[Greek Celicas]

I must admit I forgot to pack any

[Greek Celicas]

I hadn't noticed that initial business. The 5 is in a bit of a state, but probably better than mine which is now almost certainly cube shaped

[Greek Celicas]

You are all forever in my thoughts and very much so today, I think a bit of input from the detailers might be of use

Both parked up in Mykonos town this afternoon

[Gen 7 vs gen 6 GT]

I sold my 7 for a 5. The 5 is the better car but age does weary them and the years do condemn

[Celica photo challenge.]

No pics for a month, this thread is dead in the water on the current challenge. So first to post a new one get the go ahead.

[Where does the extra oil go?]

There is some in the filter

Head gasket issues

[bad move?]

Do it! I went from Gen 7 to 5 about 6 years ago for exactly that reason, with my total lack of technical expertise it was now or never. So glad I did because I dont see them making Gen 5's again any time soon.

[Toyota World Cardiff - Knowledge of their staff.]

I had a bit of trouble with Mr T a couple of years ago, "Celica ST 182 ..... Gen 5... ...... no?... " Pointed to the enormous pic in the show room, "Looks very similar to that"

[It's been fun]

But... but

Its french

[Early mot ?]

NO!!! Read the thread and all will be revealed to you

[Early mot ?]

Which means that no MOT is valid at the point your car would fail and therefore the 12 month thing goes out of the window. It's two seperate issues, one is road worthiness and one is conforming to the requirements ofcthe MOT testing regime. I entirely agree that it's a nonsense, but a certificate is valid for 12 months.... end of.

[Early mot ?]

The problem with that argument is that it would negate the whole system, as an MOT is only valid as a true cerificate of road worthiness at the point the tester signs it off. What if you have for racing slicks 10 months in? Your offence is driving with defective tyres, not driving without valid MOT.

The issue here is not road worthiness but whether or not you hold a valid MOT certificate. So actually only me and my accolites are correct

[Early mot ?]

Just applied a bit of logic, the current system derives from holding a valid certificate, once you hold one thats it till it expires because you can produce a valid certificate.

[Early mot ?]

Your MOT is valid until it expires

[Just seen this on Pistonheads - "Shed of the week"]

but whatever floats your boat

I think my boat just struck a rock

[Who's Pushing the Boundaries?]

Hello Bubba, long time no post, good to see you're still with us

[standard fuel VS premium Fuel]

I think 152 miles doesn't come close to any type of objective test. I get drastically different MPG on the same fuel on the same day, weather, traffic frame of mind, etc etc all have an effect.

[Does coasting actually save fuel?]

On my old 318 if I coasted down hill in neutral the fuel consumption indicator went up, in gear with no or little throttle it dropped like a stone. I put it down to gravity turning over the engine rather than my petrol

[speed limiter]

Ah! The old talking cack trick. So it is 112mph

[speed limiter]

OK I appreciate pedantic OCD could be an issue, so how about 69.5935735305814 Miles per Hour

[speed limiter]

120mph minus 10% happens to be 108. So for 112mph it's less than 10% deviation.

And to correct cooper, the law in Japan is to have a 112kmph speed limiter, converting the car to miles just so happens to convert that speed limiter too.

Really? The Japanese are restricted to 70mph?

£30 each way???? Has the charging criteria changed? Because a few years back that was for 24 hours, if you stayed over for a few days it was hundreds.

cheaper than IOW ferry then

The Isle of white ferry has always been a rip off

[Where Have You Been In Your Celica Today?]

I hate you Dubs,but only for good reasons. What did the ferry cost?
