[QUOTE="taylorkh, post: 646000, member: 44240"] Thanks Iansky, I agree with you about silver colored plastic. I recall several years ago I test drove one of the first convertible "new" Minis. Other than being HUGE compared to the original, it was covered from end to end, inside and out with chrome plated plastic. Absolutely revolting. I think I will work on mastering the D3400 first. And then perhaps a good telephoto lens. I need to save my toy money for a Caterham 7/Lotus 7. I am starting into week 4 of a battle with Toyota regarding my wife's new radar guided Corolla. It has a neat in concept "pre-collision " system which slows the car before a crash. However, it will also brake test a following vehicle when the radar detects something ahead - even when it is not in the travel lane or even on the road. The owner's manual has several pages describing what may cause the system to trigger inadvertently. I think all cars are moving in this direction. I want a car which goes where I tell it to go, not where IT thinks it should go. Of course my 1980 MGB goes where I tell it to go IF it wants to go :unconscious: Ken [/QUOTE]
