    I came down in the dark. Didn't know dilddley about it. And definitely 75 quid out of pocket Shane.

    Oh. i put my info into the .gov site. i got one on the northbound side as well. 75 quid in total! No warning when i went over. No info on how to pay. What a bloody con!
  3. I dont post much any more, but what is this ****? Iv never heard of it. Just got home from a nice holiday to find i have a PCN from Dart Charge from when i went over the Dartford crossing down to dragonball v1... in may! Thats 5 months ago! Now, considering i go over the dartford crossing once a year (for dragonball) i went down. Went over the bridge expecting to pay... nothing. A load of roadworks, no booths. no barriers apart from the other side. So i assume, ok, they are doing them up or something, giving people a free ride while the roadworks are there. And on i go with my journey. So now i get this PCN. And it seems the ways you can pay, are by phone after, or in advance. (i assume after you have finished your journey, and not forgotten all about it). Walking into a shop and paying at a payzone thing. Or online. Im all for the future of the internet, moving forward with technology and all that. i work in IT for gods sake. and i love being able to pay for things with paypal. in the states, you can order a pizza from domino's just by sending them a pizza emoji in a text and they ship your favorite to you. But taking away the ability to pay then and there with cash? Thats ridiculous. And there seems (at least as a guy living in the midlands an hour from london) to be sod all info about it. I never saw any on my journey. How was i supposed to know how and where to pay. God its rediculous. p.s - I have had a very long day. im jetlagged and had no sleep on a 7 hour overnight flight. Then on the drive home my new evo 9 wagon i got from jurgen got hit by a fist sized rock on the bonnet. Lucky it didnt come through the windscreen. Then when i get home i find iv lost the back door key so i cant let the dog out for a piss. The neighbours have been throwing CD's, wine bottles and 6 volt batterys (yes those big massive ones) into my garden. and to top it off... some **** has knicked my bin!
  4. iv had 5 and 6 speeds and auto. i have a 6 speed single at the moment. If i was to get another supra. It would be a BPU auto. Easily fast enough, and a pleasure to drive.
  5. id like to come and put mine on as the last print out i have is for 520 before i got it. but i don't really know my work schedule untill the last min at the moment. so i might not be able to make it. Can i just turn up on the day and add my name to the list. i dont want to put my name down and be a no show.
  6. my 4" downpipe rubbed on a coolant line which almost ended badly. as the spacing back there when you get up to a 4" is close. it was also so rediculously loud i couldnt drive the car without getting a headache. wouldnt go near one again.
  7. I let mine pertinently on all the time.
  8. tt 6 speed i think. a) car is broken. b) not doing it properly. also "after owning a gtr" you say in your other post you have come from a 1000bhp gtr with a sequential box. you can hardly compare the two to be honest.
  9. Iv given up on speakers for the PC. You get much better sound though headphone imho. And iv got a nice wireless set so I can take a shit and still listen to my music .p
  10. Iv got one. It's very nice . Just got a regular boss kit on it. I do find that the indicators are a bit far away for my fingers than normal though.
  11. if they want a challenge they can clean mine
  12. Its gotta be manual because manual is the best... because reasons! pistonheads craps on anything that isnt manual, because if you drive an auto your wrist is a bit floppy... if you know what i mean... source - drove a auto supra for many years. better than the manual box tbh.
  13. Have been to the same place. Had it very sideways on the exit of that last corner . Definitely not the best track for a supra but sounds like you did very well.
  14. Jamiep had a few r35 carbon bits off them a while ago I think. Not sure what the fit was like though. I think Fibreglass is a lot easier to warp than carbon. So you can't realy compare a carbon bonnet to a bumper. Besides. You never get a bumper that needs no work.
  15. I had one. You might think it sounds amazing but you can't tell the volume from that video. It's a Horrendous thing imho, Too low to get over anything bigger than a peable on the road. Absolutely deafening. Even at idle it maxed the (crappy) iPhone db tester. Couldn't drive the bloody car with it on as it was embarrassing to drive down the road with it. Drove from Leicester to Northampton with it, and had to stop halfway to get some pain killers and have a break because it was so uncomfortable. Was glad to be rid of mine
  16. Where's that clip of me and that Beemer you said you got abz
  17. Yeah but it seems there are more people in the premier inn this time so wondered if it had moved
  18. Just saw add from my window. Glad he made it. [emoji594]. Can someone point me at a schedule. Or at least tell me when we are meeting and where as we are split up over 2 hotels. I'm on my mobile and can't find it.
  19. Here is mine on my AEM. no fancy antilag setting. just sat blipping the throttle. No flames just a big a crackle. Not sure id get any flames with a whifbitz 2 box setup. [video=youtube;Un-oETrb3uY]
  20. yeah forgot to mention. fuses are fine. guages are fine and all light up. just no cig lighter power or guage cluster lights :S Have put the dash back together now as its dragonball in a few days. But want to get it sorted at some point. I might have the dash appart again tomorrow anyway as i haven't had any air from my right side airvent since i remove the guage from it. must have been blocked off.
  21. I'm trying to sort out why my cig lighter doesn't work and also maybe why my dash lights don't work. As seems to be the case with most supras I own it's a bloody rats best of wires and I don't really know what I'm looking at. I have the L shaped plug with a blue/red and white/black wire going into it. The white/black one has a connector on it which just connects to more white/black. Like it should have something else in there The blue/red splits 2 times. Once into a pink cable that seems to join another set of 4 cables. One of which disappears down the passenger footwell. The other end goes behind the dash cluster somewhere. This set of wires has a blue wire. This one is just not connected. The other split goes to a green wire about 4 inches long. Also not connected. Any ideas?
