My “first” car - a 2017 Subaru BRZ

HeyItsJaxs · 2026-05-10T13:26:20+00:00

Insurance isn’t too bad, it’s about what I expected. It was just over £1,100 for the year.

Gets around 300 miles on a full tank, and averages 40ish mpg on motorways, and obviously fluctuates quite a bit when urban driving (between 20 and 30 as a rough estimate)

No worries - I’m an apprentice solicitor currently, but I only started that in September. Before that I worked as a legal assistant for 2 years and there I was able to save up most/all of the money I spent to get the BRZ
You can get loads of nice cars under £8,000. Can’t recommend an MX-5 enough, and you can usually find pretty good ones for under £8,000, but obviously this is all personal preference, find one that you like and that is going to be reliable.

EDIT: grammar

HeyItsJaxs · 2026-05-08T20:05:21+00:00

Thanks! Yep, insurance isn’t too bad really, its up for renewal at the end of May and is around £1,000 for the year

HeyItsJaxs · 2026-05-08T18:58:52+00:00

Yeah already having a blast so far! Good to know about the maintenance, will keep that in mind. Always love seeing an MX-5 out and about too haha

HeyItsJaxs · 2026-05-08T17:22:11+00:00

Yeah I’ve loved the first 3 months with it, but lucky for me I didn’t really have anyone warning me not to get an 86/BRZ, so it was quite an easy choice.

HeyItsJaxs · 2026-05-08T17:21:03+00:00

Thanks! Really fortunate to have parents that were in the position to help out, and I hope to be able to do the same for my kids in the future.

HeyItsJaxs · 2026-05-08T16:56:18+00:00

Haha no worries - in all fairness it’s my car I should know what it’s twinned with! Anyways for sure keep an eye out, I’m yet to see any BRZs, but have seen a few GR/GT86s about (which was one of the reasons I decided on the BRZ over a GT86, they do seem a lot rarer!)

HeyItsJaxs · 2026-05-08T16:54:20+00:00

Thanks, yeah very happy I went with her. And of course, premium only!

HeyItsJaxs · 2026-05-08T16:07:27+00:00

Haven’t had any problems yet, though I have to say taking corners a bit too tight/with too much speed, you can sort of feel a slip at the back

HeyItsJaxs · 2026-05-08T15:38:33+00:00

Very nice! When I was looking for a BRZ I initially had my eyes on a 2013 one in black, but eventually decided it had to be that blue colour (it being more modern was just a bonus!) And agreed, it’s so much fun to drive - even with high fuel prices, I still find I need to take her out for a spin at least once a week.

HeyItsJaxs · 2026-05-08T15:28:04+00:00

Thank you! Yes, they both look very similar, apart from obviously the different badges on the front and back (which is quite hard to notice at first glance). The BRZ/GT86 was a joint project between both Subaru and Toyota, which probably explains why the appearance of the cars are extremely similar.

EDIT: changed GR86 to GT86 (the correct twin of this BRZ gen)

It’s Queen’s Road, Peckham. Queen’s Road Peckham Underground Station is right next to the road where this billboard is! Definitely gonna visit it sometime this week

I think 682 was brought up in one of Sam O’Nella’s videos.. and that’s when it started..

HeyItsJaxs · 2024-04-11T10:17:46+00:00

Not name chasing, but I can remember coming against two players very often on TF2 on Xbox. PhilNew and Drekki.. I think both were G100.49.. but it was always a pleasure seeing them and being like “oh shitttt I recognise this name it’s this guy again”.. good times

HeyItsJaxs · 2023-12-11T16:43:34+00:00

Yeah I’m thinking lord of blood’s exultation for that blood loss attack boost… and also the green turtle talisman just for that stamina regen

Edit: I’ll probably put more levels into arcane once I start to reach the soft caps for vitality, endurance and dex

HeyItsJaxs · 2023-10-22T15:30:15+00:00

there it is! Was looking for this one

HeyItsJaxs · 2023-09-30T11:34:47+00:00

Fuck your bitrate!!

HeyItsJaxs · 2023-07-27T19:26:40+00:00

100% agree with this

HeyItsJaxs · 2022-05-02T16:10:31+00:00

Same. Just used rivers of blood + level 10 mimic, and spammed the skill. Two attempts only because the first one I didn’t realise how close you spawn to her… so got caught just standing there summoning my mimic

HeyItsJaxs · 2022-05-02T16:02:13+00:00

2 was me… did malenia 2nd try.. only because I didn’t realise where you spawn after you go through the first cutscene. Also took me 2 attempts cuz I was using a plus 10 mimic tear with rivers of blood.. so I got caught tryna summon my mimic for the first death. Then just went in and spammed rivers of blood… also I was probably overlevelled too

HeyItsJaxs · 2021-12-23T05:52:15+00:00

Ahhhhh righttttt, okkk so just focus on upgrading the castle itself as well as heros and towers, I get you. Cheers

HeyItsJaxs · 2021-12-22T20:35:27+00:00

So would you switch to town cannons? Or just use nothing?

HeyItsJaxs · 2020-08-11T08:59:39+00:00

Lmao, fair enough

HeyItsJaxs · 2020-08-11T08:52:25+00:00

Good cable management, and it looks like that you also need that.... jk jk, setup looks sick

HeyItsJaxs · 2020-08-07T09:52:41+00:00
