  1. What you need is a "Harry Potty" ... Linky: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=120546&highlight=potty Must be the first time ever the word Potty has been used twice in a day on a car forum... G
  2. A "Wiltshire Meet" great... How about a pub-grub followed by a little blast somewhere (the A4 is nice)... Cheers G
  3. Must be worth the effort of sending them out.. I personally know of a guy who thought he had inheritted £14M from an unknown relative in Honk Kong. He quit his job, ordered a Rolls, made plans to give family big sums of money etc. etc. They had strung him up for two months getting e-mails & letters from Honk Kong & London. After he told me, it took me five minutes on Google to find out it was a scam and when I broke it to him he didn't belive me. Two days later they asked for £15K to finalise the money transfer ! I think it was a cross between him being naive and desperate to retire that hooked him, but he's a sensible (?) man in every other way. He was really stupid and I still can't belive he fell for it, but I still feel sory for him though. The only good news is that he bounced back really well. G
  4. Popped up yesterday to see how things were going... drove by it once as I thought it was a wrecker .... with no front, no front lights / rear lights, primer all way around, didn't look anything like our lovely Supe ! Coming on nice though... Are you still "up there" or down here now ? Cheers G
  5. Looking great Steve... Can't wait to pick mine up soooon. Cheers G
  6. Think there's something that your not telling us Rosie - but if you have had a great idea, I don't blame you. As has been said above, I'm sure it depends on exactly what you want mass producing. If it's "belts" I would google for belt manufacturers and start blasting e-mails all over the place, if it for a "new idea" I'd give as little information as possible away and just see what comes back. My latest super secret get rich quick idea has been taken from my young grandson's latest item (he's just over a year old). It's a cross between the "Henry" vacuum cleaner marketing idea(the red one that has a face on and is sold in millions) and a potty. My potty will have a face on complete with spectacles and I'm going to name it "Harry". A "Harry Potty" What do ya think....
  7. Have you seen her reclusive sister...
  8. "toyota supra on istonheads" is somebody taking the "p"...

    Power & Speed ?

    Like this one, simple and easy, even though it thinks that a UK Supe is faster than a Jap one -
  10. Who do you folks use (website) to get the BHP, 0-60 times on other (non Supra) cars. Looking for a replacement for my ST200 at the mo and apart from Evo's, Scoobies (sorry) etc nothing really thrills me... Like Jap (obviously) but not married to the idea, but would like something not to slow. Looking at all sorts at the mo, but don't know of a site where I can check out the performance figures. Any ideas... Cheers G
  11. Deffo won't have the Supe but will be there - staying over locally (going to a party) and will have a look at Thorpe Park or somewhere on Sunday... see ya tomorrow...
  12. On a more helpful note... Linky: http://www.tyres-online.co.uk/techinfo/speed.asp
  13. 186 MPG is pushing it even for a diesel..:)
  14. Still all good to go? Hopefully Supe will be all done up by then....its at Knight Racer at the mo being de-badgerifyied!! Will be back shiney and luvverly again by then I hope Keep the thread going........got to get excited now Sue
  15. As there seems to have been a glut of “RIP”s lately, I’ll just add one of my own, Phil Drabble. Died yesterday, he wrote loads of books on dogs / hunting / countryside and was a true “countryman” . Reading his book “Of Pedigree Unknown” inspired me to get my first Lurcher, a cross between Greyhound (for speed), Collie (for brains), plus a bit of Bedlington terrier (for balls) a brilliant little dog that gave me years of pleasure going for “walks” (and coming back with rabbits and the odd pheasant etc). She was happy to sit in front of the fire for hours on end just keeping one eye on me, but given a dark windy night, she was like a little guided missile on a rabbit in the lamp. Excellent dog, would steal the top of your ice cream if you looked away for a second. Some of you may remember Phil Drabble from fronting “One man & his dog” the sheepdog trials program for many years. In these fast times of the internet, cameras down every street and instant gratification, Phil seemed very old fashioned - but I can’t help thinking that in most ways he’d got it right. Don’t have to wish him RIP cos I’m sure he is…. G
  16. Dred to think what unholy things lie in the bottom of Colins sleeping bag ...
  17. I don't think it was dead, I think it was the VeilSide hating badger here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=118145&highlight=badger I think it was just pretending to be dead and as it had it's eyes closed didn't see the difference between a VeilSide and a Bomex (they are not very bright at the best of times) G PS... Knight Racer don't have a badger breeding company that they run on the side do they.. ?
  18. Hi and welcome… Nice to see more ladies owning Supra’s Be prepared for some confusion on your name, there’s already a SupraWoman on here who is quite well known. Have fun… Soo
  19. Looks good for us. although not in the Supe as it's in Supe Hospital at the mo (being de-badgered)

  21. Take my (CW's) advise, don't belive any manufacturer / trader (as the traders get their info from the manufacturers) on newly out wheels. Have you seen the 5Zigens that Envy do ?
  22. Re above post: mine were 18"
  23. Be careful..... I bought Rota GTR's for my standard suspension Supe early in the year and on the only offset for a Supra the rears hit the arches ! When I double checked, others had had the same problem. Tyrelogic exchanged them for some different wheels (still not without problems) see: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=105407 See Chris Wilsons wise words "only buy after you have seen / droven them on YOUR car" ! I think they look great though.... Cheers G
