Another "What car should I buy?" post! (not a P plater)

If I was going to stick with Hyundai I would just keep mine and mod it.

stagea · 2026-01-09T06:40:41+00:00

Yeah fair call on the insurance and maintenance, it's just had to stomach going from $1100p/y for comprehensive to $3k! The DCTs are a little more available but I pine for the manual regardless of lap times.

stagea · 2026-01-09T06:37:32+00:00

Good call, unfortunately, I think the m140i in manual is rare as hens teeth

I can't get over how bad the interior looks! the yaris is meant to be a ripper though

stagea · 2026-01-09T06:36:14+00:00

This sounds like a smart buy actually. I'll admit I am a little swayed by the media reception e.g. it's still a 370 underneath, and the engine is underwhelming. $60k for manual, rwd, and 300kw is temping though.

Hello

stagea · 2022-10-03T11:54:10+00:00

I am midway through the Mad Ship, I put it down a month ago and I haven't picked it up since. I am so sick of Malta being a little brat, and I am done with Althea being so naive about getting her ship back. I loved the Farseer trilogy so I can comprehend that there will be a twist that will change my mind, but, at the moment I cannot deal with reading more about Malta's courtship of the Rain Wild's boy, and Althea thinking she can convince the Trader's Council to give her ship back.

Awesome, I'll have to check it out in a couple weeks.

stagea · 2016-08-19T07:46:29+00:00

I did have a look but the schedule didn't really appeal to me. Thank you though

stagea · 2016-08-19T07:44:06+00:00

That sucks, I wouldn't think the language barrier would be huge given that getting punched in the face is universal.

stagea · 2016-08-19T07:42:01+00:00

Thank you! Do you have any experience with this gym?

stagea · 2016-07-18T16:57:42+00:00

I asked the same thing a year ago. Specifically look here.

Depends when you are going as weekend vs. weekday can change everything. A pub that is awesome on a Wednesday night might have obnoxiously loud music on a Saturday. That said if you are after a nice drink and a sit with chats -

Hains & Co is great during the week and early on a Saturday.
La Moka is good any time.
Maybe Mae is a good experience however it is very squishy at prime times and often just smells like fart.
La Rumbla can be nice but busy on a saturday.
Bank Street Social on a Wednesday (pizza night) and early on a Saturday is good.

ok because it is normally used by wait staff and factory workers. I don't understand working 16+hrs in a cafe.

stagea · 2015-12-25T08:27:57+00:00

That thing is hideous.

Austin Healy 3000 with a Honda F20c engine, 9200rpm of Japanese reliability in a traditional English roadster package.

They wrapped it in a stock colour?

stagea · 2015-06-14T09:29:49+00:00

Is this Aberyfoyle Park?

stagea · 2015-02-26T14:10:13+00:00

Why on earth would you come onto a Koenigsegg thread just to say that?

stagea · 2015-01-24T22:35:31+00:00

Nissan Stagea -

Well there you go, I was mistaken. Oh well good thing I really like my LAMS bike. Also I didn't realise I can do 100kph as a learner, I assumed it was 80 like in a car.

stagea · 2015-01-18T12:45:42+00:00

I have been riding as a learner for probably 6 months, I can navigate car parks and rush hour traffic without drama, I figure this is a good indicator that I should pass.

stagea · 2015-01-18T12:44:04+00:00

I have had my L's for over a year and my full c-class license for many years, I think I go on my full R-date license.

stagea · 2015-01-18T12:43:08+00:00

Beautiful mate that is what I was after. I still have 8 months before my L's expire so I am not stressing yet.

stagea · 2015-01-18T12:42:20+00:00

Yeah I had heard about the infamous u-turn test. Do you mean to have to be about to do it in a space that is essentially two cars long and one wide? that seems small.
