  1. and Whats the specification? Its in the best colour too, RED!!! Its a nice looking supra, even though it has a huuuuge veilside spoiler on the back Linda xx
  2. :blink:doh Can I borrow some spare brain cells please??? We're on here to be part of and enjoy other members entertainment, as well as supra stuff. Martin always delivers But you always get a killjoy or too I for one have no probs, its funny Lindaxx
  3. I went to study in Athens after I graduated and had spent 3 years learning modern greek prior to going over there. After 6 months i was thinking in both languages!! When someone spoke to me in Greek I would translate to English in my head then re-translate to Greek and out it tumbled!! resulted in time delays in the coversations but it was an interesting few months But when I came back, although I was being spoken to in Enlgish I would often begin to respond in Greek before the Engliush kicked in Most confused for several months after returning! Lx
  4. Yeah that. As he told you about the water problem and you still bought it, i hope he doesnt get funny about it if you ask for your money back as in 'sold as seen/described' If your having problems already, who knows what else is lurking undetected? Dont want to be a killjoy but I'd walk away. There are some good supra's out there, have a look on our 'for sale' section All the best whatever you decide and please dont let it put you off supra ownership. Linda x
  5. I know 'repost' will appear 2 seconds after I've posted it but hopefully theres enough new ones to raise a smile or two on a friday!!! Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every two hours? If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat? Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough? Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection? Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him? Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"? What is the speed of darkness? Are there especially reserved parking spaces for "normal" people at the Special Olympics? If it's true that we are here to help others, what are the others doing here? Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer? Do you cry under water? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? Did you ever stop and wonder...... Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?" Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it's bum." Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat? Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer? Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is? Why does your Obstetrician, Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway? Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs! Can blind people see their dreams? Do they dream ?? If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? (This one kills me !!!!) If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from? If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons? Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window? Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster? Lxx
  6. Hi mate You could start off by soaking your 2 O2 sensors in lemon juice for a few hours, brings them up a treat, takes off all the gunge It wont give you any massive gains in performance but if the sensors are registering the air flow incorrectly it will affect your performance. Have you had it dyno'd as these cars loose a few ponies over the years. I would imagine if its dipped below the 220bhp mark you should be able to bring it back up. You need to know what you have to play with first though The garage that serviced mine dyno'd an N/A that was only putting out 195 bhp and got it back up to 220bhp without any problems or engine modifications and the owner is really chuffed. EDIT: i cleaned my sensors and along with the new sparks its smoother, quieter and the mpg is up. All good! Lxx
  7. Hi Steph Can you get someone here to photoshop them if your looking for a visual?? Yep, I love this place, its, erm...interesting at times but its a great place to be. Have to give a BIG UP!! to the mods as well for keeping things running smoothly. They've been great over the dispute I have Made some great new friends too.... Lxx
  8. Bus ticket to Gatwick from owners home??? The cars worth £250K and theres a bus ticket in his expenses?? Or is that what hes been reduced to after paying for that lot? Lx
  9. WIll it just be on the doors Nick? or the dash etc too? Unless the quality is absolutley spot on its easy for it to look a bit tacky. Then theres the issue of do you put carbon anywhere else and where do you stop without it looking like its had a long stay at halfrauds??? lol Its whatever you feel is right at the end of the day. Wouldnt that money be better spent on engine and suspension mods? that 700 could go a good way to a nice set of coilovers Lxx
  10. Too much rice wine...hic!!! It looks a neat package but then its down to individual taste - whatever floats your boat! Lxx
  11. Its unbelieveable! Hopefully theres light at the end of the tunnel and its in good hands now. All the best with it Jon I'm delighted your lady is so supportive/tolerant. So many guys here have partners who hate they're mans supra or can barely tolerate it Looking forward to meeting her before long, when are you bringing her to a meet? Japshow?? Lxx
  12. wind farm??! is it Gaz now or Gas?! lol Lxx

  14. thats probably why its on chat not tech just my 2p worth Its different but you'll need to go over it with sticky tape after every drive to get rid of the fluff good to see something different though Lx
  15. wow! It looks fantastic! So much hard graft went into it you should be immensely proud. although I note you got your lady doing the mucky work in the pond Superb, top job fellah Linda x
  16. oh dear, it clashes with WSBK do they have a big screen with eurosport on?? Lx
  17. Bound to be a repost but its monday so why not Next time you’re on an elevator and feel alittle bored, liven up the moment with some of these insightful ideas. Guaranteed to make heads turn or your money back. When there’s only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn’t you. Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more. Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor you’re on. Swat at flies that don’t exist. Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, “Shut up, all of you, just shut up!” Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, “Got enough air in there?” Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they’d like to play. Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on, ask them if they hear something ticking. Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones. Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers. Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off. Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, and then announce, “I have new socks on.” Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, “This is my personal space!” Fart loudly then exclaim “Was that you. There’s no way I could do that one because unfortunately mine don’t come out loud.” Before the elevator door opens shout “DING” and then laugh and say “beat you again Mr Elevator.” Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally. Hire a labrador, wear sunglasses and repeatedly walk into the walls whilst pretending to not hear the other passenger’s direction. Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream, “that’s mine!” Hold the doors open and say you’re waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say, “Hi Greg. How’s your day been?” Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, “You’re one of THEM!” and back away slowly. Lxx

    Getting back to the original thread ..... Another thing hacks me off about taxi drivers, regardless of ethnicity is the fact that when they pick up/drop you off and realise you dont live on some trashed council estate they hike the price up Linda
  19. I love that red MkIII with the anthracite spokes/polished lip, very tasty Lx
  20. Do you not need a rear brake light to get it through its MOT nowadays? As long as you like it Very tidy L
  21. Your in danger of notching up more miles than me All those pancakes will make you heavy and kill your mpg hun Lxx
  22. I think joining shrop jap cars this time around seems a good idea but after that we'll organise our own get together, eh?? Everyone ok with that? Pete or Martz, can you post a linky for us that havent been there and what road is the car park on btw? thanks Lx
  23. erm, yes but then I've had too many arguements from guys and crap behaviour so decided enough was enough, its just me and the supra....for now One thing tho chap, passive smoking is damaging too, can you put that over to her before she bites your head off? if she loves you back surely she wouldnt want to put you at risk. can she cut down a little?? better than nothing
  24. beats stamp collecting! impressive, I'm very jealous keep up the good work!! Lx
  25. sad to hear it Kieran. did she smoke when you met her and if so did it bother u then and did you discuss it? If there are other things your arguing about it may just be symptomatic of the situation you are both in as a whole and its manifesting itself in the smoking thing. Is there something upsetting her at the moment? Any stresses in her life, worries, problems at work or with her family? She could be striking out at you purely because your nearest and its not intentional. If she wont talk now, perhaps some time apart - no calls even, let her have some space and yourself too - may let her and you calm down and be able to stand back a little and look at it more coolly in a few days. Only you know your situation the best as you are in it and we are not. wish you all the best dealing with it hun Linda xx
