Being quite young and naive and a gamer-holic, my love of the AE86 came back when Gran Turismo was a new game to be had on the original playstation. It was a great money earner in the game but thats all I considered it to be.
Fast forward a few years later and I now find my urge to drive has risen, especially since my sister has now become an officially licensed driving instructor (hence cheap prices). Looking for a first car to be modified and enjoyable, I consider searching for a RWD car thats not too heavy on insurance and realistic. It had to also be Japanese, purely because of engine build and well...they have character. The AE86 wasn't in my mind at all and a 200SX was looking a bit of a hard one to insure. Suddenly pops up in my local arcade Initial D arcade stage (cliche I know. Initial D being the answer to every young AE86 owner. However I have good intentions) I was curious as to why the AE86 was the feature car and researched it a bit more, to find some amazing opinions on the cars driveability. I suddenly found the car was essentially everything I could ask for with short supply being an issue and cost being relatively high, I set out for one as insurance would be more realistic than a 1.8 turbo and anything ford had on offer didn't appeal to me. I now sit here happily in the AE86 stable with a great bunch of people offering helpful advice and a great community for a great car. |
