Stunning car and close by. Tried my luck but the bid sadly didn't cut it

Got the followup with the consultant next week and it's one of the things i am going to ask. Apart from being overweight i was said to be otherwise perfectly healthy. I got sent to BUPA through work as the police have a private deal with them for occupational health stuff and one of the docs there said it could have been down to dehydration which could add up as i was floored for a day or so with the usual case of diarrohea from being in Egypt but made sure i had sank plenty of water and hardly touched any booze on the trip itself after that. Other thing is family history of clots but i don't think there is anything immediate on either of my parents' side. Other thing i meant to add is make sure you have health insurance all documented and sorted for taking with you. Luckily enough (if you could call it lucky!) is that it happened on Egypt>Glasgow coming home at the end of my holiday, if it occurred on the outbound flight and i came down with that over there i dread to even think what might have happened:taped:

Thanks guys. Scott - still getting my INR blood level checked every fortnight and it's ok thankfully, hopefully off warfarin after the six months as it is a bit of a pain. Alcohol is basically been a no-go as with the blood already thinned before i drink i ended up with absolutely stinking hangovers akin to my younger days from justa quiet night in and three or four tinnies....horrible. And the doctors tried to scare me off with horror stories about people getting pissed on nights out, getting a smack and not noticing due to being sloshed and then dying due to internal bleeding with the blood being thin ! The whole ago thing spooked me too, everybody i speak too knows "an uncle" or "a friend of my dads" who's had the same thing happen or is on the warfarin but never anyone my age. One plus side is i have enough 50mg tramadol pills stocked up to get a horse high :thanku:

Arrived back from Egypt at the end of June and after getting off the plan felt like i had a calf strain similar to playing football. A day or so later it was at the stage where i was struggling to walk without excruciating pain. Went into my local A + E and was referred to attend for an ultra sound scan on the calf the next day to determine if had contracted deep vein thrombosis on the calf. This came back all clear and i was given the thumbs up by the doctor and nurse saying there was no clot which i thought was very odd as i was in real pain and could not put full weight on my left leg. A couple of days later i started getting shooting pains across the front left of my chest which progressively got worse as i breathed in or out. Back into hospital i went, ended up being kept overnight and following a heart scan, ECG and chest x-ray all coming back as negative i was taken for a precautionary CT scan and told i had contracted multiple blood clots in my lungs - the initial DVT was missed as it had broken off and travelled round my body - which were causing this pulmonary embolism which blocked the main arteries into my lungs. Ended up spending five days in hospital and now on drugs to thin my blood potentially for the rest of my days. I got a fair bit of a fright - mainly caused by not moving or getting up for a pee on a 5+ hour flight back from Sharm El Sheikh. It's now three months on and i've just started back at work. Still get pain and absolutely puffed out knackered after doing just an easy day on reduced hours and slowly trying to build back up to something like full fitness. So if you are going on any kind of flight make sure you and your family/friends keep moving about and don't sit on your bum for the duration; don't be naive and think you'll be ok as i'm only 26, took the same attitude and according to the consultant was very, very close to being a goner.

+1 for me too, depending on date/location.

Thats the car back and looking a lot better (touch wood it doesn't happen again) also very kindly touched up a wee nick in the drivers side mirror which i hadn't even noticed myself.

Guy who's done work on the supra before has said he'll respray the door and sill and tidy up another couple of small blemishes for £200 cash, thats cracking is it not?

This has got my head spinning now. New chap moved in next door a couple of months ago. He has has own business and works van................painter and decorater.

Sorry i added a closer up picture below. I thought a scraper at first? It's literally right through to the base layer metal. The body shop and my neighbor thought it was a corrosive liquid the way the paint has peeled off and just kind of dribbled away onto the sill? But i didn't think a liquid would burn all the way through to the metal the way the picture shows.

Went out to my car last night to head off to the Scotland game only to be greeted by this lovely sight http://j.imagehost.org/0898/supra2.jpg http://i.imagehost.org/0331/supra.jpg What fucking pleasure does anyone get out of doing this to someones car? Absolute scumbags of the highest order. :no: At first i thought it was done by a chisel or something similar but looking for closely it looks like three drops / blobs of some corrosive liquid the way it sort of thins out as it goes lower before almost dribbling onto the sill.

A LOT more interesting that it sounds, very neatly done http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=tippexperience&annotation_id=annotation_820885&feature=iv

UK and JDM non turbos are the same car pretty much mechanically, only real difference were cosmetic options like air con, front fogs, leather interior, better speaker, etc on the UK models. Everything else should be the same. So if it's an N/A jspec he has then anything UK bits should be fine and vice versa.

Don't get a GTO, you'll regret it.......

That stubbed AK47 in the first set of pictures is stunning.

Nice car and price, if it was a manual i might have gobbled it up as a run around for the Mrs'
