Wish you all a good night!...

@o_OPaTricKO_o on a Rubik's Cube.

I couldn't keep up with you that evening! 👍

 

[JockeP22]

I couldn't keep up with you that evening! 👍

But I had big problems being consistent. One quick lap followed by a visit to the gravel traps.
Seeing you in my mirrors didn't help either.

I'm quick when alone, I'm close to rubbish when being chased.

 

[bloodyboyblue]

I know I was the 52s when I did a few laps by myself, I think 52.3 was my best.
