  1. Lovely colour and some good videos, when did they start making you wear helmets and santa pod?
  2. Thanks guys! Just used camera phone and Google did it's (stylised) thing. I do like the colours though.
  3. Unwrapped after the winter hibernation and a bit late getting the supra out this year. But took it for a blast this afternoon down some great back roads driving between 2nd and 3rd gear just around the turbo no2 kickin! Really getting those tyres warm! I forget how well the sequential setup works, pulls really well down the low end and doesn't give up until you hit the top boosting at 1bar. All this removed any doubt of ever selling it during the winter. Those Japanese really did make an amazing machine! Took a few photos & really must try and get some drone footage this year.
  4. Looks Great! Bet your really pleased but I bet you end up changing wheels. I did the same a few years back (respray original red) and after a while just felt the std 16 weren't doing it, so tried uk 17" and ended up with 18"gt7 volks. Like the stock though!
  5. Walked past you on way back from school on the corner of Christchurch drive. Didn't know any sups were up here ?
  6. I swapped my lights some years back now to brand new uk glass head lamps and have never had any problems. I didn't seal mine like yours with silicone but that also may be the cause, unless you can guarantee there is no moisture in the air when fitting the bulbs you may have inivertantly trapped moisture within the lamp hence causing the droplets on the inside of the glass. I may be wrong but I have not heard of using silicone to seal the bulbs in as its pretty well splash proof behind there anyway. Only my thoughts!
  7. The bag is in the boot so I'll find out for you can't think what the make was
  8. Peter you must live about 11 miles from your mot station, that's got to be a record! I thought 279 miles was low a few years back. Nice spot Carl a few flight cases in the background, we do more outdoor event jobs Public Adress & CCTV etc but the space comes in reall handy this time of year. Thanks Dnk I'll have to have a get the Geo looked at, CW is local so might give him a call although he will say "told you so" Thanks for your comments guys, Ashloys I bet the driver of the Nissan told all his mates later. I was raging thinking the same Shawnpreece it used to be my daily car so did about 250 a week but you must have filled up at least 4 times that week?
  9. Wrapped her up today and took a few pics after a good clean. Managed to get a massive 1,162 Miles use this year, sorry but I'm blaiming bad weather and two young kids, although we did get a day out in the supra, 4 up and a push chair in the boot! Few jobs for next year: Try and get a better suspension setup, it's handles awful now on 18's compared to my old 16's. Wet weather! forget it. A Disco 4 dropped me at the lights a few weeks back whilst I the rears danced about. Any recommendations ? Look after your sup this winter, sad to see them when they get caught out in the ice.
  10. I am in Shrewsbury, I did use mine every day since 2004, loved it! But I needed to get a family car (estate) which has become the daily, I kept the supra as I couldn't bring myself to sell up. Spends the winter inside but try and get some miles on in the summer. What wheels and suspension have you got on ? I put 18" gt7's on last year and have to say it's not as gooder ride as the 16"
  11. Good to see them on the road I was nearly out in mine but needed a boot!
  12. Passed me on the M54 yesterday heading west from J5. I was in grey 300c estate. Looked pretty low!
  13. Thanks, I think the wings looked hotter either because of the shut lines left an area for the heat to escape or the difference between the alloy bonnet and steel wings, plus the bonnet has the sound deadening material under it, who knows but I thought it did look pretty cool. Time for some more testing
