Hello Everyone!
The events of a really bad day have been the spur I needed to get off my backside and say hello on here!
Bought myself a very nice silver UK spec supra about 5 weeks ago. It's everything I ever dreamed it would be since I first saw one 6 years ago and decided it was the car for me. Will get some pics up when I've cleaned it up a bit (*ahem* - oops...).
Now to the bad news and some thanks. I had a blow out on the drivers side front tyre today on my way home from work along the M27. I want to say a thank you to both of the mkIV Supra drivers who stopped to offer help. If they're on here it was a great comfort in my time of need! :) Fingers crossed I will never need to return the favour.
However, a quick trip on the back of an AA low loader to the nearby Kwik-Fit soon had me back on the road, once they had replaced the tyre and inflated the other three. Some b*****d must have let them let them down... I reckon I was quite lucky not to come to serious harm but in all fairness to the car, all that happened was the ride got really bumpy when it blew. I had no problem controlling or manouvering at 70...
Phew, I feel a bit better for that rant! Hopefully, everything I post from now on will be more positive.

P.S. Did I mention that I didn't have the key for the locking wheel nut with me? Doh! Won't be making that mistake again.
