185 on TV
« on: May 10, 2009, 07:44:39 pm »
On a programme called "Primeval" - not sure exactly what it is but it was on in the background, but part of it was set in a scrap yard and there, say with no wheels was a fairly neat looking red 185! Poor thing.

Gaffer tape is like "the force" - it has a light side, a dark side and it holds the universe together.

There's nothing that shouts "Poor Workmanship"  more than wrinkles in the gaffer tape.....

EVERYBODY knows that the 185 is nothing more than a re-bodied 165. It was a marketing ploy to make the Celica more attractive to the limp-wristed brigade who were afraid of the 165s manliness. ;D ;D ;D

you may comment if you promise to behave yourself and stop being such a fanny simply because Baz and I choose to slag off your car.  ;)

I thought the 165 was the release they did based on a design envelope, before they'd finished the design process ?  Sure doesnt look like a finished article to me ;D

Then again by your own admission you don't know about their rally heritage and so are biased against the true greatness of the 165.
