And in the UK she'd be expecting the NHS to bail her out health wise and the tax payer to fund her bed ridden existence. FWIW my opinion is cut them off and let them fend for themselves. I don't see anyone queueing up to pay for my food and rent should I not be able to work.

The photo's are obviously massively stretched sideways which gives the impression that the wheels have 335's on them but still those are some huge rims all the same and utterly maximising the stock arches and the amount of room in them. I should imagine there is only a millimetre or so between both your shocks and your arches to squeeze them bad boys in!!! OK I shall retract the stretched part of that statement. I'm using a widescreen LCD TV as a monitor in stretch mode which explains alot lol.. Still maximum use of useable tyre space lol. FWIW stretch the pics from 4:3 to 16:9 and see how mega cool the car looks

Oh bum!! Maybe I need to look around for a decent V90 That said you reckon the 940 turbo redblock is a good engine for upgrades? -
Amazed at the poor customer service from Sky Insurance
dangerous brain replied to DodgyRog's topic in Insurance
A-Plan Thatcham every time for me mate. I have in 5 years not been able to best them on price on any jap motor I've been insuring(yes they pull the renewal prank but thats up to you to monitor afaiac). SKY for all of their hullaballoo on here and other forums have been miles off the mark and I mean miles. A-Plan Thatcham have been the only company I can say hand on heart have supported my ever changing vehicle fleet and remained good VFM despite escalating insurance costs. In case I hadn't already said it SKY quotations are toss!!!!! They should be ashamed of themselves calling themselves a club insurer and the club itself should be ashamed that they promote a company that systematically over quote and under achieve in their market place. If you want proof try sticking up an encompassing canvas of insurance quotes like for like and see the reality realised!!!! I can identify with the OP about the attitude as well. When I got a nark on with A-Plan at a renewal that was taking the p*ss they had an advisor on the phone sorting me out with a better quote (its called the game baby) straight away. SKY just brushed me off and let me go. Obviously they make enough money from the rest of you DORKs lol -

Is the V90 RWD as well? -
If Michel can get away with dropping a car for sale ad in here lets see how long mine lasts with the same base car lol. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?250404-1997-VVTi-twin-turbo-MK2-toyota-Aristo-running-a-BRC-LPG-system-%A34500 The car needs to move on as its sat with no tax and in a week or so no insurance. Its a snip for a non-LPG car never mind one that has a full sequential system that was only fitted 13 months ago. Picture supra TT speed and acceleration with the same performance increaser's and couple that with the economy of that sh*t heap you run in the week to keep your supra on the drive or in the garage and that is where this car is at!

Some stagea's go for that sort of money. http://pistonheads.com/sales/3075473.htm http://pistonheads.com/sales/2836038.htm http://pistonheads.com/sales/2777080.htm Cheapy cheapy would be a volvo 940 or 960 estates. The 940 2.3 turbo has lots of cheap power upgrades available and all are RWD. -
Yes there is but this aristo is only £3750 so alot cheaper than £7k But if the audi floats your boat then http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2000-AUDI-A6-ALLROAD-LPG-QUATTRO-250Bhp-AVANT-ESTATE-/110715903588?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item19c72e9e64

I'm surprised no-bodies mentioned a toyota aristo twin turbo VVTi running a BRC LPG setup returning the same costs as a deisel:search:

I'm just north of Bournemouth mate I expect there probably aren't that many in the country but only 9 wouldn't be that accurate. Possibly only 9 registered on a 1997 plate as alot are registered as lexus GS300's for some reason. I got the LPG fitted by a local firm called dorset LPG. There is no difference in performance between gas and petrol. I am getting pretty similar mpg on gas and petrol ie about 230 miles to 53-55 litres. I filled up today and I paid 76 pence a litre for gas and £1.43 a litre for a few litres of super which I last put petrol in about 2 months ago I think.

My God with that torque profile its a tyre chewer from the offset lol. Want to PX an aristo lol
-
Buddy why would you go back to a significantly older NA from a TT VVTi? I assume it must be 5 speed and you've been woo'd by the manual box and forgot all about the power loss
-
GAH!!! Somebody has left me a little car park surprise!! The front wing and front bumper under the wing now has a nice scrape on the paint. I reckon its going to be around a couple of hundred quid to get that blown back in properly FFS. With this in mind and the fact that its due taxing a price drop to £3750 is in order. That is my utter bottom price and I think I'm actually robbing myself here when the gas kit and service cost me £2500

Once you drive your TT performer as a daily that costs the same as your current daily to run then your requirement for said current daily vanishes. LPG on a TT does precisely that, half your supra's running cost and that is where you are at with my car. I sold my diesel runner as it cost the same to run as my aristo (insurance aside). Only reason I am selling it is because I have a new 5 year job 12 miles from home and I never leave a 40 limit or a road that more than 40 can be achieved despite my best efforts because of the appalling road surface. I have a monster truck 4x4 that has been sat for 2 years nearly and that as a vehicle is the more suited to my current requirements.
