2JZG(T)E .. it's Toyotas in-line 6 cylinder engine, the GTE being the twin
turbo version, and the GE being normally aspirated. They use it in the Supra
MK-IV and I think 1 or 2 of the Lexus's

Oh. They didn't go far out of their way thinking of a snappy name for
it then :-) Like, say "Throbsome super-vroom sixpot" or something ?

I can imagine. Remember, I HAVE been in your passenger seat (once:-)

You'd better, or the leasing company will do it and send you t' bill.

It's the 3 litre straight 6 twin turbo motor if that's what yer mean.
I've heard something about them.. or I might've heard about a yank

Maybe a yank did, but the Jap guys do it at the factory.

The Aristo is a great business car too. It doesn't LOOK too "off", but it's
got a certain "one-offness" to it.

Cars like that don't do too well with someone with credit grief. They need
lots of spare cash just to keep the tank filled. Around 60 quid a week for
"average" driving. (That's close to 100 dollars for you Ami's) Then there's
the insurance (minimum group 19).
Can't you drive around in your Ibinez? :-))
