    Whats next for you then?

    Z4. 

    After more than four years in the 'edgy' Toyota, a somewhat more relaxed and refined waft-mobile is in order. The Zed's no drivers car, but it's fun and I've missed having a droptop. It's the 3 litre twin turbo with 7-speed DCT (sDrive 35i).

    Hi 

    Seem to he limited on image quality/size.

    Depends how you define daily driver. I've had mine from new, 4.1/2 years and 56,000 miles - great daily driver for me. I'm single, rarely have passengers and have just a ten mile each way 'commute' through lanes and B roads.

    Not a fan of Audi full stop, so can't offer opinion on what I perceive to be an overpriced dull barge.

    Full disclosure; just over a thousand miles ago the engine seized. This is not bad news - new short engine fitted by Toyota under warranty! 
    While the engine was out I took advantage of the situation and had a new clutch fitted, new spark plugs and new battery. This was a massive saving in labour costs for me, and a nice bonus for the next owner. Run-in complete and it's running sweet as ever.

    Perhaps he's changed his mind, but when I had my first remap by Adrian he said it isn't feasible to have proper pops and bangs. I assume it was because I had cats and to get pops and bangs fuelling would be so far from 'optimal' and possibly damage the cats. That's not what he said, it's what I assumed.

    Catless would be different.

    My Griff pre-cat was epic with 'minimal' silencing or straight-through. Foot long flames, pops, bangs and crackles - sounded like a machine gun sometimes. But that's a 4.3 litre V8 with no cats and one of Clive's 'special' manifolds. Happy times. B)
