Get ready for 2nd generation of SS-four..., 4x4=205 ;) Options

[malpaso]

At last I can fully share with news... After my project failed I tried to figure out what would be the best with remaining budged. I talked to many friends and all said the same: "Buy ST205... you can not regret". So I made few messages and planned 1000miles trip

It started at Friday 14:50 with airborne


the same day after few hours in London's airport...


...at last boring part of trip ended in Manchester . I have met bodhi and his GT-four at the airport...


He took me to pick up my new baby . Yes... that white one GT-four below...


It's pure almost stock JDM model with all Japan market goodies I have always wanted to have in my car






First night as fresh GT-four owner (and after first few miles with RHD car I took a rest in bodhi's house. Thank you so much again for your help mate!)


Saturday morning 7:30... just quick inspection before long ride home...


Even in RHD car in the UK I was still on the right side of the road .


After 350 miles (about) I took the rest on ferry... pretty new experience as well.


Saturday 15:14... Good bye England.


So weird feeling... I definitely do not like traveling by boat (with car )


At last "solid ground". Damn long 90 minutes . Welcome France...


...and still the same side of road .


Sunday morning 9:15 I have left France to Belgium, than Netherlands and finally... Autobahn! No-speed-limit highway in Germany


First chance to test if limiter really has been removed (during gauge conversion to miles) JDM 180km max speed is boring right? .


Car runs unbelievably... but it costs something (I hate German highway... You would not believe how much fuel it can take when driving fast)


Sunday afternoon 18:00 at last first sign I'm close to Czech Republic again...


Sunday evening 20:00... After today's 600miles I got home... (Only here you can meet harvester between cars on road )


My trip is over but all fun still has not began . 2nd gen of SS-four needs some time and work

Wait, I just noticed...why does yours say GT-4 coupe? It doesn't exist.

That's a bit degrading to the car itself.

Coupe is what it is in the UK. Hatchback is Civic, Golf, focus etc...

Celica, TT etc is a coupe.


Over here, a celica with a boot (trunk) would be called a saloon. But it was only inflicted on you guys j/k
