  1. Wrong SCP 90 is 1300 and KSP 90 is 1000
  2. Do you know if the local HTC place on Charles Drive might take a look at my Desire S (bought abroad) which strangely resets itself sometimes. It's just happened a couple of times but I can't figure out why.
  3. Hi cool nice to see some HTC fans. I'm using a Desire S. Thought of Incredible S but Gingerbread coupled with the aluminium unibody swayed me in the way of the Desire S. Sensation was just announced but not available for sale when I got the Desire S in late April. With regards to the HTC Sensation I would advise folks to not go for it as later this year HTC will be releasing 2 new devices with NFC technology coupled with 4G LTE roughly of the same price as the Sensation. Processor speeds, Cores, RAM, Video, will all be same if not better. There is also a chance that they may be bundled with Ice Cream Sandwich which would be awesome. But NFC is going to be amazing since the tech may come into banks and airports soon. Plus sharing between devices is gonna become so easy.
  4. From what I have gathered (by talking to a few people who are involved in the auto industry in Japan as well as trawling through the Japanese auto auctions) the most popular colours for cars in Japan are Silver and White, hence they are the most commonly available colours available at the auctions. Black is a fairly unpopular colour so there aren't that many available at the auctions. From there onwards it's a case of basic Supply and Demand. More white and silver available = lower price. Less black available = people bid higher so higher price. What I'm curious about is this strange colour that has made its way into Sri Lanka called 'Pearl White' now I've seen several of these so called 'Pear White' cars here and call me blind but I honestly don't see the difference from bog standard white to 'Pearl White'. Car sale guys now claim that Pearl White is more expensive than standard white. But curiously not a single car sale I've been to recently has 'White' cars they're all 'Pearl White' hmmm methinks a pattern emerges Now according to the Honda website they have a colour called 'Premium White Pearl' which is what they call their white Toyota has a colour called 'Super White' which is they call their white Sorry if this is out of topic but thought I would respond to a comment about white and silver and how car sale guys try to pull wool over people's eyes. Oh and don't even start about the ubiquitous 'Beige Interior'
  5. I just sold a TP12 and miss it big time. I had it for about 3.5 years and never had a gear box issue. From my understanding this legend of the faulty gearbox was created by people who used normal dextron 3 ATF as opposed to the correct NS1-CVT fluid which is what should be used. NS1 is quite expensive so people ignore the metal sticker on the ATF dipstick and use standard oil which damages the box I think this is where the legend springs from. The P12 is a beauty I personally love the styling and has very nice pulling power if it's a in good condition. The comfort level is very nice as well. However there seem to be a few cars which haven't been maintained that well so you would be well advised to get it checked through A*W & ALSO VERY IMPORTANT through a mechanic YOU TRUST who knows his stuff. I think for two mil you will be able to get one but would warn you to look very closely at the mechanics & electrics of anything going cheaper.
