When Honda join, it will be 4 suppliers. Renault are there at the moment, with the other names you mentioned.

RBR is toying with the idea ...

Would be interesting to hear a bit more about the car, AFAIK the car is a Factory TTE built rally car from Europe.

Very cool!

To prove its place as the ultimate turn-key race car it will have it's own official one-make race series starting later in 2013.

Ha, he seemed quiet big to me when he stood next to us at the Top Gear show, he is 193cm and has a MASSIVE stomach, like 8 months pregnant stomach, rest of him is lanky though.

^ Curious about reasons for those 3 cars?
My list is similar but no doubt for different reasons

Its more that I ...

Spotted two today, a red one and a blue one, first one I have seen in blue and it was quite nice.. funny both were coming of the northbound at East Tamaiki Papatoetoe. I want one. But as it goes into my "cars I love but wont own" basket nestled right next to the Series 6 RX7 and S15 200SX.

So Toyota has announced they'll be doing a drop top version.
Being interesting to see how it goes against the likes of the s2000, mx5 and the likes.

I'm guessing it will out sell the S2000 easily

Have only seen one out on the roads so far, guessing they are still in limited numbers??

As a general rule of thumb I just convert them to mph, anything greater than 55 and I just leave the cruse control on 106kph.

i love it when i gas up to 130 and still don't gain on the car, but have to slow down to 80 once past the passing lane. Makes me full of joy.

I love it when the ...

Nope. Its just an observation, not factual at all, I have just noticed that most people drive at less that 100 kph in 100 zones be it open road or motorway and go very slow around corners, you can drive all the way from Taupo or the Coromadel back to Auckland and guarantee the only time the traffic ...

Ha, I did see your car at the beginning of the day.

We had a good time, was a nice drive, I think we got 90% of the challenges done, missed a letterbox and milking number and could not find a fire engine.

Ended up the first car in Whitianga and got back to the finish a good 45min earlier than ...

E30's seem to be quite expensive if you want a decent model, seems we got a better line up of BMW's than Australia.

Have noticed that they have great finance/Finance Lease deals on cars, I know some dealers are offering 0% finance on some models..

From the looks of things on Ausi forums I think the scene is vastly different.

Looks like most buy decent modern cars cars, new or near new and leave them relatively stock.

The trackday's and drive days look like they are quite expensive compared to here.

The cops look like they are a lot ...

Personally I would like to see drivers have to go and do a WOF every so often, maybe every three years, it’s the not the cars that scare me it’s the people driving them.

I would also like to see a registration that is based on kilometers traveled, so if you only do small millage (two of my three ...
