Except for the stonking big wheels and brakes. The noise it makes turns heads though.

Went for a spin in this ute yesterday and it is awesome. Real neck snapping power. So linear and just keeps pulling. Sounds unbelievable as well. Here is the dyno sheet.

So there's this guy who meets a girl in a bar. They talk most of the night and arrange to get together the next night for a date. He tells her he'll come by about 7:00pm on his motorcycle that he's buying tomorrow. So, he goes and buys this bike, but it's an older bike. The guy he's buying it from tells him to get some Vaseline to put on the points when it rains to keep them from rusting. So he stops at the drugstore on the way to this girl's house and gets some Vaseline. He gets to the girl's house and is invited in to dinner with her parents and younger sister. His date tells him "We have a rule in this house. Whoever talks first at dinner has to do ALL the dishes." He looks around and there are dishes piled EVERYWHERE, ceiling to floor, new dishes in the shelves cause they buy new ones because no one has talked at dinner for several years. He's thinking "Damn. I gotta make somebody talk, or I'm gonna get stuck doing all these dishes." They get to the dinner table and he's trying to think of how to make somebody talk. So, he leans over and starts kissing his date. Her dad sees this and is obviously annoyed, but doesn't say a word. Seeing this isn't working, the guy starts French-kissing her at the table. Dad's really annoyed now, but still doesn't say anything. He's thinkin, "Hmmm. Try something else." So he grabs his date's Mom and starts fondling her breasts. Dad's mad as HELL now, but still doesn't say anything. He starts looking around the room trying to find his shotgun ... still not a word, though. Just then, there's is a big clap of thunder outside. The guy remembers the points on his bike and it's about to rain. He jumps up and grabs the Vaseline. Moving towards the door, he accidently makes eye contact with the Dad. Dad's eyes get big, and he stands up and says, "ALRIGHT!!! I'll do the damn dishes."

A Frenchman and an Italian were seated next to an Australian on an overseas flight. After a few cocktails, the men began discussing their home lives. "Last night, I made love to my wife four times," the Frenchman bragged, "and this morning she made me delicious crepes and she told me how much she adored me." "Ah, last night I made love to my wife six times," the Italian responded, "and this morning she made me a wonderful omelet and told me she could never love another man." When the Australian remained silent, the Frenchman smugly asked: "And how many times did you make love to your wife last night?" "Once," he replied. "Only once?" the Italian arrogantly snorted. "And what did she say to you this morning?" "Don't stop."

Looks like the fuel economy is getting better with a few more k's on the clock (still only just over a 1000k's) with computer dropping to 9l/100k. Hopefully will get to the figures you guys are getting.

Our latest Camry (of three) is the new model Grande and is the best one we have had. Just went away with the family for a week and the boot took all our stuff including two boogie boards and skim board and still had room left. Really impressed with the engine. I have yet to see the fuel usage (on the computer) drop below 10.4 litres per 100 klms but she was fully loaded with 4 people and the boot full at 110 kph so I'm still happy enough with it. Pretty happy with all the Camry's and Corollas I have had so will stick with Toyota whilst they still offer these sorts of cars with good safety and features for the money. There is nothing my Grande does not have compared to my sisters new $75k BMW.

Do you think the new upgrade will give us red light and fixed speed camera details ? This has peed me off that it does not do it now.

I know what you mean BB wanted a hole in the roof since I was 17 now as an old f4rt finally got one so would be hard not to keep going with it in new cars. Typing this on my sons Wii so it is time consum8ng but fun at the same time. Getting fast with my aiming now. Cheers.

I got the Grande for $36'990 on the road with tint and boot protector so for what it has in it way better value than Aurion. Aircon is great very good wife can't complain about being to cold now . Leather is good quality better than Rolla Sportivo. I still have the Sportivo for power and fun so happy with the 4 in the Camry it is much better than the 2001 we traded.

My new hole. I really like the moon roof. Now I will need to get one with all my new cars.

Drove into the work car park on Monday to see a nice red TRD Aurion in there and parked next to it. Tracked down who owns it so will be pestering him soon to get a ride. Only thing is I start holidays today so it will have to wait a month. He traded in an SS Commodore for it and said he likes it much better then he ever liked the commodore.

Cheers for the toast MT! How was i runnig against the WRX??? And did my ride look ok?? Your ride looked nice especially the personalised plates. Your car was going very well (too well for me a wimpy Sportivo driver to keep up).

They only work when you are in reverse. In terms of the Sat Nav question (assuming it is the same as in my new Camry Grande). Yes it does have options for Toll Roads, Ferries etc (about 6 or so options). It does not provide info on fixed speed or red light cameras (I wish it did). The blue tooth connection works when you are driving. There is answer and hang up buttons on the steering wheel.

The sat nav is really good and very easy to use. The Nokia 6300 blue tooth connection was easy as and works really well. Picks up the phone from about 10 metres from the car. Only thing on the sat nav is that it does not seem to have the fixed speed or red light camera notification which seems pretty standard even on a $400 plug in sat nav. Also the map is one dimensional and does not point in the real direction of travel which can be confusing. Don't know if you can change the settings for this. When you come to a major intersection it does an auto split screen thing to show the intersection in detail so you know where you are going and what lane / exit. But the best thing is the moonroof. I though I would like it but I really really like it. Sorry can't post up photos as my Album states it is full but also won't let me delete old photos I want to get rid of. Anyone help with this. ? It seems to have much better power than the 2001 Camry we traded in and also goes around corners much better. coming from a wide body I though the 2001 handled pretty well but the 2007 is sooo much better. Not up to my Corolla Sportivo but not far off it for such a big car. Spent a couple of hours cleaning it on the week end as the pre delivery from Toyota was so slack. Opened the moonroof and it was as dirty as. Also there is a ding in the roof (from the inside out) which must have been put there in the factory as there is no other way it could have happened. This really pee ' d me off and hopefully they can do a paintless dent removal job on it. From a loyal Toyota buyer (at least 6 brand new) I am not very happy about this at all and Toyota really need to pull their socks up and start doing some audits of their dealer network and their build quality checks. this should never have left the factory like this. But overall so far happy but this may change depending on what they do with the dent.

Never mind. Just did another search and this time found the exact question and answer. Got to love the experience of this site. Thanks for reading anyway

Picked up the Grande on friday and it is really good value for what it has. I have been in a few customers Lexus and i think this is on par internally with them. Have not posted up photos yet as the wife always had it out then it rained and got dirty so will clean and post up later. Hav a question about Sat Nav in the Audio thread. So if you know about this system can you please read and help me out.

Looking to buy my wife a new cheap mobile that will connect to the car via in built blue tooth. Nokia 6300 looks the goods at $199. But does any one know if it will connect as: Toyota states * Bluetooth™ will only operate with telephones enabled with compatible Bluetooth™ wireless technology (HFP (Hands Free Profile) v1.0 and OPP (Object Push Profile) v1.1 international standards). Nokia phone is Bluetooth version 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate (includes SIM access and Headset and Handsfree profiles) and stereo support for headsets Local and remote device-to-device data synchronisation with SyncML (calendar, to-do list, phonebook)

Not too sure about carting around an extra 30 kgs all the time as opposed to some evaporation in the tank. So for me I would not be running around with at least a half a tank. Also when you use your whole tank you can usually spread it out between fuel price drops.

Why Men don't write advice comments. Dear Walter: I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in the bedroom with a neighbor lady making mad passionate love to her. I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that he'd been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. I don't feel I can get through to him anymore. Can you please help? Sincerely, Mrs. Sheila Usk Dear Sheila: A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the jubilee clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber. I hope this helps. Walter

After all the investigation and shopping around I have purchased a new Camry Grande and picking it up friday. I can not wait to play with all the electonic gadgets. With the current drive away price it wasn't worth getting the Ateva with a sun roof. Ended up with a really good price and change over from my Camry 2001 CSi. Will post up pics after the weekend.

I am picking up my sunroof on friday. Only thing is I didn't put it in the Sportivo I have just brought a brand new Camry Grande as a second car. Still keeping the Sportivo 'cause its sex on wheels.

The family is sitting at the dinner table. The son asks his father, 'Dad, how many kinds of boobies are there?' The father, surprised, answers, 'Well son, there's three kinds of breasts, In her twenties, a woman's breasts are like melons, round & firm, In her thirties & forties, they are like pears, still nice, but hanging a bit, After fifty, they are like onions.' 'Onions?' 'Yes, you see them, and they make you cry.' This infuriated his wife and daughter so the daughter says, 'Mom, how many types of 'willies' are there?' The mother, surprised, smiles and answers, 'Well dear, a man goes through three phases. In his twenties, his willie is like an oak tree, mighty and hard, In his thirties & forties, it's like a birch tree, flexible but reliable, After his fifties, it is like a Christmas tree.' 'A Christmas tree?' 'Yes dear, dead from the root up and the balls are for decoration only.'

Grandma and Grandpa were watching a religious healing program on tv. The evangelist called to all who wanted to be healed, to put one hand on the tv and the other on the body part they wanted healed. Grandma hobbled to the tv and put one hand on the tv and the other on her arthritic hip. Grandpa made his way to the set and put one hand on the tv and the other on his crotch. Grandma looked at him with disgust: You just don't understand, you old coot. the purpose of this program is to heal the sick, not raise the dead!
