    Maybe they've already been testing out their budget brand over here for all these years???

    do they mean "brand" as UP, or do they want to make a new BRAND of cars for that?

    Are there any regulations regarding the size/gradient of speedbumps.An absolute monstrosity of one was "installed" yesterday in the industrial estate I work in. I got to discover it this morning at about 5:20am, no markings and the front of my car bottomed out when I tried to crawl over it and did a tiny bit of damage. :( :mad:

    Asked around in work, and I'm not the only one who has it found it a bit extreme.

    I had my Mazda airborn on one of those contrite speed bumps. They putted it up on a road with no markings or warnings...

    Same crack with Kilmessan, can't leave the centre of it without using a bridge... At least there's no railway line there, except as crash barriers :pac::pac::pac:

    Key jostling off things while driving?



    Also, driving a turbodiesel without the turbo is..... unthrilling. Wringing the neck of it just to keep up

    Don't know. It whistles up alright so it's spinning alright. And if it's spinning it's blowing....

    But, foot to the floor, the only thing it does is make the engine louder. The boost never cuts in. Starts fine. Idles fine. Pulls at low RPM the same as always. It never smokes. It never misfires. There's no idiot lights on the dash. it's just down on power.... like it's only going to half-throttle or something.

    Or it's not adding the fuel to match the boost.
