hehe.. how short are you - It's not that big!!! (You make it sound like those muscle cars with half the engine/intake coming out of the bonnet.. I don't think it's that bad unless you wanna stare at the 1-2 metres in front of the car on the street.. When I drive, I look more ahead of me :p


Skills? Just dump it at rev cut (not redline!) for a day..and flat shift at EVERY gearchange.

Any pics of your car?

I'm not short! It's just that sitting in the passenger seat it really infuriates me. I don't think I'd be quite as annoyed if I was driving.. but then my mate won't let me in the driver's seat :p

yeah, those skills. ;)

Pretty close. Can't really say I seen one around,probably considered as rare ... as Anti said, any pics ... ?

I like the 323 Astina SP (early 90's), puts out around 96kw I believe.

Yeh, not bad for a 1.8L n/a from 1990 (same engine used until 95). I have a feeling my pics are at night tho..

Haven't driven manual in over 6mths. Probably a bit rusty! And he's never seen me drive.

I've driven a 33 GTST :D through the city! that was funny. :)

That's pretty good for a camry ... good ol toyota reliability. I had a 1987 toyota corona before, and the thing only got up 140,000kms before it blew a cylinder :(

Haha - people like that, when they hop into a manual they stall it like, 3 times before they get it going. Trust me.

I stalled it once in my friend's old landcruiser - manual of course (don't think the real old ones come in auto anyway). Reason - forgot to take the handbrake off ... but it's like riding a bike, once you learn, you don't forget.
