Just saw Avatar.
What can i say but dosen’t 2 1/2 hours go quickly.
Awesome movie:D

Awesome movie for the SFX. But the story is Pochahontas. Nowthen, who else fancied the big blue bird? I did!!:D

Pelham 123. Good film indeed, a few holes in the plot (In the way the Police / FBI didn’t do stuff…and when do any of the forces have trousers that are not tucked in their boots?) but it didn’t spoil the activity of enjoying a film. Of course, the acting of Denzel Wash. and Travolta uplifted the whole thing.

Yes, Lexus. I looked at some before I bought the 7. They do not hold the quality inside or out. Nice, but not for longevity. The lump had gone on most of them, the screwdriver-on-ear check revealed lots of ticks and tocks.

As for losing the PAS and PAB, yes. Nowthen, at speed the slight movement available on Steer may be enough to enable CFI the kerb. The brakes will probably give enough to bring speed down to a survivable speed. And in panic one would stamp the brake anyway, and there is a lot of strength available when in danger, especially in the legs. A snapped cambelt usually ends up with a braking system known as a frozen engine.
The media doesn’t need to be full of stories about this “Death trap”, as it is a primary safety point in the Highway code etc. “Never Coast”….or words to that effect. Even at coasting, the speed can be 70 but the lump is on tickover at 700rpm, which is not actually enough “Power assist” to stop half a ton of metal at that speed. Fortunately, modern brakes are actually cack-hot and one can get away with it…..but not twice on the same coast.

I have coasted for about 5 miles on the Heads of the Valley Road in South Wales, on the way into Abergavenny from the West. Using a tapping action on brakes to keep speed to 70, one notices that each tap needs to be a bit harder than previous. Yes, I knew it was dangerous and probably illegal? but it was 3am and only me, postmen and burglars were out.

CATIA, or Dog Ear as it was originally known as.

Minos 2. It’s free download. Don’t forget Google Sketchpad, again free.

Don’t try it, the lump may suffer valve jump and that could cause a spectacular grungey noise. All the parts you need to fix it are in the sump.

Just about to watch Tekkin of Pelham 123 and The Informant (Again)…it was poor qlty on the aeroplane).

Belated best wishes.

You don’t look it.:)

Creak, you need to wise up on this subject, a little shoebox like a Toyota will probably stop and steer enough to have a controlled flight into the gutter.

I am 6 foot 2 and fit, healthy. Full arm lock on my 7 series, with no power to the steering, would just about get you to the kerb. The brakes would need as much pressure on them as a power lift down the gym. In no way whatsoever would one be in control. And, as you well know, a BMW (Even the modern ugly ones by that Yank) will always outshine/outdrive/outlive a Jap. And of course they have class and style, again, unlike a Jappo.
I have been to the Toyota plants in Japan, where I was tought the TPS, we then went on to the Kawasaki plants in Kobe, where we learnt the KPS (Which is the TPS with refinements).
Show me a >12 year old Toyota that still runs as well as a >12 year old Beamer. (Showpieces and collectors specials disallowed) I know you can’t.
Toyotas best product ever was the flat bed, as proved on Top Gear.
