  1. 3 minutes - idle drops twice

    Mine drops from 1200 ish cold start to around 700, then it idles rock steady at 630.
  2. Where manuals at? (I'm angry all the time)

    Quite a few of our cops are under investigation for dodgy stuff on their issue I Pads and phones. It seems the spare hand is not for the screen. I believe there's been a directive that testicular adjustments must not exceed 15 seconds.
  3. Quiet mode feature during remote start

    It is. Very nicely done. It's a coupe with the traditional, for NZ, Jag diff and rear susp. Paid $NZ110,000.
  4. richers I'm tellin ya

    I got fired for not cutting my hair. It was '68, and I was earning $16 a week:like:
  5. Quiet mode feature during remote start

    It's always a plus if there's a noisier neighbour or two. I have a '32 Ford/351 and a boi racer Altezza two doors way each side. I'm the good guy.
  6. Almost no love for the Ecoboost

    I haven't driven an EB. But, as a comparison, my last car was an smallish SUV with 300hp through a 7 sp DSG and AWD and did not feel slow at all. (4.7 to 100kmh) So I can imagine another 40 or 50hp plus more torque in a similar weight car with RWD won't be lacking in zip. But, I fell for the...
  7. Quiet mode feature during remote start

    I have it set to 0600 - 0800 and it seems to start quietly from the off.
  8. Do 4 new tires require an alignment

    I had an alignment guy like that. More 30 than 80, but absolutely OCD with his alignments. Totally agree with checking pressures. I love the pressure display, it matches my gauge exactly, but I still manually check them every 2 weeks or so.
  9. I wave the white flag; time for a new Mustang

    I'm even less likely to get into that.
  10. Supercars

    Yep, a Supra won one race at Taupo, first time in the series and and driven by a Kiwi. But there's an awful lot of blue at the top of the standings. GM is getting a hard time
  11. Do 4 new tires require an alignment

    Can you see the belts inside the gash? If so, replace it asap. If not, it's up to you, but I would not drive on it. PS I have not had an alignment on any car since I hit a pothole, stuffed a tyre and bent the rim. I just check wear patterns reasonbly often.
  12. I wave the white flag; time for a new Mustang

    The old lease v buy conundrum. The end is the same.
  13. OEM Brake Pads

    Kind of related, I gave the car a quick post trip wash and just used Duraseal wheel cleaner and waterblaster instead of a full scrub. I was amazed how well the wheels cleaned up. I've also noticed that they don't show the dust as bad as other cars I've had.
  14. Do 4 new tires require an alignment

    Depending on wear differential, I would replace just that tyre if money was short, or else do both. If they're all down to 3mm or so I'd do all 4. "They" say to do an alignment, I tend to look at wear patterns then decide.
  15. Women (and/or your libido) ruin everything

    Well, I'm 73 and it's getting weirder by the day.
  16. Supercars

    Is this watched at all outside the Antipodes? It's basically a tightly controlled formula with power (600hp I believe), weight limits etc.
  17. Women (and/or your libido) ruin everything

    My wife wanted the Mustang almost as much as me 🤩 😍😍😍😍😍
  18. So this just happened ☹️

    It means no more waxing for me. That's quite necessary now.
  19. Coyote/S650 Derangement Syndrome

    Old people? Young whippersnapper:wink:
  20. Coyote/S650 Derangement Syndrome

    OK, you went full nuclear on the grammar thing. And few ballistic punctuation missiles thrown in. I give up, don't shoot✋🤚 You seem to be angry for some reason, I'm just enjoying the banter. This is quite a cool place if you don't take yourself too seriously.
