    It really is a non issue - he's probably critical of the speedo on Porsche 911 and a Rolls Royce as well - great to be critical when you'll never own the damned thing!

    True, it doesn't - but I drove one this morning, and I really don't see what all the crying is all about!

    I was not saying Haldex had a valid point

    Ouch!
    So I couldn't wait and I went for lunch to check out the models on the show floor. The seating is so low I can imagine it's go-cart like. I'll give some feedback when I've had my test drive on Saturday.
    Soos 'n choppie op die vuur.

    GReddy has a racing/drifting Subaru Scion they slotted a Cosworth tuned 450kW+ WRX STi motor into. I'm sure it'll put a smile or absolute terror on your face

    Some knuckleheads will probably do this to their street cars soon.
