The car's ok too ;)

lol thanks :p
It's my Dad's company car, I tried to persuade him to get the RS4 avant, but no luck im afraid. Its got a 2.5 turbo diesel, which is fekin fast! Just a bit faster than my clio!
 
^ is it just me, or does one wheel look far more turned in than the other one?

I wish they'd stop calling it Avant. It sounds too much like Savant, and the car's anything but autistic.
 
I think it's cause I'm just more to the right of the car than the left.

Or at least that's what I hope :huh:
 
Finally got all the May Day pictures done, this is one shot from the traditional "technical student baptism"...basically they throw all the new students into a nearby river/lake/whatever in tech universities around Finland. Here in Tampere they "dip" the students with two big cranes to the rapid flowing through the city center. Yes, the water is damn cold. And yes, they are drunk, so they probably don't feel a thing, at least until the next morning :p

I am jealous...did you get a ride?

it was really short, the guy had to get somewhere and I asked him if I could do some shots, but then I figured out that he lived just two blocks from my apartment, so he gave me a lift :)
 
He seemed a little bit of a douche, as he was talking about himself and how good he is all the time, at to show off, he revved the engne at the red lights and then stalled the car. He tried again and we almost spun out. I didnt have a secure feeling with the guy, but as we rode, I could feel the road by the seat of my pants, and even though the ride was hard, it felt so delicate, despite being me being a passenger. The driving was so poor, he was shifting all wrong everytime, and being massively jerky, but my liking for the car still made it a good ride. On a side note, the tires are unbelievably low profile in real life. I know clarkson said that too, but when I saw it for real, I couldnt help being surprised.
 
Having some fun with my little dog :)

Another one from the MR2 World Record attempt...

You say attempt. Does that imply it was unsuccessful?

Well, we're still waiting on official confirmation, unfortunately. Biggest problem is that at the moment the Guiness World Record guys don't want to accept a single model record, but rather a single make. And Lotus did the same thing two weeks earlier (but with lots of different models) and got 313 cars - we 'only' got 293... Of course, if we'd known that we could do all Toyotas.... well... :)
Also we were supposed to maintain a gap of less than two cars between each car while we were on track, and there's still some debate as to whether everyone did or not...
Unfortunately the organisation on the day was not great at all and so may have ruined the attempt. Still, it was a great day out and well worth it!!!

Last photo... :)



Ohh - this one too, so you know what 293 MR2s in one place looks like... Sorry to break the rules a bit, but this doesn't count as my photo of the day! ;)
