  1. Certainly not a car for shy people. Most people in this club drive around in shiny Supras, and just occassionally fail to get noticed. No chance of being discreet in that.
  2. I wonder if Ferrari may use an opportunity for Massa to take out Alonso. Are they all evil, or is it just Schumi? I always thought Ross Brawn looks dodgy. Whatever, I am already looking forward to Alonsos home race next year, just bought the tickets. Come on Kimi, no wins for McLaren this season so far.
  3. Most of my friends and family live about 40 miles away, so cruising in the Soop is good for me, I just hate this rotten stormy weather, the car is filthy. I can understand the sleep preference, if my wife was left alone she would sleep all day.
  4. My motoring life certainly started humble; my first car was a Vauxhall Viva. Christ was it dreadful, drum brakes, knackered synchro, blah blah. At least life gets better, now I drive a Supra
  5. You not using the Supe much? I,ve been travelling A49 lots recently and not seen you about. You might have seen me in my other toy, dark blue Soarer.
  6. My first thought was "OMG someones nicked my car!" Shiny red L reg one today 5.45pm near Kington, I was an undercover Supra driver in my "Ian Jones Tyres" Sprinter van.
  7. I finished writing my speech on the morning of my wedding. The great thing about wedding speeches is that nobody is going to get up and seriously question you, I sometimes have to speak in meetings at work, and spend most of the time dealing with hecklers. Compliments for the bride, and good hearted ridicule for the best man. Have a great day
  8. You got a car or an email? If you arent fixed up yet give me a shout. Cheers from Carl
  9. Very interesting, kind of puts it all in perspective eh? We are very lucky to be born westerners. Enjoy it
  10. Hi all Saw a red UK TT on Autotrader (cant seem to post the link), anyway its in Cannock at £5995, just wondering if anyone knows anything about this particular car. The guy will consider a part ex of my n/a so I am off to Cannock on Thursday.
  11. Hi all; The wife and I, and a few mates, are off to Catalunya next May, for the Spanish GP; but not quite sure where to sit for the best action. So has anyone got a copy of a Spanish F1 race at Catalunya, so we can have a look and make our minds up? Thanks from Carl
  12. White one going uphill towards Air Balloon pub, Birdlip, Gloucester, around 2pm this afternoon. I was going downhill in my red one.
  13. Seen 7.30 this morning, Kings Acre Road Hereford. Shiny black M reg, you wouldnt have spotted me, I was an under cover Supra driver, in a plain white van.
  14. "What about you?" says Michael Palin, in that photo, "Do you find it wissible, when I say the name of my friend, Biggus Dickus?" Certainly the greatest comedy movie ever imo, ive got it on video somewhere, must dig it out.
  15. You may notice that a lot of them seem to be about eating!! Is it true they have a day to celebrate toothache??
  16. I drove a GTS recently, and it did seem noticeable faster than my n/a. Perhaps you could employ a marksman, to shoot his tyres if he is getting ahead. Good luck.
  17. You mean "there are two kinds of spurs, my friend; those that come in through the door, those that come in through the window" Got your post bumped up anyway.
  18. What a great race, and what a result! All the times JB has looked like he was in with a shout, like starting P1 or P2, and he goes and wins from there, superb.
  19. Had my (red ) bonnet and one front wing completely sprayed, along with a few other minor scuffs repaired recently. Someone who paints for a living should be able to match the colour, as my guy did. I paid him £240, thought it pretty fair.
  20. That will be the only game he wins at Wimbledon, tomorrow he plays Roger Federer.
  21. Can only be "small dog syndrome" by the Smart car driver.
  22. That is truly horrible. 1900 quid!!!!
  23. No they are the standard Toyota brakes original equipment on an N/A
  24. Hi all, recently uprated my front brakes, so now have a pair of standard front discs and calipers for sale, Off an n/a, both working as they should, and discs looking in very good condition, I havent measured the thickness, but am happy to do so, if anyone is interested. There are no pads with them. Open to reasonable offers, pretty heavy so collection can be arranged in Hereford, or Kington, Herefordshire, or Brecon, Powys, or Ludlow, Shropshire. Cheers from Carl
