[P4g4nite]

HAHAHA! I got to drive one today.
Prognosis: Fungasms.

It feels really small inside, I`m 5 10 which seems to be above average height in Japan but I`m not fat so fitting in was no problem. Clutch was really light but with a ton of feeling almost like it was unassisted, brakes were bitey and not progressive, so I didn`t use them :P Go pedal was really responsive, give it a stab and the little engine screams like a baby dino on your lap, followed by a slight hiss of turbo noise. Gears were surprisingly still tight with hardly any vibration coming through at speed, movements are quite small but makes a good `clicky` feel as you select.
Driving off is not so smooth, you want a couple of thousand showing on the tacho or you get nowhere but after a few meters you start picking up pace then just as the engine starts sounding angry you feel a bit of torque, you wait for it to build but then it`s time for a new gear. Only 100Nm after all, but damn does it rev, feels like it loves it too.
This was a front driver version but the front is so light even the lack of power steering don`t damage the cornering ability much. The tiny wheelbase and narrow tyres make changing direction a really fun a physical activity, you lean over on the wheel and give the fun pedal a squeeze and if you`re lucky the back will step out a fraction and you`ll have a moment of front wheel drift before I tankslapped it.
Gears are really short which is good because changing them is fun and if you only have to drive around town it isn`t so bad but highways might be a bit tiring.

I want one of my own, even front drive would be enough, would want a tad more torque though, a bigger, laggier turbo with a corrospondingly bigger punch would be perfect for this car I feel. It was a a good day.

The original MINI and the revived version as well may be small cars, but they have a coolness factor which way exceeds the Alto.

Funnily enough, there are dozens of original Minis in this city for some reason, dunno how they all got here. Who gives a rats arse about some `coolness factor` besides 13 year old girls and wankers?

The Alto IMO is one of the cars that absolutely DO NOT fail as just a way of transport (of course, better that than to walk) but lack any character.

This is the Alto Works we are talking about here...
Fake EDIT: IB4R said it as well as I could have.

Nothing wrong with my dick size by the way, ask my girl

Well, your deep sense of worry about what image each car has seems to suggest an anxiety about the contents of your trousers.

I was just in a rebellious mood yesterday

.....You rebelled against a Suzuki Alto Works?

It was all I dared hope it would be, I would sell vital parts of other people`s bodies to have one and the funds to tinker with it.

I just expressed myself a bit brainless in the first post, which provoked reactions about big Hummers and penile size. I expected that, but decided not to edit post as I was curious how discussion would move forward.

You threadshitted and I flamed you.

I understand it, I just don`t care for it unless it`s funny.
