  1. true suffering is good for the soul
  2. They were flag stones outside a church, theyd gone slimey from the tree debris. Can't really sue a church? Have this problem at the church I help out at in Leicester and regular scrubbing with bleach usually keeps it at bay Getting pins and needlles now.....oh er....
  3. Ta Ed, I'm a tough cookie, it'll be fine although it was a so and so driving it back from its service/MOT today, being a manual Oh dear thanks Andy, bruise coming out, looks like a chupa chup will see how it is tomorrow, the thought of sitting in A&E for 2 hours doen't really appeal but may be worth checking

    Hi

    Can't be any worse than my German which is non-existant! Keep looking at the Classified's here on the forum - you will get a well looked after car. Its worth waiting for the right specification L
  5. Slipped on a greasy flagstone, instintively put hand out and now have swelling on hand like a golf ball and arm aches like hell Apart from ice, and ibuprofen, any suggestions to ease my aches and pains? Apart from being less clumsy in future ta chaps
  6. there's an email contact. but....does look far too good to be true. Maybe that wide arch kit is to hide bodywork that got mangled in a bad crash, could be a high category write off? either that or he doesnt have a clue about its real worth

    Tyres

    .....and gold leaf???!
  8. Whys that then Ed?? I'd give my right arm for a body double so I can slob out and eat chocolate and cakes all day
  9. Just been googling as it sounds intriguing, only had it happen a couple of times and thought the house was haunted and some blasted ghost was sitting on my chest http://sleepdisorders.about.com/cs/sleepparalysi1/a/soundssp.htm L
  10. Don't mean to sound obvious but if your engine's overheating it could trigger eng warning light? Have you checked your coolant levels too? If it returns to low even after topping up you may have a leak, check your pipes and rad for leaks....... Hope you get it sorted and its nothing serious L
  11. Depends on the condition too. If its mint it won't need much work, if there's any cracks or scuffs it may need filling so you would give him less. Always fun to haggle anyway Its rare though.......even though Blackie's got it Lx

    Hi

    and What is the German for "Welcome to the looney bin???" Are you looking to import from the UK or just looking in Germany? Good look with your searching and I hope you find your perfect Supra very soon Linda x
  13. Try looking at a road atlas lol There's Hopwood Park just off J2, Tammworth Services just off the A5/J10 M42
  14. to supra life Enjoy!! Its a beauty Looks more like the bumper doesnt fit too well rather than any problems with the boot as boot appears flush with the rear quarters. Hope you get the problems sorted and look forward to seeing you at some meets soon Where abouts in Staffs are you btw? some of us are meeting at Six Hills pub north of Leicester if you can make it next week Sunday 24th, look in Midlands section of meets for more details. Linda x
  15. Hi Den There is no group buy, they do a discount for the club, just mention us and you can order at anytime. L
  16. aw, they're gorgeous Ed. Hard to believe they'll be terrorising wildlife and gouging holes out of your furniture in a few months time to get the new mum splayed and pops hobbled Cant believe he actually caught her to be so naughty Lx

    supra n/a power

    A jump from a FWD 109 bhp hatch to a 326 bhp RWD turbo supra is a biggie. Its not just about raw power but how you handle it. You can get the back end of an NA out easy enough in the wet and its no slouch. I went from an 109bhp hatch to a (appx ) 220bhp NA and after spinning it out a couple of times and snaking its tail got used to how these beasties handle. You soon learn to respect the car if you don't you'll bin it in the nearest hedge, be it a TT or NA, manual or auto. If you can get a couple of supra owners to take you out, one in a standard TT and the other in an NA you can get a fair idea without splashing out money up front. L
  18. I did win the lottery yesterday!! only a tenner though, may get me as far as Tammworth Lxx
  19. sensible?? stuff sensible, get her a turbo
  20. Just checked the miles, 72 there same back thats about half a tank of fuel I'm still jobless so can't do it this time but maybe next time? Sorry guys, was really looking forward to it too Lxx
  21. :badidea:Sunday is Trax at Silverstone otherwise I'd go, sorry!
  22. Email him and ask him to make a supra I make car models from kits so I can't say 'owt tbh But the proportions look accurate and, besides, there are worse things people can do to fill their spare time I'd say determination and dedication rather than obsession L
  23. Good excuse for a mini meet me thinks
  24. I should hope so too!!! top man L
