    2000 Toyota Solara Advice and Suggestions

    There's plenty that run 4-500, with auto oil coolers. It's torque that kills them.

    2000 Toyota Solara Advice and Suggestions

    You read my mind Waynne! Not sure of fitment etc, for ease stick a supra auto box in - usually good for 400-500bhp (add an auto oil cooler or two) - 600 maybe a bit of an ask without wrecking the auto box tho....

    boringly same as you, 80's - turbo charged F1 cars - THE Audi Quattro kicking ass in the rallying (and the sound that thing made was incredible) Ferrari F40 was iconic, Lambourghini Countach, and of course Miami Vice white Testarossa! :lol::lol:

    Stopping the jams.

    Thats my point should there be enforcement/warning sign cameras like they do in germany? If they stay too close for a certain amount of time they get ticketed - now that I wouldnt mind.

    Stopping the jams.

    Yeah the 2 second rule my driving instructor told me that one! Can remember him now saying in his scottish tone, amazing how some things stick with you. Yeah I know there isnt many chevrons - there should be a lot more - maybe have enforced warnings that u are too close - will keep m'ways...

    Audi A4 2.0T and 87 octane fuel

    possibly - but if its a lease car then who cares? Did find that odd how low octane your fuel is and how cheap it was! was around $2.50 a gallon last time was there, how much is it now?

    Pay and display car parking whinge.

    Unfortunately wayne the motorist is a cash cow that the government and councils readily seize upon, we know pay and display is an antwac system, we know speed cameras in majority of places are not for safety issues.
