    Why do you need two of the same car?

    That may be so, but I asked why two of exactly the same car?

    Presumably there's a reason for it.

    They're not the same. The spring rates are different, there are torsen diffs front and rear, the calipers are red (very important), the paint is a different colour (frosted white vs solid white), the wheels are forged BBS and a lot lighter, and if you look closely at the front, it has brake ducts (the old one's are blanked off), and if you look closely at the rear, it has a "Rallye" badge.

    So instead of just looking like an old fart in a sporty looking Jappa,you're going for the fully fledged old wanker look whom wants to be a 25 year old again.

    What's next,dying your hair? :D

    Well, I'll be flogging the old one, after driving them back-to-back for a bit to see what all the fuss is about.

    One thing I noticed is the tyres.. I put Chinese tyres on the Yaris (and on the Aston for the GAD), and they have been epic, but they look like a copy of the Michelins.
    I'll see if I can get a pic...

    Here you go, not just similar, identical. The Michelins are much stickier to touch, though (and bloody noisy).

    Plenty of tyre on the road helps to explain our well they handle.
