I pick my Supe up from Essex tomorrow so I will be looking out for "a live sheep" but is doubtful on the M1 back to Derbyshire!! I might have to divert cross country. , but I have a plan for the 4th of Jan if the "sheep" task has not been done already hehehehe

As asked before what kit have you got. TV (new one) and a dvd player for starters. Have you got Sky and do you use an amp of any kind for the sound? I think the salesmen was probably refering to the TV's Internal Virtual Dolby Digital hence why he gave you the RCA's Scotty71

It could have been worse moe.... you could have got blown away by a Fiat Punto Turbo Diesel, isnt that right JonathonC Scotty71

Plasma's should always be transported upright and not flat. Hope you get a replacement real quick Scotty71

I spent every day looking for different kinds of cars before deciding on the Supe, RB5's and the 555 special edition's go for 4-5k so they might be right up your alley Good luck with the search Scotty71

Im looking for L511PRA and put a nice black false fixing at the bottom of the 11, ive been close finding but all the reg places show the same results so I guess its taken. Scotty

My other half spotted a silver Supra L plate in the HMV car park in Burton On Trent today. I thought it might have been trebor69's silver N/A as he is local to me but she didnt think that was the reg after showing her trebors garage pic?? Scotty71

Well if you have 10k to spend:d the classifieds here are your best bet in my opinion 100%,cars will be known to the club and maybe owned by previous club members too How about this?? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=202854 Maybe you need to speak to Jurgen also at JM Imports with that kind of budget....... Scotty71
-
. . . . cough What budget have you got? as the auto is 6k and the manual 9k, so a 3k gap there for starters. If you want a manual they will always be well more expensive wherever you look. I was looking for a Supra for 4 months and to be honest my problem was I was trying to stay local which was a mistake. I ended up going to view in Essex off a classified here (140 miles there from Derbyshire) and pick it up Saturday. My advice would be decide your top budget, scour the for sale threads on here and dont put distance in the way of finding "the right car for you":) (within reason) Failing the Ads on here, though there are plently for sale try Pistonheads and avoid Egay Heres one for starters http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=179034 Scotty71

This has been my daily car for the last two and a half years after selling my Cosworth. Due to me picking up my Supra in two days time I have now bought an Astra Van to do my 40 miles travel to and from work so the Mondeo is now up for sale. In the time I have owned it the only issue I have had was a leak in the power steering oil cooler pipe which I replaced. Other than this I have had no issues with the car and it crusies nice down the 20 miles down the A38 dual carriagway to work. 1998 Ford Mondeo ST24 V6 2.5 litre Duratec Engine 135000 Miles Ford RS Sport Pack (side skirts and bigger bumpers) optional extra Scorpion Stainless Exhaust Pipercross Induction Kit 17" Fox 5 Spoke Alloys 4 Previous Owners Traction Control ABS Heated Front and Rear Screens New discs and pads all round (2k miles ago) Kenwood CD player 12 Months MOT Taxed till the end of Feb (costs 102 for six months) Slight bubbleing on the O/S rear arch Great all round condition (as per pics) I am looking for around 1250 or nearest offer and can say that this car at 135k still pulls nice and has never let me done once apart from the issue previously stated. I will fully clean/valet the car for any new owner and could deliver (if arranged beforehand). If you want to contact me via mobile PM me for my number. Many Thanks Scotty 71 (Rob)

Thats not a bad looking blob eyed STi that . . but yes as Pistonbroke states newer Subaru's do cost 400+ to tax. I laugh at my mate for that but also that would depend on whether you are going for that shape or the older "classic" shape. While Looking for a car I did contemplate a Scoob and there are many Special Editions to be found UK300 - RB5 - Colin McRae Series. I was thinking of the RB5 and there were a couple I could have viewed but I decided a Supra was for me in the end. The RB5's go for about 5kish for a decent one (If as previously mentioned there is an option to keep the Supra could you not buy a POS for your daily driver?) RB5 Scotty

Gordy, My mate Dan has a 06 WRX. He has had it since new and he is well chuffed with it. I guess it depends on what version you are looking at, and whether your looking for a standard Impreza or an STi or WRX. Since he has owned it he has added coilovers, 18's on semi slicks, a Miltek exhaust and upgraded the Turbo to an STi and had a remap at Powerstaion. He keeps it immaculate and I have driven it a couple of times and it is quick. (n/a quick) I was 4 months ago looking at either a Supra, Skyline, Evo or an Impreza and as my kids live with my ex I didnt have the back seat issue in my critea as you do. After deciding on and buying my Supra (pick it up in 2 days) I did see the the back seats are a no go for anyone over 5 years old!!! I suppose its all down to what model you are looking for and how much budget you have got to play with. My mate has joined on here ( I think he secretly would like a Supra haha, he keeps looking at Jurgens Ad's ) so I will get him to give you a PM on anything you would like to know as I guess he is more qualified than moi. Anyway here is a couple of pics of Dan's Scooby Im sure he wont mind me showin off his pride and joy. Its currently running 329 @ the FLY after his mods. At Trax 2009 At Powerstation 2009 Scotty

Yep I posted the link in haydn's thread about his new legacy that his old one was for sale on ebay a couple of days ago, tampering hey!!! Did Haydn advertise it in miles instead of KM? he had it up at 143000miles which would still equal 89373 miles! Only Haydn can confirm I guess Scotty
-
Maybe, but it isnt selling at 10k so I would drop it a little , my point was your car is worth in your mind what you think it is worth , doesnt mean others have to agree, view , buy in the current time of year/market. Scotty
-
Thats unreal..... I cant believe you have been treated like this by PC Plod!! I take it you were in your Supe? He probably had a $hitty Christmas and when he saw your car and liked it but thought " I cant afford that on my wages" and thought he would give you some (you cant mess with me buddy!!!) Its about time the law stopped picking on motorists and dealt with real crime that really warrants it. Should you have beeped??, well I have done it before when people have stopped for no apparent reason infront of me. Scotty
