  1. Yo Ho, one point to The Warp, he does favour a Disabled Person Sticker , on the Tailgate." AUTO". Or perhaps he cant remember in what corner those Round Things are hiding. Then again, perhaps he just sits in Gridlocks to justify the sludgey things.. clap2.gif .Not saying that Automatics are useless ,but the rides fitted with a good ZF or similar are expensive..I can never get the Bouce Back right off the front suspension dip to execute a quick and neat parking reverse, like with a Manual .Those ditherers that take ages to find auto reverse , get on my tits. Like My WIFE.

  2. Ignis, im glad its not just me. I find all Toyota truck feel funny ,except the normal ride hight ones.Even the higher ride hight Mitsu G.T doesnt feel if its going to tumble over if you need to swerve.In fact Toyota Engineers should try one. But i open a Can of Worms. There are some who will now try to convice us for some reason a Pancake tips over the same as a Sauce Bottle. If you dont drive like a Prat on Public Highways ive never had any Traction Gizmoes kick in ever, even the ABS. The Nissan im sure is much heavier than most trucks , hence the small difference in fuel.

  3. As the Regs are today, yes he is the best. All i can add is i wonder how he would have compared against the Drivers of the Group 4 Lancia Stratos /RS 200/ Quatro Drivers with 600BHP to fight with.. Mikkola still remains my Fav overall with Roger Porkie Clark and many more Eighties Pilots. The list could go on forever. I Just Love the Sport.coffee1.gif

  4. They seem to have stayed around the same price since I bought mine 6 years ago, about the only difference was they threw in the bed liner.

    We paid our money and drove out the door with it, no waiting.

    Haven't been able to fault it in 6 years, runs like a dream, economical and you can get at least 10 inlaws in the back.

    An Honest Man at Last .!!!. Six Years , well maintained , and they remain good value.coffee1.gif
  5. How long did you work in Fords Central Purchasing.Perhaps your right about the time span, but when i see a Rear View Camera Cost , i have to smile , they are about 1.50 GBP.. Along with many expensive outsourced parts they buy em for peanuts. Air Cons and Turboes would make you cry ,if you realised how little Ford pay for them. Thats all ,they don't loose as much as they would like have us believe is my point.

  6. Ford Grenada never had a D.M. , i refer to a Spivo, not a YoYo auto box , jeeez it sounds crap without a maths lesson.. I broke bands to when i was a Kid with a Buick. And the "Short Thing" falls off the Seat in a Golf Cart. Still no Complaints here as yet to "The Clutches are Clucked" on my new Ranger. Gime an Old Transit any day.. Like i said No Distances Driven. Range Rovers Chew em Up., and most trucks here are old stock Spec, so no DMF.crazy.gif

  7. Only goes to show how little some of you know,and how few miles you realy do. Not one complaint yet of DM Flywheel disintigrating at about 50 K Miles .Thats about par for any hard driven Ford in Europe. Wait till you get the repair bills caused from fast take offs.It will be nice to see a New Captiveo on the road, driven by a Gentleman, and not Sid Yobbo in his Oiler .coffee1.gif

  8. You Boy, hold the FOOTBRAKE DOWN, rev the <deleted> of it , AND LET FLY. My Kids are nearly 40, ive heard all the Crap off them. When your Balls Drop , call me back, you are starting to sound an idiot.clap2.gif . Even my Wife said the Spivos 1St gear just revved and went nowhere. Bit like the Lights.USELESS on Dipped. But im wrong again.violin.gif

  9. KBB . Apart that a Ferang, imo , looks a bit of a Dick Head in one , when a Civic Manual blows most things away for a reasonably priced and comfortable Car. A Single Cab is fine for ferangs to Cart Thai Family around, if it rains Rope n Sheet em Over with a nice Tarp.. The O.P. clearly doesn't want to look a Prat screaming away from the Lights. Sorry, im a Purist. Trucks is For Humpin Goods, not for Posturing , and Pretending.. As an aside, a Ferang in a Truck saw us having a Beer, and joined us. He told me my ride gave many problems. I asked him what exactly went wrong with his, that prompted him to buy a Navara ?. Never ad one Mate. Beer sputtered everywhere. O.K. you use a Truck it to Suit You, but most are Pussey Whipped into a Truck..then buy a Jazz or. Yaristotle to go Lotus.drunk.gif

  10. Still miles to low geared, that and a trucks got no revs. A tugboat has a Massive Engine but it aint no Donzi. What u tryin to sell us.?.That a Truck is a Sports Car, Its a Freakin Truck, nowt wrong with that is there ?.. No, cause i don't understand Auto, ive only had them for 45 years.,and still prefer a manual except in traffic jams. Just listen to a Spivo in 1St , 6 Foot and its a Screaming ready to change..cheesy.gif
