for smaller repairs, your average stone chip repairman, can visit you +repair/touch them up on the car

[How much does RPM effect MPG?]

easy acceleration saves me more fuel than a lower top speed

to be honest, as Amy very kindly suggested, and Lex pointed out. 2zz and economy isnt really great. i nail the fuck out of my car everywhere, screw economy. if i wanted that id buy a.... uuuuurgh... deisel.... eeeeeeerugh!!!

you'd be supprised by some tdis.

riding in an audi 170bhp tdi ~250lbft. the thing pulls like a V6. they come in 4wd

it can give you whiplash from low speed acceleration

it is so quiet, you cant hear the engine on a dual carrageway. (tdi noise is noticeable around town)

someone has one @220bhp +350lbft torque

a few things that might shock some diesel-phobes

[A very sad day :-(]

sorry to hear about the problems

[Car security]

bigger alarm companies update their products +your one is no longer listed as a cat 1 product

id say a big thing is the installer!!!

[Inner CV boot]

[Lights..........]

mot people keep adjusting mine, so anyone i run over will be able to see light, cause i cant.

so i adjust them to shine on the road, after the mot

i use PIAA extreme whites, but the phillips extreme range were very similar +half the price

[Beware the Gritter scourge!]

i cant wait for the lines of cretins sitting behind the gritter on motorway +blocking all the lanes at the same time

[Flat Wiper Blades]

PIAA silicone ones are the only thing i'll use now

every other make has been arse in a matter of weeks +the piaa's do last +perform, better than any other on day one, until day 365!!!

[Wipers.]

Get some PIAA silcone wipers. Trust me: you will never go back to normal wipers after them. Totally worth the extra money.

!!!!! PIAA or nothing (till i get PIAA for me) LOL

[Does anyone else suffer from ....]

[CELICALITUS - explained]

Talking to your car

Giving her a friendly pat on the dash and saying well done after overtaking something

Oh and have you ever had the "if my car was human what sorta person would she be?" convo with yourself while driving??

yes, yes, more like the archangel Michael

[Anybody bought Toyota red coolant lately?]

the latest stuff i got from mr t was 5ltr, but now double strength.

so that might be why theyre quoting a higher cost...

[Other Toyota Drivers]

i see alot of people of certain ages who drive celicas, because theyre nice cars? but dont acknowledge/recognise any other celicas...

i find its mainly younger people, in celicas that show more car awareness.

about time toyota made another decent "sports" car, even if they make a hybrid version.

but the whole industry is bollox now. theoretical euro mpgs...

i mainly do motorway miles +want the 70mph mpg figures! not some euro mpg ponsense

[A random thought poped into my head]

id ask prosport what they could do to it, 4wd chevy engine? like the goldeneye bond movie stunt cars, or buy a maserratti 4200 +stick the gen5 shell on it

get a DB9 or vanquish?

not interested if a ferrari or lambo is faster...

[fitting nos]

V6 conversion

[grrr, what the hell is this little rattle?]

loose cuttlery? you kleptomaniac

[fitting nos]

a female member SAS had one on hers, till the pistons melted?

might be worth pm-ing her, to find out the issues she had with the mod/use?

considered getting a GT4?

better handling! aswell as the power increased to 250hbp.

[Suplica?]

got rid of the froggy look though

[How often do you red line your car?]

2nd to 3rd is a huge ratio change so got to get the revs high unless your tootling in a gen5

[bloody car parks !]

Sorry to hear that.

One point on CCTV. You probably won't be able to view it unless in accompanymet with a member of the BiB. (or unless it comes up on one of the dozens of TV programmes showing this sort of stuff.)

I had an issue a year or two back where Mrs MB needed to view some CCTV footage and was told that if the store manager where she worked found ou then she and the person showing her the footage would be liable for dismissal and possible prossecution unless it was sanctioned bt the local constabulary.

Needless to say we found other ways of getting the information.

i thought anyone recording images in public, had to make them available to be viewed by anyone who requests it!

a comedian challanged the "recorded for public safety" excuse, by dressing in rabbit costumes +then asking to see the footage.

the answer was, "we were unable to identify you in the footage" couldnt see a 6ft tall white rabbit

+thats without considering all the images of other peoples minors, they have

[Oil filter plus]

any old magnet will do!

[Cleaning in the rain?]

i like the results from washing in the rain.

the metals not too warm +its not a race to stop any water drying marks...

[Really angry - someone has jsut scratched my car!]

Well, the peugeot was back in the car park on Sunday, so it must be local. And parked liked a tool again, straddling 2 bays. I won't do anything but my dad will keep an eye out

eye for an eye
