  1. Agreed, mine would look so cool dropped a little more, but I scrape the deck too often as it is
  2. The pic is attached fine mate, nice looking motor
  3. Looks good. I've just bought the same rear bumper off of Dude, just the overfenders to get now
  4. Quick question. I was up there this weekend being ripped off by PC World, and the sign on the gates to the car park says 'Gates close at 10pm every night'. Is it over by then ? Or do you move onto somewhere else ? Doubt I can make it this time, but just wondered......
  5. I use the Meguiars 3 stage Crystal system. It's very good, but takes a while..... 1) Wash and dry car 2) Apply Paint Cleaner and buff off 3) Apply Polish and buff off 4) Apply Carnuba Wax and buff off 5) Go indoors, consume lots of post-polish lager and catch 40 winks ! Roll on summer
  6. And you could run a 600bhp BL 67 without opening up the engine ?
  7. I'd love to give it a go, but a) I'm a total noob and b) wouldn't want to stuff the supe into something immovable, so lots of run-off please
  8. Er, mk5 1.3 Cortina ! Which I abruptly put into a ditch at near 60mph...BACKWARDS
  9. Is this a just Supra meet ? Or japanese performance cars ? I should be okay to go, but just 'bumping' a prior arrangement Matt
  10. Been looking at the pics again, is it too late to move the scoop forward a little ? Just looks a bit too far back for me. Just an idea.
  11. I'm reserving judgement until I've seen the finished article. But it's a 'work in progress', so I certainly wouldn't be as condemnatory and judgemental as some have been on this thread....I'll do that when it's finished Only joking The first pics looked a bit sketchy, but the last picture looks ok to me, so I'm keen to see it finished. I've got to pop down and see Dude soon, so I'll take more of a peek then
  12. 'It's exhausting down here !'
  13. They've only ever got my order wrong once, they sent it twice and said nothing
  14. Hi all, The outside of my car gets FAR more attention than the inside ! But I want to give the inside a good polish too. I have a GZ, but even so I believe the door cards\dash are vinyl. Any recommendations out there for polishing these up ? Tried an Autoglym vinyl polish on one door over the weekend and it was poop (Where did the Donkey emoticon come from ?!? Just spotted it ) Cheers Matt
  15. ......but if this is what one looks like, then I WAN'T A RANGE ROVER http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=29749&item=4517772566&rd=1 Nearly 3,000 views - and only 18 bids, I wonder why
  16. I don't know where all the Supra's are located, but how about two events at the same time - a North and a South event that meets in the middle at the end. So you might have one start in Scotland and tour it's way down south and one start in cornwall\devon and work it's way north. Then we all meet up for one big Supra meet. Bring your own portable BBQ and sleeping bag

    New Jag

    I can definitely see where you're coming from. I had an X-Type 3.0 Jag when they first came out, cost £32k with the extras. Complete pile of poop So bad in fact that after 14 months of arguing, they agreed to swap it for another. This wasn't quite as bad, but still had to have a lot of warranty work done. We're not talking the odd squeak or rattle, whilst I had the car it had : 3 gearboxes 2 transfer boxes propshaft works to diff. cage wheel bearings all four door lock mechanisms (spent two weeks getting in from the passenger side front door ) Clutch plate replacement And that's off the top of my head, it was with the dealership, on average, once a month whilst I owned it So, would I buy a new Jaguar ? Hell no, once the model is a few years old and they've sorted out the issues then maybe. Oh, and I wasn't the only one with a problematic X-Type. DON'T buy an X-Type !!! I REALLY wanted a Jag too, and to say I was disappointed was an understatement. Matt
  18. I wanted a Supra for a while and I'm LOVING mine, I'm not supposed to use it everyday but the missus will say to me before work 'are you taking the Laguna or the Supra', then she sees the smile on my face and knows which car I'm taking But that's the thing, I have an alternative car for putting people in, doing trips to the tip etc. The Supra is an awesome car, but go and look at the back seat in one. Not sure I could recommend one as a lone family car. All the best Matt
  19. I think this is a good idea. I wanted to do a Cannonball but a) it's a week away b) it's expensive c) it's too much driving and d) it was organised by that TWAT from Japvillage ! Maybe we need two events then because the trackday tie-in is a terrific idea ! My ony problem is whether I could sneak away, the missus wouldn't normally mind in fact she'd come too, but we now have a wee baby boy to think about Definitely interested though.
  20. Ah who cars, if it feels good - DO IT ! Are they actually illegal to use on the road ? I thought they were illegal because they are a distraction, but a friend of mine was talking to a policeman who said that as far as he knew, if they were declared on the insurance, then they were legal to use. Oh, and I'll take pics of mine and post for ya Matt
  21. D'oh ! Just missed that. Cracking film though. But my first quote ?
  22. From my weekends viewing. 'Well my friend, are you a Mexican ? Or a Mexican't ?' Or a few from another fave film of mine 'Pussy, pussy, pussy! All pussy must go. At the Titty Twister we're slashing pussy in half! This is a pussy blow out! Make us an offer on our vast selection of pussy! We got white pussy, black pussy, Spanish pussy, yellow pussy, hot pussy, cold pussy, wet pussy, tight pussy, big pussy, bloody pussy, fat pussy, hairy pussy, smelly pussy, velvet pussy, silk pussy, Naugahyde pussy, snappin' pussy, horse pussy, dog pussy, chicken pussy, fake pussy! If we don't have it, you don't want it!' followed by... 'Attention pussy shoppers! Take advantage of our penny pussy sale! If you buy one piece of pussy at the regular price, you get another piece of pussy of equal or lesser value for only a penny! Try and beat pussy for a penny! If you can find cheaper pussy anywhere, f*** it!' :D 'Well, it's been one long goddamn hot miserable shit-ass f***in' day every inch of the way' 'Where are we going?' 'Mexico.' 'What's in Mexico?' 'Mexicans.' :D:D
  23. Must admit, whenever I've been the prices haven't been noticably better than 'say' ebuyer, aria, savacentre, dabs, microdirect et al. I'd much rather pay a couple of quid more and buy from a company I could get hold of again should something happen.
