Indyzed Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Things keep getting worse for Toyota. Now it looks like they may of destroyed documents proving they knew about their problems. Oh boy. http://www.leftlanenews.com/documents-i ... -soon.html Quote
choptop Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Let's face it, if any Car Manufacturer can keep a problem quiet they will. Only when the cost of litigation and paying out for 'damages' exceeds the cost of putting the problem right will they ever do anything Quote
rtbiscuit Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 they denied all knowledge of their ever being a problem with the early 1zz engines and piston ring failure Quote
Waynerrr Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Does anyone else drop it down a gear when overtaking a Prius? Quote
mc Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Does anyone else drop it down a gear when overtaking a Prius? I do, just so they can hear what a real engine sounds like. Quote
R800NER Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 LOL, I have a prius for work and a 350z for play. Total opposites. One can go fast and stop fast. The other won't go fast and then doesn't stop! Quote
ATTAK Z Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Does anyone else drop it down a gear when overtaking a Prius? I drop down a gear when overtaking any car Quote
Smudge Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 LOL I never feel i have to! the car has plenty of go even at low range Quote
ATTAK Z Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 LOL I never feel i have to! the car has plenty of go even at low range On the motorway it's good to drop down 1, 2 or 3 gears just to make other drivers aware that you can .............. even though there's no need to Usually with a double de-clutch Quote
stanski Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Oh dont set me off on this one! All car makers have recalls all of the time I dont understand why the press have singled them out! To have the head of Toyota UK on the other night saying - dont panic and we are doing all we can, was cringeworthy. Then Head of Toyota Japan etc etc - cool it for goodness sakes talk about over kill! Now I hear Honda has a recall we so f***** what ! Good grief have we all become gay or something or is it that need to fill 24 hours of news on the TV again! You can bet the journalists are ferreting around to see it that recall on brake light bulbs failing on Vauxhalls will kill pedestrians at 50 paces! Did you get head of Bridgestone tyres or Ford saying sorry that their Explorer 4x4 can kill the drivers because the tread peels away from the tyre? Quote
ATTAK Z Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Did you get head of Bridgestone tyres or Ford saying sorry that their Explorer 4x4 can kill the drivers because the tread peels away from the tyre? I think that was Firestone Stan Quote

Smudge Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 LOL it's just obvious where all becoming a namby pamby nanny state, next everything will be covered in pillows! I heard a story that a winebego driver sued the company she bought it from in the states after SHE crashed it.. the excuse this is brilliant. when driving she engaged the cruise control then got up to make a cup of tea!!!! she said that the instructions for the vehicle didn't say she had to stay behind the wheel with the cruise CONTROL on! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Quote
geoff-r Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 LOL it's just obvious where all becoming a namby pamby nanny state, next everything will be covered in pillows! I'm all for the pillows, numerous times I've thought about sleeping at my desk in work, covered in pillows will be no problem! Quote
Waynerrr Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 LOL I never feel i have to! the car has plenty of go even at low range I only do it with Prius to rebalance the CO2 output. Quote
