A well sorted Linux install will thrash a BPU Windows setup every time!!!!!!

...where it did remarkably badly

I believe Ian "He seemed such a nice quiet man, said a stunned neighbour" Chisholm is our resident gun toting maniac in waiting. Just kidding Ian, please don't shoot me.

See the "'00 RSP VVTi 6sp" in my Sig.

Wow, that engine looks like new.

Cool. Come back and post some pics of the car on Friday. Good luck mate!

You'll be OK there mate, as long as you don't give it full throttle in top gear when you don't want it to kick down into third. Don't get me wrong Richy, they are really nice cars and the VVTi engine is excellent, I'm just trying to make sure you're going into this with all the facts. Just out of interest, did you notice if the Traction Control went into Snow Mode while you were driving it? A lot of mph converted VVTi Supras seem to have an issue with that too, although it's only a minor annoyance. Branners, Pete, et al, I presume yours do that too? (Can't remember if we've discussed this before/recently)

Yes mate, they still kick down. You're not in full control of the gears. You can make it shift up or down with the buttons but it won't blindly do what you tell it. If it needs to shift down it will and if you tell it to shift down when it thinks the revs are too high for a lower gear it will refuse to and will just beep at you. Have you driven the car you're buying yet Richy? You need to have a really good test drive of a tiptronic Supra to see if it really suits you. Apart from the kick-down issue I mentioned before, I dislike the harsh way they change down gears when you're steaming into a corner in Tiptronic mode.

It IS the same box as the auto. There is a problem with MPH converted Tiptronic Supras which is related to the gearbox though not actually a problem with the gearbox itself; MPH converted Tips have a nasty quirk which means that they will kick-down from top gear (4th) into third gear if you if you give it full throttle - even if you are doing 160mph at the time. --- Edit, Branners posted while I was writing the above, I see he's already covered some of what I was saying.

Good advert for how tough the ATC 2000 is! It fell off when the parachute opened and fell 1900 feet. 8JgHb0q7Bw

It's not a Skyline.

What do you mean?

Ouch? Give me the gist Carl? I'm at work, can't do too much searching about.

errrrm, I think you might have a problem finding that, Steve. I think it's in my garage, I found it the other day. Like a 18" rectangular plastic section with a vent in the middle? Goes under or behind the passenger glove box thing? I must've neglected to refit it when I did the heater matrix.

Yeah. That was a bad day. I thought Lee and Sarah were going to die when I saw the accident in progress.

Apart from the three tits presenting all those Top Gear repeats.

Scorpion, Just checking, are you aware of this car's history? I'm thinking of the "Dragonball 06" incident.

Sounds like Rosie has been mistakenly watching it on UK Gold/Dave.

WOOOHOOO!!! If prices continue to slump I might be able to upgrade.

I'll be honest with you, I love his music

Sorry to hear that

Dunno, but I shouldn't think it would be a problem contentwise. I wasn't aware they do a vidcast. I don't think my employer would be too keen on me watching videos at work anyway. Maybe I should go on strike?

I'll be very surprised, seeing as we've rented a private villa.
