Congrats Big Kev must admit I have to use the Google Chrome translator to understand your posts!!!!! 4 stars and 4000 posts that is a milestone. Yes I,m still poseing around the Isle of Man in the TT( Audi that is) Regards Clare

Hi Guys, Thank you for the birthday wishes, sorry I did not reply earlier but have been across in the UK camping. Still got the TT and loving it, probably wear off in 12 months time.I do still come on the forum to see what you are all up to,still one of the best around. Thanks once again Clare PS Good to see DaveM,s back in tow again!!!!!

Would imagine this so called Hybrid-mule is the forerunner to the "baby Lexus SUV".Apparently built on the under-pinnings of the current 4.4 Rav4.

When we went into the reasoning for Toyota stopping the U/C in the Uk, awhile ago we concluded that it was basically down to poor sales. It never ever caught on in the Uk market, which was a crying shame.The other theory mutted was that the U/C was built on the under-pinnings of the previuos gen Yaris, but this would seem not true as Toyota are still selling the U/C in Europe.HTH Clare

Agree Davrav,just as you say "the Rav4 has morphed into a glorifyed Auris" Clare

Congrats Gordon,a wise move from a Girl who has moved on from her U/C to the darker side!!!!!!! Yes finally parted with the U/C for the car I have always wanted since i learn,t to drive a few decades ago.It is a awd and is a 2ltr Diesel and it is made by the VAG group.It is a Audi TT Coupe, and I love it.So sorry i have left the Toyota family but I really wanted this one, and I wasn,t prepared to take a massive hit on the U/C ( which I didn,t). But you don,t get shut of me so quickly as I still regard myself as part of the Rav4 gang on this Forum.(awaiting the comments). Sorry to but-in on your thread Gordon hope you really enjoy the Rav. Regards Clare

Jim, don,t you mean Wigan (pier)? and lets not forget the Famous Casino ( Northern Soul) Regards Clare

Lovely looking 3door Rav, Big Kev. Your "better" half certainly does a excellent job in keeping it up to specc.Does Mrs Kev keep the SR in such good nick as well? Us ladies have to keep together!!!!!! Regards Clare

Looks like Autocar beat Autoexpress to it.Cheers Dave for taking time for the write up. Regards Clare

At last a good move on Toyota UK, part.Interesting if it will be a "pay for option"as my Dad has just got a Yeti and it is a PFO on that model. If added at time of order £85, if bought as Aftermart it is £250. Regards Clare

Happy Birthday Blue

Just got this weeks issue 20/26 Feb no 1256, and in next weeks issue there is a Toyota Rav4 first drive.To quote " Our verdict as we get behind wheel of bigger,bolder and better- quality SUV". Should be worth a read ( can,t wait). Would think this is one of the first reviews of the new Rav, so we will see!!!!! Regards Clare

Hi Catboy, as long as you do both axles (both back or both fronts) you should be OK.Will probably source them a lot cheaper as well. Regards Clare

Belated Happy Birthday,Kev. Hope you had a gud one!!!! Regards Clare and Her Dad.

Have to agree with Don on this one. Regards Clare
