Well to get that light a shade you must have been parked very close to a nuclear blast!

Too much sunlight, something you guys living so far north won't understand. Try taking a photo of your car using a flash light and I think you'll find it will look my car.

Well considering where I live is equal to about Madrid Spain I would think you are between 1,500 and 2,000 kilometers north of me. I am closer to Florida than I am to the UK.

The two additional doors are a nice touch -

Hard to tell what the green color looks like. In this video inside of a studio it looks like a much darker green to me.

Warning!! Warning!!

Avoid weekly washing regimes as the Hakone colour fades much like your favourite pair of jeans!!

Just look at what happened to my other Hakone, I think it has to go back to the dealer... Although the photo below my car shows that if you continue washing it turns into a nice shade of grey and the front grille shrinks.. again much like your favourite pair of jeans!!

Yep, reminds me of a cross between an old Chrysler and an old Packard.

EverydayDriver "Toyota 86 vs Supra 2.0"




It seems Todd has been missing the magic of the 86.
