anyone get cault out by the weather! i was sitting watching the F1 grand prix! it was just about to start when it started pissing it down!!!! i walked out of the house to check the car and on my driveway the water was past my anchle! walked out to the road and the water was halfway up my wheels! the car was actulay moving and was being pushed down the street! i grabbed my keys and ran out! the water was almost up to my knees!i jumped in the car and it started! i couldnt belive it! and headed for high ground! luckely i havnt got my supra-doopra yet and it was my little mk1 MR2 but the car was under 5inches of water! managed to get it sorted to day and it seems to be fine! but my sound system is done for! so might need to get a car sooner than i thought! i called the police coz i live on the coast road in Newcastle! and in the dip under the roundabout down he road had flooded so deep that there was 2 cars in the water up to there roofs! (a celica and a audi!) and people were getting down the dip, turning round and driving the wrong way up the motorway in to the trafic coming along the road, to use the slip road off the motorway! so i had to stand in the middle of the road for 3 hours with a high viz jacket to stop people dieing! coz the police were too stretched to come! all because it rained for 30mins! but atleast it didnt get in to the house! so we are lucky! plus i got interviewed by tyne tees TV! still gutted about my car tho!

The problem was that the whole circuit is diamond cutted (little groves about every 5 or 10mm cut in to the tarmac) because the NASCAR’s run there and they have shit down force! The F1 cars run about 15times more down force, this coupled together with the faulty tyres caused the tyres to pop! Michelin did fly in new tyres but couldn’t guarantee they didn’t have the same fault! every team said they would pull out of the race if they didn’t build a chicane, all except Ferrari who to be fair were pissed on, and fucked over, at ever opportunity when they were a little player a few years ago, so they tend to be arseholes now! Personally I don’t agree with there decisions but I can see where they are coming from! But for some reason the FIA wouldn’t allow the race track to build a chicane! Which is a joke! although its not as easy as some would think to stick a chicane on a track! there has to be a good line of sight and the chicane has to adhere to rules and there has to be breaking points for the drivers! So in MY opinion its partly the FIA’s fault for being so bloody minded as they had time to sort all that out before the race! But Michelin have to hold there hands up! In all 11 tyres failed during qualifying! Kart run there too and there tyres hold out but they don’t have to go for 60 laps like the rules now state in F1! But the problem was, that with the culture of litigation in America if a car had crashed and hurt a member of public or a steward the teams could have been nailed, especially as they knew that there was a problem with the tyres before they started!

pics from today am sorry but am well excited
Tricky replied to Jurgen-Jm-Imports's topic in Off Topic
love the car! looks insane! jurgen-jm-imports, is the supra in your avitar yours? im sure i saw it in Newcastle last week! i was outside my mates shop and it drove past the end of the street so i didnt get a good look at it but was very nice! and very similar to the one in your pic! Tricky -
just been checking out the Seibon web site! they do almost a full body in carbon for the supra! (no roof or rear quaters) no sign of glass with the rear hatch or anything! and no sign of any prices! a mate of mine ownes XO motorsport so il go see him in the next couple of days and see if he can contact them and get a price in this country for the parts and il let you know! Tricky

iv seen MVP come up alot on this forum! are they good?? i mentioned suprastore a few days ago and were told not to touch them with a barge pole, which was strange because i always thought they were a respectable co. MVP seem well priced! but is shipping and import a fortune?? plus how do you pay import tax? (iv never imported anything before) are there any good UK supplyers? nice parts tho! Tricky

nice vids! have seen a few of them! love that turbo sucking noise!

love it! i want a soarer bad! and thats why! Tricky

if i had £10 - £20k to spend on a car it would have to be a TT supra with a shit load of mods! (coz thats the situation im in now!lol) other than that, someone has stolen my idea! and said an S4! my lil bro wants the 2.5TDI A4 estate with a chip (takes them to almost 400hp) my mate (who is only 20, the rich git) has just sold his volvo C70 T5 which was running 460hp at the wheels, and was officioly the fastest volvo in the UK! hes got an S14 200SX but has desided to make it a track day car and has got an S4 which he is in the middle of doing the RS4 conversion on! its going to be amazing! i like soarers tho come to think about it! i was going to get one for ages but there a nightmare to insure and get parts for! but for raraty you cant beet them! (it would have to be the 2.5 strait 6 twin turbo) rather than the V8 tho! Tricky

Sam is out now! Watching the eviction now! Maxwell looks a little desperate but at least, as someone said hes putting the leg work in! I think it’s a little boring this year! every year there are all nicely nicely until about 4 or 5 weeks in when they just flip out and kick off where as there just arguing all the time!

my lil bros Girl friend works in a cafe, a woman had her bag stolen from the cafe about 3weeks ago the police were called within 5mins and they said we are sending someone strait over! they still havnt been yet! worst thing about it is that the police station is litteraly and i meen literaly 50yards away from the cafe! they couldnt even be botherd to walk across the road! and tony blare wonders why the youth of today are out of controle! its because hes to busy thinking of new ways to spy on us all,like fitting black box recorders to our cars so he knows where we are, when, and which speed and time we are traveling at! its a joke! to quote pulp fiction "these fuckers should learn, you just dont fuck with another mans automobile!" sorry to hear about it hope by some quirk of fate they catch them!

1.25 seconds that’s mad! My mates got a 1974 ford cortina! He did have an XR4x4 engine in it board out to 4.7 or summit with twin turbos and a super charger and NOZ built it himself totally! It was road legal and was a proven 720hp, and 58psi boost! He only paid £64 per year insurance on it too and that was fully comp, with everything declared! But he said it wasn’t fast enough! 0-60 in 2.8seconds! (which compared to that cali is slow but compared to a GSXr1000 is about the right going!) lol anyway last time I saw him, he was dropping that engine for an 11litter chavy big block with only rear wheel drive! he said he wanted to go a bit quicker and pop wheelies! day job??????? lawn mower repair man! insane! lol Tricky

Ill look in to the TRL unit too! I want to do loads of stuff to it! Got loads of grand designs but its best to aim high and see where you get I find! I am really tempted by the top secret wide body kit but my girl friend says if I spend £4500 on a kit she wants an X5! So its swings and roundabouts lol Tricky

Sorry bud, I am dyslexic most times I run my posts through windows word first just to be on the safe side then copy them back in before posting! But I was getting excited about the FCD thing lol! (No offence taken btw i am 100% cool with it!) Ill remembers to try and not rev to the limiter! Has anyone seen a video on the net called red line? It might be well known it might not be! Got a great tune playing in the background, and there are some well nice cars in it! That’s pretty much the reason why I want a supra lol saw it like 2 ½ years ago and fell in love! Tricky
