Defining car culture 067TOYOTA GT86
Playground games have been the same forgenerations. You’ve
got a bunch of kids rushing about the yard chasing after a football,
another group getting in their way playing kiss-chase, a gang hanging
out under the trees playing conkers (we’re showing our age here,
conkers have probably been replaced by some sort of conker-based
iPhone app, right?), and then in the corner you’ll find the boys and
girls who will ultimately grow up to be petrolheads. They’re feverishly
scanning through one another’s Top Trumps decks, ‘got, got, need’,
to see who’s holding the Countach or Atlantique they’ve been
hankering after, obsessively learning bhp figures, kerb weights and
0-60mph times, feeding the passion, making sure that their future
direction can only take the one true (slightly oily) path.STICK OR TWISTFast-forward a decade or so, and you find Max Taylor playing this
game with real cars. See the stanced GT86 here? He traded it for
another car. Like you do. Ruthless approach, that – he’s clearly
playing for keeps.
