Quote from recent Top Gear "Just what message are you sending the world when
you climb out of a Calibra or a Probe or even a Celica, not good."

LOL. It was good enough for Carlos Sainz

But I agree with the Probe or the Calibra, before I bought the GT4, I
was dead set on a Prelude VTEC manual BB4, import in Black or Red.
Couldn't find one in decent nick with anything like any UK history since
it came over, and all the spec I wanted, so was looking at my other
lesser choices, either a 924 if I could convince the missus

Change the missus. The day she tells me what car I can or can't have is
the day I pack my bags.

I'm on my second GT4 - this one the Carlos Sainz Ltd Edition - and would
strongly recommend them. And yes you can pick up a good one for around £2k.
Take a look on the owners club site (www.gt4oc.com )as there are usually a
few for sale..

Of course you do mean a good 'std' GT4. Not a CS or RC model. :-)

Yeah, but didn't he also drive a Toyota Corolla?

I think his was a bit closer to the Fensport one, than your grannies though.

Look up the Fensport Corolla (the current one they use for TOTB etc).

Except the fiesta/121 thing. Why did mazda put the stupid great wodge of
plastic across the back?

You mean the drifters favourite, the AE86?

Not many of them about.

Nope, the 3S-GTE engined Corolla WRC

in the proper colours
and specs.

Even less of these about.

Same reason as I guess Saab and Toyota did (if you refer to the decor

panel that joins up the tail lights on both sides)
