Toyota Vista and Repairing your car
I'm driving in the rain, and in front of me is this real slow car so while I'm watching the ducks crossing the road (no there weren't any real ducks, ...)
I'm driving behind a Toyota Vista, these things are pretty common in Tonga, but I hadn't realised two things (a) This vehicle went out of production (according to the WikiPedia accounts) circa 2003, and (b) Vista's alive and well in Tonga and Microsoft hasn't even released it yet?
REDMOND, Wash. — March 21, 2006 — Microsoft Corp. today confirmed that Windows Vista™, the next generation of the Windows® client operating system, is on target to go into broad consumer beta to approximately 2 million users in the second quarter of 2006. Microsoft is on track to complete the product this year, with business availability in November 2006 and broad consumer availability in January 2007.

But that wasn't the point of these meanderings.
We've had to take the cars in for repairs, tune-ups as cars invariably are used cars and very aged. The tip not to forget about taking your car in for repairs?
You always want to take the thing in with the fuel tank quite low. My dear sister-in-law was seeing her car all over Tongatapu (actually just Nuku'alofa area, but ...) while it was supposedly still in for repairs.
She got really ticked off when she saw a washing machine sticking out of the boot one fine afternoon. It didn't help that we spotted it some hours later outside a kalapu kava Tonga.
The lesson: it will be painful for you to take the vehicle for repairs with a full tank of fule, so don't.
