I literally scowled 😆

I mean, valid? But if it makes him happy, who cares :p I remember seeing a slammed and stanced Type R (FK8) about a year after they came out, kinda made me sad

Hi @dng , I sent you a PM with some questions if you don't mind, but nbd if you're too busy to reply. Thanks!

I know you said "reliable", otherwise I would suggest you try a Mini Cooper JCW at some point, see if it gives you the experience you're looking for. I'm not a Mini guy at all, can't picture myself driving one, liking one, etc., but they're highly reviewed and a couple hundred pounds lighter. I...

It's really quite simple, someone just needs to make a 4-door Caterham or Elise 😝

Thank youuu!!

I wish I could get the raw data from that site vs the map-based version. Anyone connected with the guy that put it together?

Does the side bolster get worn down on these seats? I saw a Type R at CarMax that looked pretty rough. 24k miles in 2 years, and CarMax still wanted like $45k for it

This is one of those moments where I feel that a test drive is in order before making a decision. I found the manual in the M2 (G87) that I drove to be quite lackluster, and the clutch engagement made me feel like a terrible driver. An aftermarket shifter upgrade would be a must for me - I...

I just had a revelation, buy a used EK9!

What's the latest on the cars from the Lyra Leader?

Yeah, rear vents and USB, so silly that they delete these things when they're already producing them, on the top-tier trim, no less

I just had the thought of drivers moving them who can't drive stick, grinding gears before it officially hits the shores 🥴

This is honestly a relief for me. I didn't want to have to fork out the dough and buy a potentially marked-up '25 because it was the last year. Hoping I'm in better financial shape next year to buy a '26. I hate the idea of making payments on what ultimately will be an "optional" car purchase...
