It is a very short first gear, ~20mph is where it tops out. No idea what it idles at as I don't have a tac, but it is standard 1.8D, so I'd assume ~500-700rpm.
It was a sporting incident. Sure it was a hard tackle and the position was unfortunate, but it wasn't done with malice. If anything they will have to alter the layout of the team boxes (slopping angles rather than right angles) as that would be the only way to make it safe. I've been checked in a similar fashion, but as I was only a teenybopper last time I played hockey my face was nowhere near the box wall.
There is no legal case to be answered there, it was a sporting incident. Nothing more.

Ford made a fantastic little engine with their 1.8 N/A diesel. With nothing but tick over it was able to pull Vanessa up a rutted hilly dirt track. DIESEL POWA!
Can you tell I had nothing to do today?

It is a 1992 Surf, so has IFS rather than the shitty solid axle as found on the 80's surf, which was fine for low speed driving, but once you go over 12 it became twitchy and put a lot of people into a ditch (mostly in America though, which says a lot). The biggest change I need to do is either LSD all round or selectable lockers. Open diff is shit when everywhere is icy.
But try not to forget that the Surf is named after the type of person Toyota thought would use it. Surfers, IFS is better when dune hopping than a solid axle. Which is why a Trophy truck would run IFS.
And I suspect the lift and angry tyres was a list of things I need to do, not what has been done to it.

A lower car would generate more down force so increase fuel use, so I'd say your driving had more to do with it. Unless your car has a really bizarre aero package so the increased pressure under the car forced it to lift as such lowering fuel use.
True enough, but I have to remember to flick the switch from soft to hard when I get on a sealed road or it is like being in a boat. It crashes about like no ones business when I hit the dirt track in hard mode too, worse than the van. But I don't have to worry about breaking anything which is nice, because I have already cracked another down pipe on said van.
Took a while to get used to the PAS. My van has no PAS, on the Hilux it is extremely light.
There are cleaner examples in the world (the chrome bits all need to be referb'd and/or replaced), but no rust on the important bits. It is lovely on these roads though, as they are rutted dirt tracks.

Blam bitches, my 2 car *ahem* garage.
It is just air being forced through a narrow space under pressure. For the same reason puckering your lips and blowing makes a whistle noise. Air under pressure makes a sound, depending on what it is passing through decides on the noise it makes.
Eww, if you're going to drive an ugly car it should at least be RWD so you can get some oppo on. Else you're only hurting yourself.
The best way round that with Ford diesels is to replace the exhaust manifold so you can use cheaper or bigger turbos, the standard exhaust manifold has a turbo cast into it, which makes replacing the turbo very costly, a few bob (about what you'd spend on a genuine replacement) and you have a pic'n'mix setup. Much nicer all round.
RWD bitches, slam the slag and chuck on some allows. Knickers will be thrown in your general direction.
Of course not, where I used to live (S****horpe, North Lincolnshire) crime rate was around 60%, spent most of its time on fire, cars were regularly vandalised, broken into, stolen and/or torched. Insurance was naturally high.
Where I work now, the crime rate is around 3% and where I live crime rate is around .2%, I live so far off the beaten track that I'm more likely to wake up to find a sheep has broken into my car than a person. But because I am so far off the beaten track my insurance is a touch higher than if I moved to a town up the road where it is around £100 cheaper but crime rate is around 1%.
I got a luxo barge for a first car as it cost as much to insure as a Corsa. Never crashed it. Some tart hit me with her shopping trolley at ASDA though, which was the only mark on it the whole time I owned it.
Age doesn't mean better though. You get to a natural point where your reactions drop to almost zero, some of the customers in my shop are 70+ and they couldn't operate a invalid carriage safely, one lady has such slow reactions if you drop a feather it'll hit the floor before she reacts to try and catch it, but can still legally drive. They get lower premiums because they are older which must mean "safer".
To be fair, a lot of scouts are using YouTube now. A couple of years back a lassy on YouTube was offered a job by the BBC because they liked her work. She was only 17/18.
Fun fact, it is because of Femnazi's that this happened. They were bitching that women have to pay more for health insurance (not the NHS though, which makes everyone pay the same percentage of their earnings) than men. Wanting males and females to pay the same. But through their meddling they set the ball rolling for gender equality fights in other insurance industries and will now have to pay more for car insurance too. Personally it makes me laugh like a bastard.
[edit: Women statistically crash more often, but they are low speed impacts where the damage is so minor it rarely goes through insurance, but men write off more cars (a trend which in recent rears has been reversing, but rather than upping girls premiums, they upped boys and adults over 30 but under 50). Personally my only bump happened about 2 weeks after passing my test, misjudging where a wall was while reversing in a Transit at night and hit it with the bumper. Only damage was a small graze in the bumper.]

I recall JK saying something similar about the music industry in an interview (I think for The Independent). Pops starts are disposable items now to make some quick money for the industry, rather than a long term project.
I doubt any of the pop stars from the last 10 years will still be in the biss 10 years from now.
Just did a quick googley. Maybe we hate him because he is Canadian? Pop stars from America? Sure. Blightly? Why not? Australia? Can't hurt. But Canada? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
That is my theory anyway.

Who is this kid and why does everyone hate him so much?
What falls into your definition of proper bicycle?
Reminds me of something we did in uni. We had to write something about a person/type of person we don't like. Damn near all of them started with "I'm not racist but..."
