My favorite GT86 review
 
I love this guy's Irish ascent and the gibberish coming out of his mouth about the GT86.

I love the reviews where it just shows people having a ball and loving it. That's the point of the car, not timing runs and paper stats.

MarkMash 02-02-2013 08:44 AM

great review - hadn't seen that one, cheers.

Shagaliscious 02-02-2013 09:02 AM

He looked so bummed out/depressed at the end. I think that says it all.

And dammit, why don't we get any of the cool options. Real CF mirrors would've been cool.

Rayme 02-02-2013 09:10 AM

Can you say beyond seduced?

Demandred7 02-02-2013 10:37 AM

Great post. Hadn't seen that one. The guy is just having a ball without breaking the speed limit. I think he loves the car - a little (please add sarcasm font). And you have to love the adjectives. I think his experience is similar to many of us. It's almost like watching yourself in the 3rd person with an Irish accent.

dawnst3ar 02-02-2013 10:52 AM

Agreed, this is possibly my favorite yet.

FRiSson 02-02-2013 11:30 AM

That's a great review -

Some of what he talks about - enjoying the car at legal speeds relates to my favorite review -
"It's Thinker Than You Fast It Is"

This guy is sooo funny. :burnrubber: :thanks:

cobrabyte 02-02-2013 12:28 PM

"I can feel it down in the pubic hairs in my trousers..."

You gotta love the Irish. :D

whaap 02-02-2013 12:58 PM

After watching this my wife finally understands why I consider my FR-S the wisest car purchase I ever made and I've made some good ones.
:burnrubber:

stealth_fighter 02-02-2013 02:05 PM

My favorite part was comparing this car to a wasp... It will kill you and your family, and your kids. Lol maybe not the best phrase but at least I'll have fun first.

kasapoglu 02-02-2013 02:32 PM

i am still waiting for his full review as he has mentioned "Full test coming in November but until then here's a mad look at the new Toyota GT86" also waiting for my own gt86. i ve 2 more months to get myself busy:)

b1pkkf26 02-02-2013 02:47 PM

Great post, love this guy. I get the exact same feeling everytime I take it out.

Gaiakai 02-02-2013 04:40 PM

Haven't seen this one before. How many times did the guy have a crisis in that video? :lol:

That joy and excitement... i know it.

kludger 02-03-2013 02:02 PM

Haha nice one!

Sent it to my wife so she can see I'm not the only one who acts like that when driving it, she's always cracking up when we're out for rides and I get all giddy after some nice cornering.

mangostick 02-03-2013 02:09 PM

"GETS THE GENTLEMEN VEGETABLE STUFF GOIN RIGHT THERE !"


bwwahahahahahaa!!! I need to get over to Ireland and see my cousins, I love the accent and the shit they say!

CircuitJerk 02-03-2013 03:39 PM

As I started to watch this video I was thinking to myself:
"If he broke into something like "We Are The Champions" (or any Queen song for that matter) I'm gonna shit myself"

Aaaand then @ 7:23.... LOLOLOLOL

mit_peid 02-04-2013 02:37 AM

The name of my FR-S will now be known as the White Wasp in honor of this Irish guy's great review.

ishiscray 02-04-2013 03:00 AM

Funniest review I've seen and, arguably, the best one as well.

M1schiev0us 02-04-2013 05:14 AM

This was golden. Thanks for the laugh :thumbup:

Jared0934 02-04-2013 01:25 PM

Ooo noo doot aboot it!

TennisHsu 02-04-2013 01:26 PM

Oh Bill Hader you crack me up!!

Dadhawk 02-04-2013 01:55 PM

Hah! The look on his face is the same look everyone at the 1st86 event had on their face after getting out of the car, with just a trip around the block.

In honor of this review I will be talking in an (attempted) Irish accent all the way home and cackling at every turn.

:happy0180:

AX_FRS 02-04-2013 01:55 PM

Haha, that was enjoyable, but not nearly as enjoyable as driving it looks to be.

brzninja 02-04-2013 02:00 PM

I took offense to his early remark about how Toyota took the BRZ and did everything "better", but then I watched the rest and now he is my favorite car reviewer only 2nd to Jeremy Clarkson.

Guff 02-04-2013 02:12 PM

This was really unusual. But hugely entertaining.


:clap:

Jeff86 02-04-2013 02:48 PM

LOVED this review... perfect

Dorb 02-04-2013 02:51 PM

Good old, old clip.

Rampage 02-04-2013 03:15 PM

It was great to see someone enjoy a drive in a car that much. Now I wonder if he will go out and spend the "40 grand" to buy one for himself. That would be the ultimate endorsement of the "best sports car you can buy...anywhere".

Foobar 02-04-2013 03:55 PM

This review reminds me of the Nino Karotta review that sold me on getting a BRZ. You really felt how much he appreciated the car in his video and regret when the run was over.

It's an oldie and been posted before, but for those of you who haven't seen it:

" Some cars are like bees, ya know? They're busy, they work hard, they might even be yellow and black! They work hard and they're all fitting from ting tah ting and ya know everything's good and its all interesting to watch but it doesn't do anything, it just makes honey and you're very happy with the honey. This cars a wasp! A wasp will mess up your day like nothing else, because it does nothing else! Apart try to kill you, and your family, and your kids, and then if you try to kill IT, it brings its friends....to kick your teeth in and sting you to death!....over and over again! Thats what this cars like...a wasp! "

Xdragonxb0i 02-04-2013 06:39 PM

Lmao his laugh at 2:50 make him sound like a lephracuan finding his lucky charms

WatchmaN 02-04-2013 07:27 PM

very funny the guy is in love and from the sound of the motor he did'nt even rev pass 5.5k. lol

Dorb 02-04-2013 07:38 PM

Who needs the 1000 mile break in period, just run the hell out of the dealers car and leave. lol.

Skurj 02-04-2013 08:21 PM

Loved it!

Someone speak up when he does his full review.
