  1. I don't blame the punter! YOUR A SECOND HAND CAR SALES MAN. [sHOCK][/sHOCK] The scourge of any punter whether they be buying or selling. [GRIN][/GRIN]

  3. Death by lethal injection - up his man hole. Headline 'Pork driver gets porking in prison'.
  4. Shouldn't you change your name to Nottsphil?[GRIN][/GRIN]
  5. However many people did claim that my 205 was haunted and I should take it to my local exorcist. Swearing and gratuitous profanities were often heard from the drivers seat during the dawn and sunset rush hour grid lock.
  6. It could've been the nth repost but it is pant wettingly . just listen to that guy scream! and there's nowt they can do!! Funny but only cos they were unscathed.

    engine abuse?

    Oh that's okay. I was just checking.
  8. What happens is the electric current tries to find the next best path of least resistance. I had something similar happen to my old 205 GTi whenever you indicated the headlights flashed. Took alot of staring at the circuit diagram to work that one out.

    Supra insurance

    Because it's just another excuse to make more money! Probably a fallacy or myth that parts are hard to come-by when it comes to repairs, have to specially ordered, estimating replacement values etc.
  10. Oh definitely paranoid. When I bought my Supra privately. I went round to look at it. Test drove it. And more or less asked for all made a note of all those details. And then did an HPI. Put yourself in their place would you part with your hard earned cash for something that may well be bogus?
  11. Well somebody spent £42K when he bought mine brand new 12 years ago. £50K is nothing these days. [GRIN][/GRIN][sHOCK][/sHOCK]

    engine abuse?

    You lazy git! You can run 0.3 mile in less than a 2 mins without breaking into a sweat. Are you one of those muscle mary meat heads who do 3 reps of 1 tonne, grunting and then make out like they've had a top workout?[GRIN][/GRIN]
  13. Are you related to Jade Goody? [sHOCK][/sHOCK]
  14. The worrying part was when he took a left turn. I half expected him to pop out again behind me. [sHOCK][/sHOCK] It'll probably be on an episode of Police Camera Action. [GRIN][/GRIN] 'Look at this idiotic Supra racing an unmarked traffic cop'.
  15. Today on my Sunday afternoon drive I came up behind a metallic sky blue 56 plate Honda Accord near Tewkesbury. Everytime the road was clear, he'd floor it. So I obligingly returned the favour. Typical Gloucestershire country B roads heading out towards the Malvern hills. Speed increased to about 80-90 leps, he could n't lose me and I couldn't overtake him as the roads were too narrow and twisty. Then we came up behind a proper Sunday driver and proceedings slowed down to a leisurely crawl. It was then I noticed the what looked like a rear facing 'camera', a whole load of other stuff mounted on the dash, a rear view mirror for the passenger and the fluoro green jacket!! I hope he was off duty. [sAD][/sAD]

  17. Top!!! Fishman gets my vote as the next President of the UK.
  18. I think if I told that to your car, she'll be very upset that you've swapped your manual for an autobox? The issue of fuse removal was with respect to auto not manual box. So I understand, removing the fuse is still not a good move.
  19. With a $/£ exchange rate at nearly 2:1 there has never been a better time to buy from the US. It's a bargain even if you paid the duty. Prices in the UK are such a rip-off. You're paying extra for somebody else to take the risk of late or non-delivery. And only a remote risk at that. Those TRD strut braces were on sale in the UK for £180 to £250!! I got them for £80 each. The duty was bugger all. I bought two and flogged one on eGay for £150. KERCHINGGG
  20. I replaced my sides with PIAA led bulbs and they look TOP!!
  21. I'm looking at the last thing (TRD strut braces) I had sent over from the US and the blurb that came from FedEx says to be classed as a gift... The total value must not exceed $50!! And HM Costumes & Excuses have the final say. The crate will be worth more than $50. GOOD LUCK!!!
  22. Mine is still fitted with the stock OEM TC not RLTC. When I enquired about disabling it the TC by removing the fuse the advice was don't as it messes up the autobox. Just use the TC off button. Off for a beer now so I'll catch on those threads tomorrow.
  23. I'll have that if G10ECK changes his mind. Send me a PM!
  24. Yeah excellent advice. Pulling the TC fuse can severely mess up the auto transmission.

    And how much tyre tread do you need to start off with before you're down to the fabric carcass?
