  1. If anyone else drops out let me know. I am in Derby so can pick up too.
  2. In the altezza's case it was piston rings.
  3. In two years we have never had to top the oil up between services. My altezza drank it but I then found out the engine was on it's way out r.i.p.
  4. There are more about that I thought! When I say outskirts of oakwood I mean derwent heights but just round the corner all the same.
  5. Nice one. Always good to meet a local owner. Cars looking very smart. What area of Derby are you in? I live over towards Oakwood. Seen a few about over the years. Last week I passed a red one, a silver one and a black one in the space of 4 days just around Derby!
  6. please can I attend your next meet? another Derby supra here.
  7. I had this the other day after fitting a new stereo. I took the dash back off and traced it to a loose connection round the heater controls. Made sure all the connectors were plugged in, refitted the dash panels and it's been fine since. Don't know if this helps.

  9. Hi I have a set of plastic headlights that were re-furbed by gazerojon last year for sale. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220224040259&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=012 Going to let the auction run as I have had a bid now. If a uk forum member wins them I'll do free postage.
  10. No worries. They looked good on our balck car.
  11. I have some re-furbished ones on ebay at the moment but they are facelift style (dark inside). http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220224040259&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=012

  13. After going through a quote on the phone I was told I would get a call back with the price. This was last Thursday. I was told by another person in the office on Friday that I would get a call back. Got fed up waiting so I went with another insurer. Guy on the phone did seem to know what he was talking about though. Just a shame I never got a call back. I'll try sky again next year.
  14. I'm looking forward to being a parent. At least my Caroline wants to keep the supra. Maybe thats helping with me looking forward to it.
  15. My caroline is due in June and she uses the supe for a daily driver. She is finding it a bit of a struggle to get in and out but coping ok. I'm waiting for the day she can't do it any more and we have to swap cars.
  16. Cheers, Downloading now.
  17. Parked in the car park near to Rock City last night. Was thinking we are the only ones to brave the speed bumps in the supe. Looked very nice.
  18. Good to meet a fellow Derby supra owner. Hope you get it fixed soon.
  19. Bad luck. Hope you get it sorted soon. Where abouts in derbyshire are you?

    Going veggie.

    I've been veggie since the age of 9 and as long as you eat sensibly there is no reason why it should make you unhealthy. My Caroline is vegan, pregnant and has just been told by her midwife she is the healthiest client she has had.
  22. Some for sale here mate: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=136138
  23. Seen this about. Think it lives up the road. Saw him going sideways off a roudabout in the rain a few months back.
