Because contrary to what you've been told by the media, you don't have a right to never get negative criticism or comments in life. I didn't say you can't do it, I was just saying it makes you look like a bit of a cock.
My daily runner is a 1.8l asthmatic diesel van, it cracked out 60BHP new (probably 30 now) and I can easily average 45-50mph around the twisty roads of North Yorkshire. This is with budget tyres that are in need of replacement. Average speed means you're able to keep the flow and corner speed up. But to be fair, I can only average high speeds now because I braced up the front suspension. The flex in the chassis was so great without it I'd understeer off the road at 15mph.
Answer your question? If I had a rear view mirror it'd be blocked, but they aren't fitted for obvious reasons. You could spec this van to have back windows and they did come with rear view mirrors, although you did get a massive line through your field of vision.
You're posting your car for the world to see, you're going to get comments on it. If all you want is air blown up your arse, asking your mother if she thinks it looks cool.
What is with the current trend of tow hooks? Especially the new cloth kind? It just looks like you expect to end up in a ditch or broken down, not 'look at me in a race car!"
I was thinking it could be a lack of PAS thing, because the slightest bump in the road causes a big reaction in my direction of travel in the van, but the PAS in the Hilux has made the steering so light and numb it irons out everything in the road.
But I am mostly against it because I've been in situations I couldn't recover from one handed and I've seen people lose it because they were cruising like a gangsta.
The fact the roads round here are extremely demanding with a lot of hidden hazards coould be why I've come across a fair few vehicles on the side/roof. Don't get me wrong, I love spirited driving and rack up many miles a week for work, but that doesn't mean you have to get complacent.
I am not a fan of one handed driving over long periods of time, relaxed grip is one thing, but one handed, you're one water filled pot hole away from losing control.
Checking the mirror in an emergency is wasted seconds, but for slowing at junctions/lights, you have plenty of time to assess how quickly you can pull up. Round here tail gating isn't uncommon, so I always check to see who is up my arse to decide if I should start braking early or race up to the line and pull on the anchors. Motorbikers are the worst for tail gating and will sit right in the centre behind my van. Now this would be fine in a car, but as I have no back windows and can lose a Range Rover back there, I have to look out for shadows to see if someone hiding.
That idea of straight lining is what gets so many bikers into trouble out here, the amount of times I've gone round a relatively bind bend (sweeping left with a blind crest in the middle) to find a guy with both wheels on the white line and trying to get a knee down coming towards me. ****ing idiots. Wheel shufflers are too far up their own arses, they are more dangerous than a youth with a heavy right foot.
He can't give you what you already have. You dirty hussy, you told me you was a virgin.
You have an interesting idea of what isn't dangerous.
Statistics show that young female drivers are quickly catching up. Before the new insurance laws came about so you cannot charge extra for having testicles over ovaries the insurance brokers raised the premiums of young male drivers and adults between 30 and 50 years of age to cover the extra expense of young female drivers because pushing up the premiums for all young female drivers would be unfair because of a minority of bad drivers. I've never face palmed so hard in my life.
There are jokes in there? Damn, I was sat here agreeing with every point.
The longer you leave it the more nervous of motorway driving you'll become. My mother put it off for so long now she will detour for miles to avoid them, she has tried taking tuition on it but is still too scared to use them. In contrast, the same day I passed I had to use the M-Way, so it doesn't phase me, I've done pass plus, but that was just for insurance reasons. My sister also made sure to use the M-Way the day she passed and is perfectly happy using them.
But I know a lot of other people who avoided the M-Way after passing and are still nervous to this day when using them. So jump early before the fear or doubt from others about your ability to handle them grows.
If you referee it then you clearly have an interest in the sport you daft ****.
You're the worst troll around.

I suspect you get schooled e erytime you enter the ice with someone who actually likes the sport, I also suspect they know all of the rules, rather than just knocking a puck into the net for 10 minutes then going home.
Plus you're a snowback, it is in your genes to play hockey in the same way it is in a German's nature to invade Poland.

The problem is people consider driving to be a right and not the serious task it is. When you consider it is harder to get a license to use a chainsaw commercially than it is to drive a 2ton missile you know something is wrong with the system.
I am off the belief that if you're not interested in something you cannot do it well. I have no interest in football, so am rubbish at it. The same applies for driving.

They are now. It started with a biker who filmed himself going stupidly fast and stuck it on YouTube. He was a test case and the courts upheld the video as evidence, so now if you film yourself driving like a cock if the police can work out who you are, that evidence can be used to prosecute you.
I couldn't specify on the types of buildings as I cannot be bothered to download the footage to slow it down, but it is more than 40 feet. It was from your exit of a corner, denoted "slow" through to the end of a brick wall and the beginning of another zone denoted with further "slow" markings on the road. You are aware of what the "slow" markings mean aren't you? Here's a tip, it doesn't mean the people who live in that area are mentally retarded.
At about 0:54, all the way through you're on the right-hand side of the road.
Indeed, now I know why he blanks out his number plate, it isn't so people can't find out about his car, it is so we can't report him to the police for driving like a cock.
The overtakes are a grey area because it is easy to second guess a manoeuvre when you're not there, my van is so slow I really have to stir the coals to nail an overtake, which limits the places were I can take the risk.
But trying to clip the apex and constantly driving on the wrong side of the road (all the way through one village), why take such dick headed risks? I also find the lyrics in the choice of song amusing "What's the hurry? safety first, don't rush".
When I filmed my drives using my PDA camera, it looked much faster on cam than it does in real life.
No, you have to filter the oil before use to get all of the shit out as it makes life easier on the fuel filter. But if you go the route of adding thinners to make it more viscus be careful how much you add, my buddy from college added so much the lining from his fuel tank started to peel off and that did clog things up.
But you can just run veg on any old derv with no mods to the engine. Modern dervs have much finer tolerances and I'm unaware of many people who have tried it.
The manual box Mercedes use is even shitter, so it is one of the few vehicles where going slushbox is the correct move. Like Range Rovers.
You can run diesels on spent engine oil, Lucas pumps don't like it much, but Bosch pumps cope just fine. So if you have storage for some spent oil, hit up local garages or farms for a barrel or two.
If the power has gone up then your turbo is under extra load. More fuel = more power = more exhaust gasses = faster spinning turbo = more air = more fuel = more power ... you can see where this is going. Old turbos- and turbos in general- are very sensitive to dirty oil and once you start squeezing out more power they become hyper sensitive. So you always want nice clean oil and filters in before you start squeezing out the extra BHP.
First remove the plastic shrouding, then follow the exhaust manifold to the turbo, you'll see some silicone hosing attaching by more often then not jubilee clips, but these days they have gone to a sort of spring clip as they created a better seal than jubilee clips. They are a bastard to remove and replace, mole grips make the job easier if space is tight. Remove clip, pull off the hose and there you have it. Reverse the process when you're done.
You won't suffer noticeable power loss instantly if the turbo has only recently started to ingest itself. But this is a side affect of turning up the screw on an old turbo, I assume you was warned about this when you went to get the work done. I also assume you replaced all of the oily with shiny new full synthetic the day you went for the remap. As well as a shiny new fuel filter.
You will either need a pair of pliers or a screw driver to take off the hose clips to get into the turbo housing and it can all be done from the top.
The metallic sound sounds like the turbo on its way out.
If you have about half an hour free, rip out the plumbing for the turbo and feel around for any metallic shards, if the turbine has excessive play or signs of oil/fuel as the air side should be relatively clean.
Also, this isn't unlike a VAG car at all. People seem to think they are superbly reliable, but bad news on that one. It is bollocks.
