My new project,

[lozz]

I love how we've gone from Lozz's £300 Celica to suggesting that he spends at least twice as much on a replacement.

Lozz - I've got a better suggestion than my Hyundai Coupe one -

My son is moaning for the car now so imight let him have it and il have have to grab sumat else,
im not allowed nothing these days,

Keep the Celica & tell him to go buy his own damn car...

Lol,

yup imight just tell him to buy his own car,
but id still be paying for it

imight just get him a little Hyundai accent,

[highlander]

Get him a bright pink Nissan Micra; he'll never ask you to buy him another car again

[FarmerPug]

a pink micra cc

[lozz]

Ha.
He wouid probably never speak to me again,

[FarmerPug]

will you ever own a 406 again?

[lozz]

will you ever own a 406 again?

Hell Yeah,
Tbh tho iwill never buy another saloon tho, not a keeper anyway,
still waiting on the 406 breaker idid a deal with - to be Sorted, theres a Dispute between owner & insurer at present,
once thats sorted and the car is here, il pick up an Estate with a knakerd engine,

iwill be keeping the celica tho its fun to drive iwill most probs just keep it as a Week-end car,

[FarmerPug]

ah right, the se you still would break it if you got it?

[ToddM]

Quite fond of that Celica there, Lozz! Definitely not a fan of the exterior - it's too bland, but I love how simple and driver-oriented it is on the inside. Is it good to drive?

[lozz]

Ha.
Not a fan of the Exterior of the celicas?
why?
theyre pretty cool kitted up and from a mile away if you sort of squint theres a bit of old porshe styling,
idont like the interior, the seats will be going in the skip very shortly,

There not a bad motor but after having all the models apart from phase 7 idont think this one feels like a celica,
its more like a Mazda 323 drive wise,

[FarmerPug]

what sort of mpg would you get out of the celica.
i think the 406 still is the more aestetically pleasing car.

[lozz]

average around 29 - 32mpg, no way as cheap to run as the Hdi,
but, there is a Differnce, the 406 is like abowl of jelly compared to one of these,
the celica is a Stiff car, they hold the Road well, the 4o6 (Saloon) is too Twitchy for my liking hence me not having another one,
estate hopefully will be better .

[STALLED]

A Celica of that era isn't the sharpest bit of kit to punt down a twisty back road. I'd go a MX5 hands down!

A stack of my friends have MX5's (which I have all driven) and they never cease to put a smile on my face. Even a base 1.6 with no PAS is a real joy to drive - i'd say up there with the likes of a 205 GTI. Given that they are Japanese, they won't break and the BP series engines are bulletproof - or when they do let go, they can be bought for a total song!

One of them looks identical to this one (same wheels)...

[FarmerPug]

i really do want one, in dark green (so it looks a bit more manly), they are just such great fun, although they do sit in group 13 for insurance.

[lozz]

Just took out the centre console in the Celica,
Found a Hair brush, £2.50 in change, oh and some paperwork from a church in london, and some sort of Id card,
seems the owner was a Vicar ,

these Jap cars Hoard some crap lol,
Been looking for another one, Mot failiure eg, but there going for silly money,
none in the Breakers yards either just hoping it stays reliable,

[lozz]

iwas wrong on the Engine too, its not a vvti,
dont know what these where in tbh,
