Yep, the Toyota is definitely better looking.
WEIRD!

That concept GT86 looks well, the actual Ferrari looks like a stretched Peugeot 407 on the otherhand.

I think a lot of people might vote for the FF just because it's a Ferrari, honestly I've never thought the FF looked great.
I like the idea but the proportions are off for me.

The blinkered look of the headlights.... The front grill and the look of being lost into the abyss beyond it. The high lines rising to the back arches. She is well rounded good looking girl whereas the GT whilst an impressive car has a front spoiler reminiscent of that of a current Avensis....

I aint messing, look at it !

CianRyan

I don't know, to me the FF looks very forced, they needed to make a Shooting Brake so they did, but only from a few ideas they had lying around. The back end is lanky and awkward looking, the front end looks like a deformed fish.

Ferrari make some beautiful cars but the FF is not one of them.

Can't see the bottom of that Avensis so I can compare. :pac:

I like the FF, it stands out from the rest. Prancing horse is just the icing on the cake. It's the kind of car I can happily park at the clay shooting grounds and whip out the duelling pistols to shoot with, because I'd be capable of anything wit a car like that :pac:

Then again, I'm a weird c*nt with a strange taste in cars.... :P

You can thank the Government for that one though, it's around €12k cheaper everywhere else.

Done 800km in the 156 since Sunday and all is well, popped another litre of oil into it yesterday though. I think it needs it every 1000 miles or so. However noticed a funny burning smell from the engine bay yesterday, being very worried, I got out to take a look but couldn't see anything wrong. Brought it down to the local Mechanic in Cahersiveen who took a look at it and found, that because the roads are in bits down here, the exhaust had a few pieces of mud on it, which the exhaust was burning as I drove along. Gave the engine bay a good clean and all is well again.

The mechanic took the car for a drive after he checked it and while he said it was a lovely car (honest he did ) he did again highlight the suspension issue to me, it would appear it needs to be resolved and as such I am going to try sort it when back in Dublin.

Car is really running well though for a car that has had 10k km put on it since the end of September.

You know you want it. It's an amazing set, but buy it from amazon.fr it's 76eu with free super saver delivery. I would like to get one more set just for parts alone. I would if I would not get shafted again at work. I was down to 4 days and now they decided to put me down to 3. Happy days...

Okay, I failed to think of something funny to type..:D

So, I say you should call the gards, they will take care of it/the horses.

"F*ck your Subaru, theres a horse outside" :pac:


eh feck it, make a video of you trying to push them out or something.

It passed the funny lane for me. One of those horses is huge. If it will lean on any of my cars the body work will be destroyed.

If if is travellers horses I wonder what will happen, won't they be all over my place because I called Garda on their fecking horses.

Do they seem be around? Like I'm just thinking, how did the horses get there in the fist place?

Is there a cat it your scoobie?
If not make a few flames, the banging will have them gone.

Edit: My dad walked by the computer and just goes, "He died." Walks off like he says nothing, queue a bit of "what?" going back and forward and it turns out he was talking about Colin McRae.

I blame you for this confusion, BW. Haha

All he has to do is roar and shout at them in his Lithucorkian accent, they will think they've been transported to the other side of the world and will therefore fvck right off!

A protective horse barrier spoiler might be what's needed for the scoobie?

On a serious note, call the guards, those horses are roaming loose and could be a serious danger in the dark and in the morning when traffic starts up.

Was coming home half an hour ago from Ballymun. Stopped at the lights on the roundabout then got green, just as I was about to cross the bridge to get on the M50 some complete tosser flew past, coming up the M50 slip completely ignoring two sets of red lights. Nearly had a heart attack few seconds more and it would have been a lovely smack. Dunno what he was doing, he flew up from the slip, through two sets of lights, then stopped at the next set which were green
