  1. I got mine from USA (when the £ was strong ). Just search ebay. I did a quick search and got this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-Truck-Parts-Accessories__CLEAR-BUMPER-SIDEMARKER-LIGHTS-7-98-TOYOTA-SUPRA-Mk-IV_W0QQitemZ310104940811QQadiZ2865QQadnZCarQ20Q26Q20TruckQ20PartsQ20Q26Q20AccessoriesQQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item310104940811&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A543|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318
  2. I've never seen one I like. There's too much other stuff to spend money on to bother me in the slightest. The only thing I do like is that my import can have a small plate legally!
  3. Anyone else think the guy from Little Chef is a bit of a kn0b? He seems to think their customers want exploding steaks etc but the quick survey HB did shows the complete opposite. I think HB is right and little chef are using it as a PR stunt and they have no intention of doing his stuff nationwide but will nick his ideas. Tonights show will be interesting! I reckon HB is the wrong guy for the job and GR's 'kitchen nightmares' approach would work better but I bet GR was too expensive and they were a bit scared of him!
  4. Yup, that's the pdf I've got.
  5. Not sure where the thread is you're talking about but I have a pdf file explaining how to paint the spark plug cover. PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.

    CNC Machinists

    I agree that laser machining might be a better option for you. Try http://www.laser-engraving-limited.com/index.html. They did some laser engraving of text into a piece of Oak for me and they did an awesome job at a very good price. I was amazed by the level of detail they could do. They do laser cutting of all sorts of things too. They had some metal pieces around the showroom but I didn't look closely at them as it wasn't relevant to what I wanted. I did see some photographs they engraved onto acetate though which looked v. good and I've got loads of ideas of things to do now!
  7. Bet Jurgens a bit annoyed! Nah, scrap that, he'll just go out for a drive to put the smile back on. Personally I don't worry much about what other people think about this sort of thing. It's an amazing car and anyone who gets one does so because they like it.
  8. What I don't get is when she says So she really wanted to have to look at his charred old fella for the rest of their marriage? And did she really expect him to stay with her if he had recovered? Me thinks her brain logic switch has malfunctioned in a major way. Lock 'er up! Glad they uprated the charges to murder - talk about pre-meditated and over-reacting!
  9. I've already got the shed..........
  10. I asked Steve Manley at Toyota a while ago. Thread at http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=158779&highlight=v160
  11. Nooooo......and I searched! doh! /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_oops.gif

  14. Never any issues with Firefox on my pc. Shouldn't it say 'you need to restart to complete updates' (or something like that) rather than just restarting itself? Mine does.
  15. I thought tyre warmers were a safety thing as well as performance? Yup they grip better from the start so surely that's a good thing rather than everyone heading towards an early corner with tyres that don't grip? Wasn't cold tyres a contributing factor to Senna dying?
  16. I used to do this but when the battery died in the middle of no where and Mr AA came to my rescue he linked the -ve to the lifting eye as described earlier. When I asked why he did this he showed me the explosive symbol on the battery and explained that they sometimes give off fumes that can explode - especially old batteries like mine! Fair enough I said, I'll connect to the lifting eye in the future too then! No risk at all of sparks. I've also had issues with my stereo tripping out when I've jumped the battery. (Just disconnected the -ve, left for about an hour and it re-sets itself but a PITA none the less). Mr AA said to turn on your lights when jumping and any spike charge will go to the lights rather than stereo. No it wont blow the lights apparently.
  17. £41k spent but the engine looks pretty stock. 470+BHP from stock turbos? Am I being stupid or where's the money gone?
  18. I saw a pic of one on here recently which had twin custom exhausts. Might be worth searching for if you're that bothered! I think the owner had it custom made so prob not cheap but it did look good!
  19. Oooh yeah - but how can it have done 87k miles with 0 previous owners?
  20. I just got engaged and bought a bigger house. We're moving into our new house between Xmas and New Year. Yay!
  21. Indeed, the photographer does hold the copyright of the image. However, isn't there a professional and moral obligation to the client if they're trading as professional photographers and charging for their work? I take it you're being facetious! I don't see how making the photo NOT look like the parents child is trying to help. Sorry if I'm having a sense of humour failure here and I appreciate sarcastic humour immensely but I also want to defend my profession!
  22. Tidy stock! Mine was the gunmetal a few bays away!
  23. If you're a cash buyer just put the offer on the table and wait. A friends brother put an offer in of £150k cash for a £300k flat, was laughed out of the office but got a call 1 month later taking him up on it. The developers just said 'don't tell anyone'! You're only really likely to have success doing this if you're a cash buyer and if it's a new development that the developers need to sell for cash flow. But nothing ventured, nothing gained so go for it!
  24. I do a lot of school photos and I'm always aware of removing moles/birthmarks by mistake. I do a lot of B&W conversions and often it's difficult to distinguish a small mole from a spot or even some food etc around the mouth of a smaller child when it's in B&W I often refer back to the colour original to try to determine what to remove but, believe it or not, it is often difficult to decide. I have a company policy though that if any parent comments that a distinguishing mark is removed by mistake we will re-print the photo correctly for free. I once removed a tiny mole from a shot of my gf and she said straight away 'but without the mole it's not me' - lesson learnt! I do spend a lot of time removing spots, runny noses, food and so on but that's just to make the photo look nice for the parents and justifiable in my book. I do not do the fake, smoothe skin airbrushing that some photographers to do portraits - that's just too fake and I hate it. I have removed cold sores, excema, scratches, bruises, black eyes and so on and have had many comments of thanks from parents for not changing their child but just smoothing out temporary skin conditions. However, in this case that photographer was absolutely wrong to remove such a birth mark (I wouldn't dream of doing so) and should be taken to task over it and a reprint demanded. If they refuse take it up with any professional body he/she's a member of as it's a big error in my view!
  25. I got exactly that car from Jurgen as an import for just under £13K. Couldn't find a low milage one anywhere in the UK so imported. Prob spent a little more than necessary but I got what I wanted so am happy!
