Nah not Haval. This was just a single solid 'H', but inside the lines of the H was a a curly, lacy design, on a white background.

You can't really see it in the vid, but i recall it at the time;

ASwo

(shaky vid is shaky because it's just my phone with a dashcam app, won't seem to embed)

I won't be ruining someone's day today if i can't figure out who it was

Tbh looks like a late model Honda Stream

Not sure if serious.

Unfortunately your best bet might be to google side-on pics of late model vans till you find it. My first thought was LDV, from the video, for what little that's worth.

Nope Im just looking at the wrong vehicle at the wrong red light.

**GaR** · 12th February 2019, 6:08 pm

Ah yep. I watched the whole thing this morning without spotting the driver in question at all.

You can actually trim the video using Youtube's editing function. It's clunky, but if you have a decent connection, it's quicker and easier than editing and reencoding the clip before uploading.

Not sure if i've explained it well, but the H was a company logo, on the passenger side door (not the vehicle manufacturer logo). It's really hard to see in the vid, but i recall it at the time. I think i've seen the logo before, but no idea what company it is.

I want to send the company the link to my video and say "Look at this dangerous prick!". I just don't get how people think that running red lights and that kind of thing in a signwritten company vehicle is a good thing, especially with the prevalence of dashcams these days.

Thoughts on Toyota caldina GTT's?

**Mutton** · 13th February 2019, 10:35 pm

Most likely old, thrashed and rooted. Otherwise pretty cool.

**Triple_S** · 14th February 2019, 7:17 am

Good at cracking manifolds

I'd never own one again this as for sure.

Looking at buying a manual turbo car this year for around 10k. Have been looking online at few cars like the Mazda 6 MPS, Subaru Impreza and Legacy. My choice of cars are rather limited and I think the Colt Ralliart Version R would be a good car to fit those requirements. Any thoughts on the Ralliart or other cars I should look at?

So, my letter of dissatisfaction over the tyre eating car got me a (somewhat unexpected) full refund on the tyres.

Unsure if this means free tyres for life if they continue to wear out this quickly, because it does kinda set a precedent.

R33 GTS25t in white is probably your best way forward

Cheers. Oh I forgot to mention it must be silver.

Those colts are quite a bit of fun.

I would think the 6MPS is the best bang for buck – the 3MPS is a fun car and you can remap that engine (in both cars) to run close to 300hp as well.

**Triple_S** · 19th February 2019, 1:22 pm

The colts are very reliable and fun to drive. Unlike the Mazdas you can drive the colts hard, have a lot of fun, but still be within the speed limits.

Test drove a c32 amg today as looking to trade my car for something nicer when funds come in. Boy that's a lot of car, pretty damn fast

**curts** · 19th February 2019, 1:30 pm

I test drove the Hyundai i30N the other weekend – what a fun car. Felt better and more engaging than the Ford Focus RS. Seriously tempted to grab one, but I may wait to see if the Veloster N is coming to NZ or even the i30N fastback.

**HibikiAmawa** · 19th February 2019, 2:28 pm

the i30N fastback looks like a better Civic

Yeah for sure. Had a check engine light on after i turned it off and it's a Japan import also. No way I'd be buying that

**GorGasm** · 19th February 2019, 9:52 pm

Ahh that era AMG isn't too bad. At least go the C55 though, or the E55 if you want to put hairs on your chest.

$12.5k for 470HP and 700NM is crazy.
