A better choice for a diesel conversion must, surely, be the mark one Toyota

MR2?

Are there any dieselfied 4AGE engines though?! I`ve actually thought about

the 205 CTD conversion for quite a while i.e. find a CTi with a blown engine

(basically a 1.6GTi soft top) and then get a cheap intercooled 1.7TD from a

BX/405 and voila. But Nats daily mileage will be reducing in January so

it`s not as important to have a diesel any more. Of course, when I had my

205 XS (same engine as the CJ) I could average under 20mpg, so lets hope

it`s a bit better than that!!

Bloody hell, sub 20mpg from a 1.4. How did you manage that?

So to begin with, this is not real or augmented reality. It is a trickster

“…to automatically unlock/lock*3 the car door and start/stop the engine. Nissan and Sharp has now integrated these electronic intelligent-key, wireless communications and electromagnetic technologies into the new handset. ”

I have always been jealous of my friends that can start their cars from their key fobs, especially on those cold or hot days that could use some warming up or cooling down. Hopefully one day, I will be able to download my make and year of my car (and maybe some private registration info) to my cell phone and be able to access my car and other cool features from the palm of my hand.

Since this is a car blog, I want to post something that I will never forget. And this is Disney Pixar’s “Cars.”

Here are some scenes from “Cars” movie arranged to Rascal Flatt’s “Life is a Highway”.
