brillomaster Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 the most important thing is passion... it doesn't matter if its sports, or music, or films, or cars... as long as someone is passionate about something that's the most important thing. I think a lot of people have no passion, if you asked them what they like they'd be all 'oh, I don't know really, I just sort of bumble along' which is a bit sad really... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes thats the point, people at work mock me for loving old jap cars, but on the flip side have openly admitted they are jealous that I have a passion that I am devoted to.

brillomaster Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 some I agree with, some I don't... reasons I love cars (in no particular order) 1. national speed limit signs - or 'fun starts here' signs. normally accompanied by dropping a few cogs and flooring it. 2. overtaking. not the boring kind on the motorway, but when you come across an old biddy doing 40mph on a NSL road, and the sheer joy and anticipation that comes from the road opening up into a straight, dropping a few cogs and flooring it. 3. traction. or lack thereof. trying to pull out of a t junction quickly in cold conditions, and the TCS kicking in cos you've got just too much power to be contained by your 265 section rear tyres. 4. slow reveal cupholders. the type you push in, then they slowly unfold. man was I pi**ed when my mate broke one of mine. 5. cylinders arranged in multiples of 5 or 6. just sound better than a multiple of 4. oh and a decent exhaust to fully appreciate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 1) The freedom to go wherever i want whenever i want, this was the single biggest life changer when i passed my test imho, no asking for lifts from the family, no relying on mates, just find enough money for fuel and off you went and more often than note, just for the sake of it 2) Variety & choice, the debates on here with "what do i get with "£x" budget" are brilliant, there are no rights and wrongs, just personal choice for whatever boxes need ticking, be a f****g boring world if we all aspired to own the same car 3) Speed, obviously 4) Personalisation, its a great feeling being able to sit back and think, not one "whatever car" out there looks the same. 5) People, i have met some really decent folk from here, obviously you cant get on with everyone just because they own the same car, but the ones i have met have been legends, i have even met some nice people through random chats out and about.

Deano94 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Agree with most of them but here's some of my favourites 1.Driving/meets with mates and other petrol heads 2. Acceleration, if it doesn't chuck me back in my seat. Then I don't want it. 3. Downshifting (especially in tunnels) 4. When parts arrive!!

Grundy Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Been a bit slack with the recent lack of articles, my bad for being a bit busy But anyway, I enjoyed Japday a lot more than most shows I've attended, so thought they deserved an honest review. http://www.teamtarmac.com/japday-2016-review/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
