so save up to fix the engine if you car has it.
If you start up the engine and hear some ticking sounds somewhere inside the engine bay,
you got to becareful and need to get this problem sort out asap, if you ignore the sound, if could end up blowing up the engine and need to replace one third of the engine parts.

I will try to get you guys more info on this later

Mine had this ticking sound and it did not go away with warm engine. They replaced my hydraulic valve lifter with an improved design and now the ticking is gone. There's a SIB out for this ticking valve problem. They covered mine under CPO warranty otherwise it would have been a USD 2500 expense.

I test drove the previa again 2nd time. it actually drives better than a q7, believe it or not. interestingly, I was pushed by a previa yesterday, this is the 2nd time in the past couple of months. might be I should go for a previa and go push the bimmers off the highway

I drive rather aggressively/dangerously when I was young, we all have walked through that door, wild time don't last long when there are more burdens on your shoulders.
been there, done it. my wife actually complained my driving was slow. silly woman!

trust me mate, I have been down the same path. even with all our family and work commitments, the first pirority is 'look after yourself', otherwise, you wont be able to look after your love ones. this is highlighted in the 3p course, you can sign up free when your kid is 2 years old, highly recommended.

so join us in the next kart outing.

then join us in go-kart.
