OV9

I had the misfortune of seeing the video briefly. The total callousness of it astounds me... This country is like a small back yard, like a little village and that kinda hatred driven right through the middle of it, will I suspect, change the place forever. And that fucks me off so much - the cunts ...

As Beany has so aptly pointed out on his Facebook, switch off your auto play for videos before you go on social media. I only remember feeling this hollow sick to the gut emptiness twice before - during 9/11 and immediately after the Christchurch earthquakes after feeling them 900kms away while sat ...

Lovely pics...

You're in NZ?

This week's is making me lust for driving in Scotland again...

11yrs since I've been away but I miss driving those fucking roads.

Collected the 86 yesterday - recall work took 4 days. Had OEM plugs, oil filter (not included in recall costs, but oil is), 2017 throw-off bearing and a pilot bearing done. Cost was $300 which is about 150 quid. It's not blown up yet... Mechanic remarked while it was all apart and being touched all ...

See these things everywhere here and a mate has just suggested one as a bike carrying tool. But seeing as you've done the research already - do all the back seats come out and is the floor flat afterwards?

Yes.

Do I have the money or inclination? No...

For the cost that would take I'd sell it and buy the 911.

I'm largely going with the fact it seems like most Subaru engines are made of soft cheese,

My stash. The colourful stuff is the Mrs, mine is the rest. Posh(er) stuff is the newish Japanese stash.

How did you go with that getting through customs etc?

That doesn't sound good! Edit: just told my boss who has an first edition 86. He'd been advised by Toyota about some engine recall work when he booked it in for a service, but then they cancelled the recall work because they "weren't ready for it". He hadn't heard about the valve issues, ...

Having fun and games here with the 86's... If you've not heard Subaru issued recall notices on heaps of engines due to possible valve spring failure, and early 86's are affected. Toyota NZ issued the recalls, Subaru NZ didn't, leaving all BRZ owners, and those of grey import 86s wondering WTF. To ma...

Not so surprised here... In NZ, where every international flight is pretty bloody long (except Aus) most of the carriers have been moving to the long haul single level planes like the 787 (I think it's that one) - they're basically just much cheaper to run per flight. So I reckon a twin level plane ...

Excellent work! Pretty much exactly like every upgrade on mine has gone (and why I daren't entertain even thinking about looking at upgrade kits any time soon )

No kids, saving for a 911.

I'd been thinking of getting rid of my trail hardtail and swapping it for 2 bikes. A full-sus trail bike and a lighter, faster carbon XC bike. I kept looking about and decided that what i wanted was too expensive and it'd have to wait. I thought I'd managed to resist buying a 5010 to fulfil the tra...

Been eyeing this up...

40quid for a 4 issue subscription, 60 quid to post it!

Erm, nope.

Dealer I use for my servicing on the GT86 is the importer for all the TRD and modding parts in NZ. They're already 'suggesting' the 4pot versions is specifically as a cheap entry point for people doing modifying, no more.

It's all smooth you soft tart, what you moaning about?

I don't know if I've done one of these before, but I guess they're a combo of being both interesting to others and slightly self therapeutic to yourself so fuck it, late as it is... I saw in NY 2018 stood outside my girlfriend's apartment which she'd loaned me while going away for a month to Africa....
