I had an import for a while, I was with AA for the first year, 21, 2yrs NCB I think I paid about £800 possibly even TPF&T Then they tried to double it at renewal time (couldnt give me a reason why), and went with adrian flux on a limited milage policy as I had a company car by then. That was about £800 again, but with no NCB as was being used on the company car. I dont know what it is about MX5s that makes them so expensive to insure, but you should be better of with a UK car. I miss mine when the suns out:taped:

So far, global credit terrorism change has only meant slightly cheaper fuel for me. My rent hasnt gone up and gas/leccy/phone and food have not been increases i have noticed. Im in a modest paying job, so im not just too rich to notice. However, now that its official i shall have to only fill the supra up halfway every fill up, in order to save weight to get better mileage.

I have a ceed as my company car, and it really is very un-offensive to the eye. as a car its not great, but its also not bad at all. its a car, everything on it works and it goes. its not fast but its not slow. in fact ive never felt so indifferent towards a car.

Good call, I remember reading that now. Sealed lead acid gives off something like hydrogen. Though I would have thought the chances of there being enough to explode from connection sparks, probably about the same chances of blowing up a petrol station with your mobile, but doesnt seem worth risking it

I think the idea behind letting the batteries equalise for a few mins is to help stop putting too much current down the jump leads - melting them. I also reckon the AA say not to use the -ve point on the battery as its close to the +ve terminal and if you miss with the leads and melt things together you might blame them. Since any earth point is connected to the battery anyway, i dont see why you shouldnt just go straight to source?!

Im well up for another meet sometime, but I think I might have to wait untill after christmas now.

yeah, Il have to remember the gloves and scarf for the next one I think! Was good to finally see some other supras and meet those that braved the match day traffic! Maybe we can make the next one at a pub with a big log fire?!

Il be going whatever happens - I have nothing else to do this afternoon Sounds like there should be plenty of places about to grab a cup of tea or coffee if its still miserable out.

on that note - anyone up for convoy from soton- eg: eastbound Rownhams services or something? or is that more effort than its worth? Im assuming im not the only one coming from that direction

I got a copy cut for the supra yesterday at the local locksmiths with no questions asked, other than "what car is it for".

This chart I stole off some other site might also help when deciding between 720 and 1080:

2pm works for me - gives time for a lazy morning staying in bed

Im up for this meet

Im in southampton, Id be up for a drive over Pompy way for a meet. I'l do my bit to help build back up good relations between sothampton and portmsouth!

Thanks for the welcome. Not got any major plans in the works fer it at the mo - being the optimist i am, im planning on using this one as a stepping stone to a TT in a few years time once ive built up some more no claims! Already done the stereo (so i can listen to something other than radio2 now) and started to swap a few bulbs over for LEDs in my never ending quest to rid my world of incandescent light. Will then maybe stick some 21" rims on, lower the car by about 6-14 inches and glue on a custom foamex body kit.

Hello all Ive been lurking around here for a few months now and reckon its about time I show my face! Just got my first supra about 6 weeks ago, and im still in the honeymoon period - looking for any excuses to drive it somewhere. Its a '95 na auto, freshly imported. I did my part contributing to credit crunch to get it, mainly beacuse i was tired of driving my boring kia ce'ed company car! Had a mk1 mazda Eunos last year which got me into RWD jap toys so now i feel like im growing up Will be looking to join in at some meets soon which should give me the motivation to tidy the car up a bit as it needs it in places! Anyway - heres a couple of pics my brother took as i was putting the deposit down on it http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll235/arglespd/Supra/DSC00015.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll235/arglespd/Supra/DSC00013.jpg Pete
