  1. MVP have these in urethane. http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Templates/frmTemplateM7.asp?SubFolderID=2286&SearchYN=N
  2. I would say just go for one which offers insurance all year round, do not worry about the small print but make sure you choose a company that doesn't require you to call them when you need to travel, then they don't know whether you are in England or anywhere else, but they dont really care. Norwich Union RAC Direct Line. There must be companies in Holland that offer insurance of british plates, there are companies here in spain that do it.
  3. Of course Mike. This is the Nick who gave you the supra bug when I took you out in the Purple single supra and killed a DB7, 911 and 355 on the way back from Bolney. I am shipping a new supra to spain at the beginning of september. How are you?
  4. Hi, as the title says, need cover to be able to drive from England to Europe whenever I want, not just for 90 days. The AA and RAC do this but are far too expensive, Direct Line want about £850 (I will be 28 by the time my insurance starts with 6 years no claims and no convictions in the last 5 years). Does anyone know any companies?
  5. How is it driving my old car around Mike? was my first supe, I loved it, wish I had not sold it
  6. These pics have now convinced me to keep my active spoiler and paint it. So you have it permanently set in the down position and then paint it? looks very nice.
  7. If any of you fancy starting your own business and know a lot about import laws then I would suggest coming to spain and importing supras, the young spanish males love their cars and I have only seen 1 supra here in Marbella in a year and a half. I will be importing the 2nd soon. There are thousands of Porsches, even saw for the first time a Koenigsegg, had never heard of it.
  8. Yes Scott, he said it was flawless inside and out, just the slight underneath rust. Made him take a few hundred off so I can get it waxoyl'd. He even liked the alloys, I don't like them in the photos but he said they look much better live. thanks for your help Scott Nick:d
  9. I just bought one for £10.5k, 98 VVTi, auto tiptronic with 27,000 miles. On autotrader you can see it. Will be shipping it to spain at the end of the month. Sound like I got a bargain.
  10. Just speaking a bit of russian that my wife has taught me haha:p
  11. net, ya iz chipry ho maya gena ryckaya, iz poctova. dobpi den Nick
  12. and you can be Batman in your batmobile
  13. Not yet CJ, but probably within 3 weeks. But I will be leaving the forum then anyway because I will no longer have any supras
  14. Throw me a friggin' bone here Scott!! Hi is the snake to my mongoose, or the mongoose to my snake, either way its bad! I like Dr Evils long speech when he is having rehab, something about his childhood, very strange.
  15. Thats a good point, my best childhood friend Alex went travelling 3 years ago and 10 months into his 11 month trip round Australia and Asia he disappeared in Nepal after being mugged and handing in his passport at a travel agents so he could come back and pay for a flight, but he never returned to pick up his passport and disappeared along a trail leading to Mt. Everest. I wish we could know if he is still alive, the unknown is far worse than knowing they are dead, its hard without closure and his oarents are distraught constantly wondering why he never turned up at the airport.
  16. I agree with it all but as to this quote my answer would be - no he cant be made younger but we would be old also and not had the fortune he has had in his life, and for what....being average at kicking a piece of leather around. You have been fortunate enough to realise what you have Mig because you cannot walk, whereas the rest of us still feel sorry for ourselves, worrying about bills like you mentioned earlier. Aint Life Grand!!
  17. :upside: Its for Australian Supra drivers
  18. I agree Mig, but sometimes you just have to think that in our world it seems as though happiness is drvien by money. You look at someone like David Beckham living a luxurious life for doing nothing, and other hard working scientists and doctors trying to cure the world of disease who get poorly paid and probably dont have the good life others have. All around the world it seems as though those with money are happier than those without, obviously family is more important, but what is family, we are all related, we all came from 1 species. So to make us truly happy we want to buy things or do things that make us feel good. We dont want to work all day every day. I agree but then what was it, and who would have created that and that and that and so on.......so some say it is circular......but who created the circle ....ha ha.......YOU COULD GO ON ALL DAY
  19. OK, you know you just have one of those stressful peiods when you stay in a slump for a few months, and you wonder what exactly our purpose is in life and you start to wonder how we were created. The planets etc were created by the coming together of millions of dust particles which all lead to the big bang. But WHAT created those particles that created the big bang?......and what created the thing that created the particles that caused the big bang?. You see it is a neverending travel back in time, however far back you go, you can always ask the question "but what created that". Religions must have been created because of this, people thinking that there must have been a supreme being which made all this happen......but what would have created them.......It could drive you crazy thinking how we first started. It has obviously been the force that created such films as the matrix, believing what we are living is not real. Would like to know what other people think about this. P.S. I think I have been watching the discovery and history channels too much (sky digital 551 and up haha)
  20. there is no such thing as being "hard" anymore, we are in a time where people think being hard is hanging out in gangs and using guns, nobody wants to fight one on one anymore to solve an problems (not that i think problems should be solved with violence), because people know there is always someone bigger and tougher out there than themselves, so to be feared you must hang about in large numbers or carry weapons. I have never physically beaten anyone, because I dont see the point in fighting over stupid things, if I was severely sinned against then I may think about it, but people these days want to fight over silly things like someone spilling their drink etc....
  21. I wanna see the hand, post up some pics jake:)
  22. Mig, its basically saying the grey car (silver really) was the unlucky finalist who the guy talked to and dude told him he would be at the event KOE( king of europe) with more horsepower.
  23. Yep sometimes it cant understand the whole sentence because it could be slang, abbreviations etc... that the french guys are using. ha ha, I'll give it a go and see.
  24. go to babbelfish.com and paste the text in and it will translate it migster
