    Cars stationary with the ignition turned off? Surely can't be turbo related.

    Could still be turbo related Andy...all depends what the turbo was up to before you stop. They take a wee while to cool down if you've been out for a spirited thrash...!!!

    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
