  1. Seems to be fixed now. Please try again and tell me how it goes. And yes, it was an extraordinary challenge! Hey Milo, this one is fast enough, I think! Cheers AB

      Well, yeah. But this time, only limits... mine obviously!

  3. Hi there! Well, this is an old post, but I wanted to bring it back. I went to Germany and it turned out like this.... (use good headphones or speakers. Play it in HD if you can) Enjoy Cheers AB
  4. Hi guys, just another vision of race cars in the opossite side of the world. In Argentina we have TC2000 which is the most popular category in the country. Since 2012 changed to Super TC2000 due to upgraded the engines to 2.7L V8 producing now 430cv. This is the presentation of the TTA (Toyota Team Argentina) You will hear the difference between 2011 and 2012 with the new V8 engines. Enjoy.
  5. So what you should ask yourself is which features you like most. If you like the sat nav, the sunroof or leather, or prefer the looks or whatever, make the list and compare. The model that gives you more in that list is the lucky winner. I personally wouldn't buy a car to get the optionals later, because I know I won´t get them after... Cheers AB
  6. Anyone? Opinions? Anyway, I'm so excited that I'll get my first Okm car... Cheers AB
  7. Hi everyone! It happens to be that I have a very good oportunity to buy a brand new Corolla with a 20% employee discount. So I investigated a little and I have 2 different versions I can order: Seg AT and XEi Pack AT Seg AT is top of the range here and XEi Pack is veeery close in accesories, but a lower price. Both models have the same engine, same gearbox, same leather interior, electric foldin mirrors, Led dashboard. These are the additionals that the Seg has above the XEi Pack - Hid - Rear view camera - "Wood" panels on the dashboard and doors - Electric seat - Heated mirrors - Rain sensor for wipers These rims: Price: 141.000 argentinian pesos Xei Pack AT Has these rims Price: 118000 argentinian pesos. (This is manual, I will go AT) So the question is, are the additional features worhy for 23000$??? (that represents the 19% of the XEi price) The only 2 things I gonna miss are the rain sensor (that I have today) and to have Hids. Which would you choose? Cheers AB
  8. Nah... Just to experience high speed driving (legally). If I want to do it in any other place would be ilegal. So, which would be the weapon of choice? Cheers AB
  9. Hi guys!. I'm planning to make a quick tour for Europe and one of the things I want to do is to drive the Autobahn in Germany and if possible a couple of laps in the Nürburgring. As you know there are some parts of the Autobahn where you can drive as fast as the traffic conditions allow it. This mean, noone on the road = no speed limit! So I've been investigating which car I would rent, but I found out that are limited up to 250km/h. Seems to be that cars have to be limitated to 250 by law. But do you know if is there any cars without the limiter? Which car would you go for? Cheers AB
  10. What was the discussion? Oh yes! the awfull design of new cars. Its very simple, being almost a driving instructor I can tell that you might be the perfect driver but you always have to learn about the car to drive it safely. When I was teaching my wife I was not only interested in her learning in how to drive, but to understand the car, the dimensions, how it moves and to "see" in her mind the parts she couldn´t see with the eyes. The result: she can drive from a small car to a large car, brand new or pretty old. This is because she pays attention to the limitations (including visibility, brake power and aceleration) and the advantages of the car. We drivers are not "plug and play" in the cars, we have to adapt. So if you have 30 yrs or so of experience, you´ll have a huge advantage in adaptation because you´ve driven cars with no ABS, no EBD, no assisted steering and drum brakes. Those, I think, had bad designs but thankfully we have today cars like the Corolla, safer and more reliable... If you dont like your car, dont struggle, sell it or trade it. You more than anybody know that to drive a car being afraid is a ticking bomb. Dont suffer and live long Cheers AB
  11. Hi!, and what about some carbon fibre style... The car is black, so... Cheers AB
