Jen Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Traffic Stopper The Sydney Morning Herald Andrew Taylor January 29, 2008 Todd Lasance, actor on Home and Away What was your first car? A black Nissan 180SX 1991 turbo. I was 19 years old and got a loan to buy it second-hand for $12,500. My best mate had one and I always had a bit of thing for it. I'm a little bit of a turbo lover and it's one of the fastest cars in that price range. What are you driving now? A red Toyota Supra 1996 twin-turbo. Absolutely no doubt, this is the dream car I've always wanted. It's pretty much one of the quickest imported cars you can get. Once I had enough money, I hit the car yards to find a Supra. It's a fairly rare car, especially in Newcastle [Lasance's home town], so it turns heads when I drive it around. When I drive back home on the freeway, I can test the engine by hitting the speed limit - I never go over it, of course. But it's a good feeling to know I've got all that power under the bonnet. I guess it's a bit of a guy thing. What's your ideal car? I'd go for the Ferrari 360 Modena. If I win Lotto, that's the one I'll snap up. It's a power trip but obviously a Ferrari commands respect. Yeah, it's every dude's dream to have a Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini. What's your favourite road trip? A couple of mates and I used to head out to Mudgee to visit a friend who has a property out there. It's totally country. We'd drive dirt bikes around and go hooning around ... a real boy's holiday. What's your favourite bumper sticker? Dobbers get results. What's your pet road peeve? I hate people who ride up your backside. That's a big, big annoyance. If I'm running late for work, hitting red traffic lights is frustrating. What's your favourite car movie? Too Fast, Too Furious. I'm an imported-car man and the cars in that are pretty damn good. Who taught you to drive? I learnt on an old Mazda Astina - my mum's car - but it was dad who taught me to drive. He was patient. Well, sometimes. He was good with tips. "Treat everyone on the road like they're idiots," he told me. I guess he meant you should always expect other drivers to make a mistake. Better drivers - men or women? Oh, man, are you trying to get me into trouble? I can't say. My mum might read this. Or any future girlfriends.
