No well not as of late. Construction is being done on my road and the roads have gotten a bit bumpy. Well I doubt the engine has been tampered with cause it was sent for a full AA Inspection and passed with flying colours (Thats what I was told and the AA sticker is on my car atm)

well I dont know if you Notice but the car has as of such "Never had the O-rings opened" when i got it.. can see the engine hasnt been "opened" and when i first got it it did feel like a brand new engine. Now it feels like the engine has been raced with (mainly cause I sometimes redline the engine twice a week and shortshift on standard gearbox (guilty as charged) and the engine has a completely different tone

Is it possible to manipulate the Mileage.. service books do tie up the mileage as I had done the second service.. first service was done by Toyota themselves...

Mind me being a chatty box.. This is the first car I have ever owned in my life and im still learning to drive with it..
