  1. When mine was in a local bodyshop, none of the guys would drive it as they were too scared of it. I was most suprised! The foreman had to drive it 2 miles to the Toyota garage and back and moaned and moaned and moaned about having to take it as he was worried something would happen to it. I did wonder if they thought it was worth a lot of money or something lol..
  2. It's got to be a Landcruiser surely? That ticks all the boxes quite nicely. The newer ML's are better, but they still don't have a fantastic reliability record. I'm not sure when the point of change over is either?
  3. My last boss used to make noises like that when he ate
  4. Blimey mate, lucky escape. I think you were mad overtaking there on that road in this weather though to be honest, sorry. That road is lethal at the best of times, it's always slippery. And that bridge is on a crest so can be quite blind too. Be a good learning experience though eh, hope you feel better soon.
  5. Looks like it's a good job I didn't turn up in the end, would have looked like a bloody marketing stunt for Rota GTR wheels! Who turned up in the Celica with the personality disorder? It thinks it's a GT-Four
  6. Isn't that against the law anyway, reversing on to a public highway? Agree on the rest though. I think this is generally a sign of society and the way it has gone or is heading. People in general just don't care any more, everybody is becomming selfish and self-centred, intent only on themselves being 'ok'. Peoples driving standards really annoy me, I do my best to drive at a sensible distance away from people, indicate my intentions, get on the side of a junction I need to be (this winds me up, people turning right but so far left you could get another car up their outside), be polite and acknowledge other people. Even as a pedestrian, saying thanks to people who stop on crossings. The little things go a long way..
  7. Lol.. brilliant, just what I would have done too Got any hard hats??
  8. Christ! And I thought I'd met some nuts women, she makes them all look sane.. Nice mistake in the text:
  9. What prices have you found them going for? Take an average, and a little bit off and you've got the value of your car. You're trying to find a value that would allow you to get the same car in the current market, obviously a little less than the non-CAT-damaged cars but not far off.
  10. The whole point is that it's 'happy slapping' where you get your friend to video it and you slap some random passer by. Just happened this time that the passer-by knew what to do!
  11. I like that only the girls on here have called fake so far
  12. Other way round mate, free cig lighter but $70 for installation
  13. I saw it first and thought somebody had gone to the lengths of that for a joke. But art? Really?
  14. You can have corner specific tyres, so that could happen. He said that it could have happened whilst in for a service. Apart from that, very good!
  15. His moves were very kickboxer, he was very quick on his feet. Brilliant though, serves the chav muppets right.
  16. It doesn't matter what you turn up in, it's not just about the cars, it's also about like-minded people meeting up for a bit of a social!
  17. Could be a knackered dump valve. Have you got silicon hoses? Could be a split on one, as they're not always visible but will push open under boost and cause a sound.

    What Seats?

    My experience is the opposite to yours, I didn't like my standard seats at all (standard UK leathers) as they gave me back ache, also as they were shallow sides they didn't hold me in very well. I've got Recaro SR's now (same as OEM) and I find them a lot better, I can drive the car any distance and not have back ache at all. I'm quite a big bloke though, 6' and 16 stone.
  19. No! You're yanking my chain?!
  20. I bought a 'normal' car to get in every day, and all it does is bloody break down. Stick with the Supra! And no, like I said my girlfriends GT-Four is a pig and has gone very very wrong in the last year. Suspension twice, fuel tank, exhaust, spoiler broke, it's now blown a gasket too.. the list goes on!
  21. Actually, just seen you have a non-turbo so it's probably a 5-speed? Not sure if they have the type of flywheel?
  22. Rattle could be the standard flywheel too if it is on the way out. Being dual mass it can cause strange symptoms. Best to inspect it on the clutch change or just change it anyway.
  23. That lambo grey Supra is absolutely gorgeous!!
  24. It'll need to be a very large external drive though, proper TV-quality video clips take up a lot of space!
