  1. Heights and going over bridges.
  2. Bumped as I updated my original post.
  3. Same here! It doesn't matter what time of day it is either, there's always someone dordling along. Thing is it's such a boring, undangerous road as well
  4. Also make sure your credit card is protected against fraud, although i think thats pretty standard in this day and age.
  5. I think you DO need it plugged in the phone line as my box started playing up recently so i rang sky and they asked if it was plugged in to the phone line (which i thought it was) and for some reason it wasn't connected (pulled out by mistake at some point i guess). She told me to plug it in and leave it for a while as updates would be sent along the box to try and fix it and sure enough it worked
  6. Seen loads but the highlight for me was metallica at wembley stadium in july
  7. I've got 18 inch wheels on the car so it sounds like that will pretty much negate the inaccurate speedo
  8. I cant believe the speedo can be so inaccurate! Hopefully mine is as inaccurate as yours! I assume all supras will be similar. Thanks for telling me that.
  9. Thanks for the replies guys. I've heard 3 points makes hardly any difference to insurance so im not really worried. But when you try and balance the books and work overtime to pay bills, things like this are not really needed lol. Nevermind, s**t happens. I'll update the thread when a) i receive the ticket or b) 14 days pass without a ticket (i take it the 14 day rule still stands?)
  10. Yep i drive slowly pretty much all the time as well. And who says the government aren't trying to make money out this...
  11. I was travelling down a 30mph road today, concentrating on the road ahead, other cars etc. and not staring at the speedo 100% of the time Before i knew it i had passed everyones favourite van that was literally hidden behind a wall so by the time i saw it i had passed it. I quickly checked my speedo and it was about 33mph. I vaguely remember the rules being 10% over plus 2mph which would mean 35mph is ok but is that still the case? And how accurate are supra speedos? 3 points isn't the end of the world but it makes me mad when i have to give the government even more money unnecessarily. Thanks for any advice. EDIT: It's been 4 weeks and I didn't receive anything
  12. TBH i think the low priced supras are low for a reason...
  13. Definately a future classic imo. Some low mileage, excellent condition cars have already started to gain value i believe.
  14. I had a head gasket go on my cruddy old escort and that was £700, mind you i needed pretty much a whole new engine as it killed all 16 valves can a supra head gasket death destroy its valves as well? If so i would imagine it would be approaching new engine prices
