  1. Well spotted You win a bitch slap and a night of passion with Burna x
  2. Much appreciated Mark - many thanks to you for producing and sorting the posting of these, they look great! Thanks to all who sent entries in as well - some great pics this year.
  3. Have a fantastic Christmas guys and gals - looking forward to meeting up with old friends and new faces in 2019 - have a great break, be happy, have fun, drive safe
  4. I'm talking UK - in 1993 the car was launched at a price of £37,500 and when it was finally discontinued in 1996 in the UK it had a sale price of £41,864.
  5. I've said it before and I'll say it again - you were never going to get a 'true' successor to the Supra from Toyota and the main reason is brand positioning. Back in 1992/93 the Lexus aspect of Toyota was still mainly a US brand and in its relative infancy. When the Supra was released (at £37k back then!) it was the pinnacle of the Toyota/Lexus stable - you simply couldn't buy anything more powerful, faster or better, end of! Fast forward to 2018/19 and the story is quite different. Lexus is now the premium brand in the Toyota stable and, as with Porsche and its model hierarchy, so it is now with Toyota and Lexus. Lexus have the LC500 as the brand leader and very soon the LC-F. THAT will be, technically, the new Supra and in my opinion should be considered such. Toyota cannot bring out a model that usurps the Lexus in terms of powerplant, power, speed and cost - brand positioning just won't allow it. The Toyota Supra of 2019 is effectively the Boxster of the Toyota stable whereas the LC-F is the 911 Turbo. I'm as disappointed as everybody else to be honest as when I first the the FT-1 concept I had high hopes but when the spy shots came out is was always a disguised Z4/5 under there and as with the GT86 (which is a fine handling car) was always going to be a diluted successor. Don't blame the Toyota engineers, I'm sure they would have loved to produce a true Supra, blame branding.
  6. Pretty standard. Had this with small parts from Amayama as well

Anybody who’s sent through pics today I’ll take a look in the morning and, if they’re any better, will swap some out! Entries are no longer needed though, thank you. Must say that the quality and quantity this year has been pretty impressive so thanks to those who have sent them through. Will post up the layouts for each month tomorrow so you can see who made the money shots! As mentioned, there’s over 110 pics across the whole calendar so there’s a pretty good chance you’re in if you sent me something through.
