fuel leak
is the fuel pressure regulator prone for pi$$in petrol out the pipe that leads from the bottom of it? mine seems to spray out loads on start up for about 20 seconds then stops, im pretty sure its coming out the metal pipe that fits inside it, rather than the pipe that joins the rubber hose, but it is hard to tell.

Rotary Engines
i would say servicing cost and reliability is the major concerns, but in terms of efficiency they are able to produce a lot of power from a small capacity, but they are very thirsty in the process.

What's the crappiest 'Daily drive' on here?
lurvly G reg white nissan micra, with brown interior, electric nothing, 4 speed, with dodgy 3rd, saisho cassette player that only tunes to 1 station and chews tapes up, 1 speaker, no passenger side wing mirror, 4 bald tires, but does do about 45 mpg, it also makes me appreciate the zed even more tho when i get back in it.:dance:

climate control
yeah must be the strangest setup up ever, great for when its summer and blast out icey cold air, but can i get any heat out of the damn thing, at normal running temp i set it to 25 and its blowing like mad and nothing comes out any vents, if i turn the defogger on it blows lovely hot air over the windscreen tho. then sometimes it will blow out the front vents but it has got a mind of its own.

Is this a grandad-mobile ?
i really like soarers, there a powerfull, big comfortable motor, i almost went for one over the zed, and as u say build quality is excellent and toyota engines are sweet. but back on topic i dont see as a 2.5 tt as a grandad mobile, ok so it wont turn as many heads as the zed will, but with that lump under the bonnet who cares.

How much room in back of 2+2 Zed?
my mates tend to tell me its feels very claustrophobic in the back, and cant wait to get out, i think its the lack of ventilation and the tiny little windows that does it. but ive carried 3 6 foot odd mates in the back on the pub trip, it kinda gets one of those funny stares when 5 huge blokes get out this tiny interiored car.:rofl:

DVD Copying
even easier is a program called dvd shrink and its free, u can compress diferent bits of the film at diferent ratios, rip out unwanted audio tracks and decrypt on the fly. very high quality output too. obviously this is only to be used with dvds u own the copyright too as anything else would be highly illegal. but we all new that.:dance:

NZR: AMD Athlon XP MHz ratings
then on top of that youve got the new Barton core xp cpus with more onboard cache memory 512k instead of 256 and a diferent mhz rating as well. for example a xp 2500 barton core runs at 1833 mhz which is a slower clock speed than say a 2400 (thoroughbred) that runs at 2000 but they use 166 front side bus as opposed to thorobreds and the increased cache memory improves repetive instruction operation. so they get a higher xp rating. but they can prove slower in some apps such as video encoding and gaming where instructions are constantly changing just get the fastest you can afford and u cant really go wrong, for normal windows apps a xp2200 should suffice, only go for higher ratings if your doing anything cpu intensive

falken tyres
had my falk 451's on for nearly a year now, hardly any wear and very good grip, but they will spin in the wet but im sure any tyre will, full set of 18's came in at 500 quid so pretty reasonable i think for the performance they offer.
