    forward wind to 2 mins 47... and then just try not to be shocked.

    i tried hard not to be shocked.. or jealous...

    but man... MAN... I have to remove my cap on this one.

    I'm blown away!

    (and the translation subtitles made me laugh.. ONCE i'd stopped biting my lips)

    I think Toyota had one of these but it was shut down due to safety issues.

    VW tend to pour alot of money into these kinda things. Hence how their engines are renowned for reliability, extensive research etc.

    If I had to drive round the world, it'd be in a Toyota, not a VW!

    But the premise of the scale of the operation in that video are aweinspring.

    Good on Hans if thats his girlfriend!
    I thought the same.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Hmm, quick google and around the equator is only 25K miles. Not that far really, though my Alfa would require a service half way round but even at 10 years old I think it would happily make that
