Worth gettin a turbo timer ??? I've considered a turbo timer and have been given a few +++, but i am still unsure if this is a luxury gadget or not. I had some good advice from ste360 but i'm still unsure if i'm gonna do a 100 notes on a digital display ???

I just drive the last mile or so home gently, and also while it gets tucked up in the garage, thats good enough for me!!

i have one set at 60 seconds although i do allow a short time before i turn of the ignition.i feel it allows for mistakes.as in when in a hurry to get out of the car.

I have one but rarely use it, just drive slowly before stopping. The only time it is useful is at motorway service stations.

The one in my car is set for a minimum of 10 seconds, but if the engine has been working hard then it increases that time. The most time I've seen it wait is about 3 minutes. Not strictly necessary, just take it easy for a couple of minutes before arriving at your destination.
