Do you like drifting? If yes then this totally new rear-wheel-drive Toyota FT-86 sport car is for you, it has arrived today at Mina Shuwaikh and we got some photos.
I read that Toyota FT-86 is very stable on the road because it has low center of gravity, it uses direct fuel injection for high performance, it also has excellent control, maneuverability, and high safety measures. I find this car great option for sport uses and drifting, they said price starts at KD7,000
I’ll test drive it soon to get more impressions.
Note: Please be aware that we are totally against drifting in public streets, only in specialized locations and sport events.

A friend of mine advised me to go for Nitrogen to inflate my tires instead of using normal air; his explanation was that summer is very hot in Kuwait with temperature exceeding 50 degrees celsius and tires need maximum protection especially that we see many tires blowout on the highways.
He also says nitrogen is used for aircraft and race cars tires and it helps preventing tire blowouts, thats good to know.
So I headed to Shuwaikh to find a garage that has Nitrogen and found it at Auto 1, I think its also available at Bridgestone and other big garages. I asked how much and they said 1KD for each tire (that’s 4KD), they started deflating my tires and replacing the normal air with pure nitrogen, whole thing took about 15 minutes.
Some of the benefits for using nitrogen:
-Tires will last longer and have less failures.
-Nitrogen is less heated and is less effected by pressure so more stable driving.
-Increase fuel efficiency because tires remain properly inflated.
-Reduces corrosion for wheels.

A friend of mine spotted this giant or should I call it “HULK’ pick-up on Gulf Road in the middle of the congestion, he says it was so big that it almost blocked his view. I’d rather call it a truck, I wonder why some guys love to ride such big trucks? The poor guy must be spending all his money on gas stations.
Thanks [Yousif]

Would you consider driving a China-made sedan? I spotted a new Chinese auto agency, GEELY motors, at Al Rai area that will be selling sedan cars. Currently we have some buses and pickups that are China-made but I never spotted a sedan. They say a brand new car will cost no more than 2,250 KD.
Until the quality and safety are fully assured, I’d stick to European, American, and Japanese cars.
Update: The agency is now open at Al Rai area and three models of Geely cars were launched in Kuwait.

The new cute Mini Cooper roadster has just arrived to Kuwait showrooms, I’m not into little cars but this one is an exception. I called the agency and they said there are two models where the Mini Coupe S Turbo costs KD10,750 , its currently displayed at the Avenues if you want to see it.
I think this little cute car is the best solution for Kuwait congested streets, I’m planning for a test drive soon, stay tuned.
