engine techies; I've heard that on direct injection diesals that if you run out of fuel and start having the injectors pump air through, this can destroy the injectors, leading to a heft repair bill. Is this true of direct petrol injection engines?

Could be 2 things at play, either the air in the injectors actually combusting with remaining fuel, or lack of the lubrication from the fuel.

Either way, a petrol injector would be more resiliant since a flame front has a harder time reaching places than a pressure increase, and a petrol injector must cope with petrol, which is not a good lubricant.

That said, I dunno, other than that running out in a normal diesel (all "direct injection" in a way), isn't instant failure time.

sorry mate,

Wont park next to you in future..

This guy = a ferrari.

Oooo the Mid Life Crisis version - I like it. 4 seats too so can even fit the kids.

My old man works for Astons, said all the employees were shown the neww 177, nothing even touches it in his opinion.

The latest V8 Vantage is very very nice, he got taken round the test track and on the bank they clocked 164mph with him and the test driver in it. He had said about the V12 Vantage the other day.

A Ferrari California! Ohh, I like the look of those even though I can't afford the £143,000 one costs.

Lovely car but the front end looks to be ripped off of one of these really:

The front lights remind me of those off of the Nissan GT-R, although a very nice car in it's own right, I wouldn't want my Ferrari to look like a Nissan. they also look a bit cheap and nasty in that chrome finish.

I don't like the rear lights or the chavtastic bonnet scoop either but that's just my pov.

Now these to me are really pretty cars, the obvious thing here is each to their own etc etc.

The Lambo Murcielago LP 670-4 Superveloce, which I believe to be that last time we'll see the Murcielago. I recon I heard somewhere that it will be replaced with an all new model.


And the Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16m


These to me are beautiful cars
