Re: The Light Utility Challenge *Accepting*

Mine was a bit of a squeeze to get in the requirements for this challenge, but it'll surprise everyone.

Completely off topic you have a '99 A4? Cool, my dad just got rid of his he bought brand new. I really like those for some odd reason, guess I am not entirely normal but who is on this forum? :lol:


Yeah, I currently own a 1999 Audi A4 Avante Quattro with the 132Kw 1.8 turbo (manual gearbox of course, :lol: ). But it won't be mine soon as I've swapped it for an '88 AW11 Toyota MR-2! :D

Downgrading? Okay, guess you could do it but why?

Re: The Light Utility Challenge *Accepting*

A leaked memo has somehow found it into the hands of the general public, from Storm Automotive's cheap cars division, Arctic Motors. It appears to be between two people on the marketing team, concerning the truck they plan to sell. A picture of the prototype has also been included.

"Are you sure that the engineers read the request properly? The Brute is a nice truck, but, well, it's a little... big. Wouldn't you agree?"

"Big trucks sell. We've known this for years. You can't make a truck 'too big' to sell."

"Have you seen the roads in Archana? This... thing... it'll take up a whole lane!"

"Anything smaller will be eaten by a pothole. It's the right size. We won't tell the engineers to change it. It's too late to do that now."

(Note: The truck is actually the truck I put in. This is just background fill regarding my amusing, mostly-just-for-fun entry. The idea is that someone forgot to tell the engineers that they were supposed to build a small truck. They were told to build a truck to fit the challenge without being told to keep it small.)

I don't expect it will do well, but I had fun building it.

:lol: I don't see it as a downgrade! The Audi is the very definition of *meh* and is so boring to drive. Don't get me wrong, it's classy to look at, comfy inside and can be very quick when hustled but it's too easy...

The MR-2 is a bucket list car of mine, has the legendary 4A-GE installed from factory, requires driver skill to extract the best from it and is very involving on a sensory level. 8-)

I find it okay to drive but the S4 is the fun one. Well guess its not a downgrade then! Have fun with it! :)

Well, this is awkward... I just found out the MR-2 has rust all around the windscreen so the swap isn't going to happen :cry:

*sigh* Time to re-list the Audi and hopefully I'll be able to sell it soon :oops:

If I had my way I'd own the RS4 as I love that car's understated aggression and bulk power, :lol: , but I'd most likely buy an R32 GT-R if I was spending money like that! 8-)

AS the lucky previous owner of 2 AW11's, I urge you to fulfill that dream, such a brilliant car to drive and the response on that engine is amazing. It is probably the best winter car I've ever had.
