    I thought you already had one. Do you want one for the other foot?

      Probably lots of cheap Jap cars, being so close [to] Japan I guess. I only ever hear good things about the well made Jap cars...

        Well it was going to be the M5 but the missus is not too keen now...I want the new AMG C63 which I saw the other day but went round to my local dealer who has a fully loaded AMG CLS 63 just sitting there which she likes. However, we're waiting for winter to be over so I don't have to buy another set of winter wheels and tyres this year. 'Er indoors likes the new Audi A4 so we'll see what they have in those first.

          What do you think about the A5?

            More than likely a knackered old vectra.

              Depends what they sell in NZ.

              Here's a spooky thing..whilst typing this had a call from Ford Sales..."we notice that your car is getting on a bit and wondered if you'd like a new one."

              How strange it that ?

              I replied "Unless it's going to implode, I can't see any need to replace it before emigrating. And even if I did, I'd buy a rusty old banger to get me by."

              They are well made, and certainly not as cheap as Fords
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

Consider the scenario of setting off under hard acceleration causing wheelspin or accelerating out of a tight bend. Under this condition a large speed difference occurs across the rear wheels and consequently a corresponding difference at the diff output shafts ( from the Hydratrak coupling). Inside the coupling itself, fluid is forced through small orifices thus effecting a resistance to the differential output shaft speed causing it. Because this action varies as the speed difference across the output shafts, the diff is "user friendly", the wheels cannot become "locked" as in a power-locking type diff for example and so limits effects such as both rear wheels slipping under clumsy downshifts, and the back end of the car is less likely to step out when exiting slow corners for example."

                      It's so good, I'd have another one. For the wife just for entertainment.
