  1. Nicht offenze taken mein Englishe kluge scheisse. Vhen I vas at Geneva Motoren Show back in ze 1991 Ich vas zo imprezz mit ze grossen Supra. How do der Japonische untermenschen mass produce ze indicators?
  2. Look more like Dana International if you ask me.
  3. He's a Supra owner. Of course he can.
  4. I seen this one before. It's all front, a fascade, it's got no back wall. I think it's a king size bill poster. That's why you can only see the front.
  5. Sounds like a touch of sciatica. Some where along your spine, a disc/soft tissue is pressing on the spinal chord/sciatic nerve. The pain is felt in the legs. Initially it's an ache in one butt cheek then it as time goes on, you get pain down the back of your hamstrings and even as far as the calf. Am I right? It is treatable. There's a system I used by a New Zealander called Mackenzie (google it). He did this book. It does work. Trust me. I spent a fortune with osteopaths, chiropractors and shiatsu. Waste of money.
  6. And a Supe but not all at the same time. Also I like running fast in a pair of Asics 2160. Here's some sound advice - buy low, sell high.
  7. It was BMW. When their engineers first clapped eyes on the MkIV Supra.
  8. You can get a brilliant bicycle for £3K!. Mine cost me £2.5K comes with a carbon fibre frame and weighs 16 lbs. And you can wear as much lycra as you like. But on the weekends I like dressing up in Alpinestars leathers, Shoei and go poncing around on a Daytona 675.
  9. I know what you mean. I was fed up to the eyeballs with the number of people who said they wouldn't sponsor me because diabetes is self-inflicted. W4nkers!!! So is lung cancer if you smoke and liver cirrohsis if you're an alcoholic. But it didn't stop me raising £2360 this year for Diabetes UK on the London Marathon.
  10. That is the MAX anybody can lose safely. It's training everyday twice a day but is purely cardiovascular with minimum weights/resistance training. Muscle weighs more than fat. I did this earlier this year as every kilo of fat/muscle is a kilo or litre of water I could be carrying/drunk. But not on a pub crawl race - in a long distance run. More than this and you'll overstress yourself.
  11. I'm not talking about Type 1 (no ability to produce insulin). My brother is Type 2. He's been diabetic for 30 years. When he was diagnosed, he weighed 17 stones. Not bad a 5 ft 8" tall 15 old school boy. His condition is for being clinically obese from eating junk! My mother is 78 not overweight but is also Type 2 through old age since she was 67. Both have had cataract operations, gout, circulation problems, heart conditions, blood pressure issue, etc, etc. Sorry mate you're wrong it's still a killer. And as it's family I've had to live with this as well. That's why I beat myself up raising money by running for people like my brother, my mother and you.
  12. A diet CAN work but only if combined with exercise. Starve yourself and your body goes into famine mode and actually holds onto fat. It's evolved from caveman days. Any apparent overnight weight loss is just water which is easily replaced in a few seconds by drinking a glass. This is the classic yoyo weight that people often see. Do eat but eat sensibly and exercise. You can safely lose 6 lbs per week. A 20 mins jog around the block is all it takes. At least 3 times/week.
  13. That's what gyms want, people like you who pay their subs and then stop going after a week. PLEASE DON'T GIVE THEM THE SATISFACTION! If everybody who signed up all showed up at the same time it'd be one big lycra clad grid lock of sweaty muscle. You don't have to spend a fortune at a gym (£30-50/mth). A brisk walk to work or cycle ride or like me RUN to work. Yes I know it goes against the Way of The Supra but do this 3 times a week and you will notice the difference. The whole point is to raise the metabolism at the start of the day so that even when you're sitting at your desk you're still burning fat. Trust me it does work. Christ my knees are killing me.
  14. I think I'm a member with an actual opinion in disguise.
  15. You may larf but I keep Japanese koi carp (keeping with the Japanese theme). Okay you can't cuddle them or take them for walks but you do get quite attached to them. Anyway one of them (a 15" long Kohaku) died back in summer. It got stressed out by a hungry heron that came every morning. And it died. And I cried. No wheelie bin and no burial. It was probably the most expensive fish dinner I've ever had.
  16. It's really quite simple - you can eat whatever and as much as you like BUT YOU'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS. Energy-in minus energy-out. I climb, cycle, run 10Ks, half marathons and the odd marathon. After every race I tuck into a ... KFC and a bottle of Chateau Neuf Du Pape (red wine to you peasants). I even got KFC UK to sponsor me for the 2006 London marathon. The irony was I was running for Diabetes UK as both my brother and mum are diabetic. Keep working out because diabetes is a killer. It won't get you straight away but will cause loads of problems in the long run.
  17. I test drove a Rex8. Very girlie, so girlie infact I couldn't park it, drove in the middle lane on the motorway at 30 leptons, got lost on a roundabout and developed an inability to read maps. Plus side is all the mirrors are turned towards you, the bog seat is always down and I was always right.
  18. You're gonna need more than £1K for a Supra. Good luck mate. We could all help you out by bumping up the bidding. Yeah? A mate of mine did it all the time. I don't want to be the guy who wins a £25K Pug!
  19. Security guards!! We had a spate of thefts from the office in this large engineering firm I work in. Somebody was pinching loose change from the desk drawers. Then it graduated to pens, calculators, laptops etc. Yep you guessed - it was the night security guard. He had a prison record with the needle stuck on repeat. He got caught when he was filmed loading a Ford Tranny with the design office CAD workstations. He forgot to switch off the CCTV!! To be fair you shouldn't have named BARRY MASON. He may be innocent.

    Follow TLicence's method. I used smooth black Hammerite. No need for a primer and the finish is a super smooth high gloss.
  21. Only if he was carrying an organ donor card. That's why it's a state funeral option.
  22. I agree, the standard Supra lights are useless. Don't mess around with coloured 'Xenon' bulbs. What's a blue tint going to do? I replaced the dips with HIDs. Well worth it. So good you don't even need to use mains.
  23. I must stop fcuking bl00dy w4nking sh1t cnut bollox t055ing swearing. Is this the kn0bbing tourettes rehab ar5ehole forum?
  24. Ooops p1ssed meself larfing so much. Thank god/allah/buddah I was wearing me incontinence pants! I must filling in a load of comments on the Gloucestershire Echo.
  25. Very lucky. If you hit 70 mph they'd stuck you in a prison like the one in Midnight Express and your monkey wouldn't have been the only thing getting spanked.
