Lucas Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Well the weekend just gone was the weekend of picking up my Supra. It all started on Saturday at 7:00 am with me and Pablo meeting at the station. Journey up to London was fine with no problems. Got there around 8:10am which gave us 40 minuets to catch the coach at Victory Station to Newcastle. Jumped on the underground and went one stop when all trains on that line were cancelled. Ok not to bad thinking just grab a bus. Wonder over to the bus stop where is says " Not in Service". Now I am starting to worry. As we have 30mins to get to Victory. We make are way to the next bus stop and again Not in service. Oh shit We ask some nice police ladies how long it would take to walk it and they said " Around 15mins" So me and Pablo start a fast walk thinking we should just about make. 15mins my arse!!!! After arriving at victory and at this point I am breathing out my arse we had just missed the Coach by 5 pissing minutes. Ok now you can imagine I am not best pleased. So we ask when would the next coach to Newcastle be. 4:00pm. Right that will not work so back to London Waterloo to find out if we can train it. We get to Waterloo only to be escorted out as they evacuate the station. So there we are on the street for about 30mins. You can now imagine my mood. We finally get into the station and find out its going to cost £140 each to get there. That’s it for me I have had enough so back home we go. Plan B Give Jurgen a call and tell him the bad news but then I think screw it I am going to drive upto Newcastle and leave my car there to be scrapped and drive back in the Supra. On Sunday morning me and Pablo left Fareham at 7:00am and arrive in Newcastle around 1:00pm which was good going seeing I was driving an Audi 80 2.0ltr Auto. Was the day and a Half wait worth it??? Good god yes There was my new Supra and it looked awesome. Jurgen had done a 100% tops job and found me a fantastic motor. He is a great bloke and anyone wanting to import one should go to him. Can no fault him atall. So once again thanks Jurgen. After spending an hour or so with Jurgen I transferred my stuff from the Audi and waved it goodbye. Was bit sad to see it go. Oh no that would be a lie The drive back was great. Did not do anything stupid just cruised back at 80mph and did the full run on a tank and a quarter of petrol in 5 and half hours. Ok I was knackered after doing 800 miles in one day but dam it was worth it. I have not stopped smilling. Will post up some pics soon.

Gaz6002 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I bet your loving it mate. Jurgen is a good chap. He will be getting my mate Aaron an RX7 soon hopefully as well. Service is 2nd to none! How on earth did you refrain from booting it on the way home? I didn't! We flew up to Newcaste and I couldn't help playing a little on the drive back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabs Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 lol - was indeed an "interesting weekend". Saturday was a b*gger, but Sunday was grin-central :D:D Jurgen's a top bloke - when I start looking for my Supra, if there aint one I want on here, then I'll be going to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
