Re: Got my A55! My first Impressions....

First question - How log to get an initial GPS lock (meaning after you've moved quit some miles form the last time it was turned on, or the very first time it was ever turned on), and how long to get a GPS lock after it's been turned off and back on in more or less the same area (say a few blocks o...

Re: A55 etc UK launch

I just got this from amazon.co.uk I've searched our catalogue, but the item you asked about is not currently listed. However, I have checked our records and can confirm that we still have not received any update regarding this item from our suppliers. However, we are constantly adding to our catalog...

Re: A55 etc UK launch

Thanks David! I have been scouring the internet for a while now and couldn't find a solid release date! I cant wait to get my hands on an A55! I have been looking to upgrade my A300 for over a year now (I started with the awesome A100!) and the A55 ticks so many boxes for me! 16mp Cmos, Lower ISO no...

Trouble is I think you may get some C02 emissions still... if you know what I mean.
Puts a whole new meaning to the term 'Tail Wind' :lol:

Re: a300, My first impressions :)

Ah the Mazda 2! that I do like! I saw a green one parked up the other day and found its styling to be less severe and more pleasing to the eye than that of the Fiesta's. The Zetec Engine was superb! the one in the old Zetec-S (same Phaze 2 one I had) was apparently built by Yamaha! so probably expla...

Re: a300, My first impressions :)

The new Fiesta is already ugly, :lol: I saw one parked up the other day and almost lost my lunch. (ok perhaps not that bad!) But again, I can see why you like these quirky hatchback cars! Must be a relief to see a car that breaks the mould for you guys. Personally I'm tired of seeing hatchbacks now ...

Re: a300, My first impressions :)

:lol: Don't mind us, were just a couple of car nuts! I have to admit, the US really do get some watered down looking cars! I was looking at your version of the Ford Focus... it looks terrible! The best car though to come from America..... is my favorite car in the world... the Dodge Viper GTS-R! stu...

Re: a300, My first impressions :)

Oh right ok..... wish they would just stick to the same names and save us the confusion :D The Accord though... I agree, I too am yet to be disappointed in the styling department. The Accord Euro Type-R..... another Type-R I would love to get my hands on! http://honda-type-r.com/photo/honda-accord-e...

Re: a300, My first impressions :)

Ooh, excellent framing on that one! Why is it cars can get away with inclined photos like that? Unfortunately, while I would love to own one of these gorgeous cars, the Mazda MX-5 tempts me more. My wife needs a new car soon and it'll be either that or a Scion tC (a real chunk of a car!). My sister...
