FTO AUSTRALIA

Celica is a new addition and it allows me to take the FTO off the road for a wee while to get the bodywork all tidied up again and fit some new shells to the bottom of the engine, etc.

*smugs*

i used to think they were cool but never liked the gearbox when i test drove one,
but i dont like 6 speeds anyway, 1/2 the reason why i stuck with the lancer.


pretty car though!

Is it always evening in the UK? I seem to remember it being always not sunny when I was there

That was this morning Ben, about half an hour before evening strikes

Roger that

Not used to a manual box at the moment so there does appear to be an awful lot of gears but I reckon I'll get used to it - or kill the clutch trying

yeah i was always second guessing which gear i should be in and never quite felt i was in the right one... 5 speed FTW!

Love my 6 speed. It's awesome. Prefer it over the 5spd from the FTO anyday.

What the hell do you want, a tanning salon?

My retinas are burning from that picture.

Agreed. Drove that celica before and the gearbox feels much better, shift throw is shorter too.

ahh i remember watching on youtube an old pommy top gear thing about the fto, and they said the celica was better oO
