Sorry to read this Jake and see the painful pictures. I can't (well, I suppose I can) believe that the Police can't be bothered to do anything. :thumbdown I once had my car broken into 3 times in the same street (in bath); my mates was done and another friend as well (twice). On all occasions the Police just sent a "Dear Victim" letter and bugger-all else. I challenged them and they stated that it was a known 'hot-spot' for car crime - so I suggested that CCTV may be a good idea. 10 years later, still nothing, although I've moved... I can't believe (from reading some of the posts here) that you are may not be allowed to film someone committing a crime, that's fucked!! J

Spotted in Bristington Retail Centre about 10:30 this mornong. Nice looking Alloys. I put a mkivsupra.net card under your w/s wiper. Any takers on here? J

saw 45,000 and assumed it was a reserve type thing, but it's km's D'OH J

Have got in and looking.. . As a rough guide, how many yen to the pound? cheers J

Well, I got the restrictor ring enlarged on Saturday by 6mm diameter and I have got an increase in boost from 0.95 to about 1.1 bar. Going to get it increased by another 4mm and hopefully see 1.2 bar. Turbos spinning up a lot easier aswell. J

I think the pub is "the Swan" in Tockington - Atilla, do you know it ? have a look & see what you think J

Bugger, I'm going to the Renault World series at Donington that weekend - typical J

Hi mate, All cars seem different. I got full Envy decats & RSR back box last November and a restrictor ring, but I only get between 0.9 & 1.0 bar. I'm hopefully getting the restrictor ring enlarged on Friday, as I am convinced that it's still providing too much back pressure - looking for 1.2 bar as this makes a noticeable difference. If I do, I'll let you know if it works. J

Hi. As spoken about after the fairmile trip (bloody good time that!!! ), I would definately up for a monthly meet in the South West area - Cribbs is great for me as I'm only 20 mins from there, and work quite near too, so can scout around for some other good pubs/meeting areas. I know a quite nice pub a few mins from the M5 Almondsbury just off the A38 (not sure of name though) J

Si, Where you travelling from - we could have a convoy of 2 green Supras from the West?? (is 2 a convoy? ) J

Any news on Taz, Ian. Sorry you won't be at the meet on Sunday:( J

Laz, I filled up when I left, and when I got home (light was on, and I desperately looking for garage on back roads!!). I managed 296 miles on 62ltrs so thats...just calculating... 21.6 mpg (I think). How many miles you do? J

mawby, there's a thread started in Supra chat http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=45374 Unfortunately we gate-crashed a Citroen Xsara Picasso meet at Chievely sorry for poor quality, captured off video camera J

Nice pics 52. Unfortunatley I'd pootled off at the M5 section, so didn't see you. Thanks to Andy & Susan for being worthy leaders throughout the day, just a pity all the slooooow traffic came out - must have been reading the forum. I was hoping to have some fun with a new Maserati 4200 GT on the way home, but he stoppped just before we got to an open stretch of the A38. :thumbdown Katie - Agree the B-road after Dunster was a hoot!! and thanks to Laz for the Cable ties for the exhaust - they've not melted yet. Thanks to Gatso for the ice-cream, who even made poor old Simon B eat one even though he said he was alergic, so I was afraid to say no Look forward to seeing the video Katie J

Ask about a guaranteed value. Bloody glad I did, I think I needed it!! Only another £30 but may have saved me several grand!! J

LOL!! it was bloody awful at Boxhill - nearly white. spent 2 hours washing/polishing the day before, then it poured in the morning and M4 was covered in salt. How I laughed (NOT)!!

..er.. not really. I rent the (probably) smallest flat. Nice place to live between Bath & Bristol in a converted Manor house. It has nice gardens, gym, swimming pool, etc in the price of the rent. J

Thanks for the vote of confidence mate. Homer: I'm glad I got back to Sky when they said it was 'total loss' and they intervened and it got sorted. Took a while, but happy for it to return to the fold!! Shame a few days late for Bovington (what with the 'Grale spewing petrol too LOL) J

I should be OK for this one too: 1. WSB2 2. Ivan (Ken) (away for the 2 middle weeks of Sept) 3. SimonB 4. chrispee (away for the 2 middle weeks of Sept with Ivan) 5. Whitelightning (TAZ) 6. Elliot (Just to be awkward!) 7. b'have 8. Ewen Foster 9. MRX (Away last week Sept 1st week Aug) 10. TDaxGav, if my car is running I will be there... 11. DB probably minus my supra as it might be gone this weekend 12. jaymdee

Yes it's metallic green. When properly polished it seems to have gold flecks in it which reflect in the sun. Also has a slight 2-tone effect (bluey/purple) in some light. I checked the VIN plate and the code matched the Toyota code. There are a few green ones around, but not many. Ironically it's probably my favourite Supra coulor now, but I really wasn't happy after I bought it and though I'd made a mistake. As soon as I replaced the stock wheels with these I loved it - the gold inserts made a huge difference J

... and a few more J

Well, after 8 weeks without Supra, I finally have her back! Repair to rear end looks good and so I made the effort to take some piccies tonight. Haven't really posted a full set before (oops, been a member for 18 months ) as i'm not much cop with cameras, so here goes: J

Have added my name now I have the Supra back!! (although exhaust has been refitted too low and I'm hitting speed bumps ) Unfortunatley I can't do the entire trip as I have 2 previously planned things happening on Saturday :thumbdown , but I'm going with the 'head in the sand' approach and hope that things will sort themselves out. Hope to be with the convoy up to Minehead J

Sorry to hear about this mate, :thumbdown Mine was rear ended in June (http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=41243) & I picked it up today from the bodyshop all nice & new. I was originally told it was being written off with a quote of £4300, but luckily had it insured (through Sky) at £12000, so when I pointed this out they said "oh well it will be repaired then" Lots of the cost was due to needing chassis jigs etc, as all the bodykit had to come off, so lots of labour hours. From the sound of it yours would be about the same to fix. Incidently the assessor who looked at mine said that to find a good one with some decent mods meant that the car was definately worth the 12k (in his opinion - he looked on Autotrader, but was not swayed with cheap nasty examples) Hope you can arrange to get it repaired or bought off them and back in tip-top condition soon. (I'm gutted I've missed the nearly the entire summer) J

Bugger; Bugger!! Gutted to have to miss this guys, hope message got through from Ray. I cannot believe that first off I don't get my Supra back from Mr T in time, then, when enroute, the Integrale decides to spit fuel (Optimax @99.9p!!) out all over Shell garage forecourt Not wanting to be defeated, I did actually drive as far as Juction 13 on the M4 as it seemed to be ok, but eventually decided that the risk of petrol hitting the exhaust was too much - it must have come from somewhere Am home now, and very sad Hope you all had a great time!! I want to see vids J
