Exactly the 'skill' is don't do it in the first place!! Although in truth touching the gas to go right is nothing new, but i do believe the Khumos i had on at the time, didn't help!!!

4 Wheels is what you need definately, even though i am 36 and class myself an experienced driver, it's so easy to lose control of RWD when it isn't bone dry. Wasn't even racing the STI he was trying to drive me off the road and up my backside, so put my foot on the gass to turn right and hey presto - game over.......not even a rush of blood to the head, but merely to get out of a situation!

Lost mine in the wet once it goes it goes and no amount of skill will save you........just have to be sensible ALL the time.

Class machine and make a Supra look well and truely a Chav's car. I am thinking of getting one

I did go for a TT Supra, but there isnt much in it between NA and TT. THAT WAS A JOKE RIGHT - IF NOT YOUR TURBOS CAN'T WORK!!

No more so than any other performance car i expect - But i suppose your one of these drivers that has never had an accident! It's my premium that takes the brunt of it, not yours! Anyway, you come from Wales so what do you know

However - I did toy with the idea of a J-Spec if mine was written off, as there are some absolute beauties for silly money.....

Yes but it's a UK and these hold a good premium, even in current climate to European buyers, so yes would say value is easily between £5-6k. You can get hold of J-Specs for silly money, but i always wanted a UK Spec....... better IMO

John Grose Accident repair Hard work - but got there in the end - how hard can it be!?

Had accident 2 months ago which was my fault. Insurance Company (Budget - Fortis) tried to write my UK 93TT Auto off with only £3k worth of damage (These were Toyota part prices with Labour). They offered me £2k pay off and I went beserk. Send letter and usual evidence of other similar Supra's (Hard to find same examples!!) so they could see what my car was worth - I said £7k, although i would of taken between £5-6k). In short I said i would report to FSA etc and then they agreed to repair. Funny part is that after work started they found suspension damage and the repair bill came to £6k in the end!!!!! Apparently the garage paid £1,600 for an undertray fromToyota!!! That will teach the Insurance Co to try and take the biscuit as they have probably lost more now than actually offering a decent payout to write it off. I had a courtesy car for over a month as well and it all adds up. Basically to anyone having trouble with their Insurance Co with payouts/repairs - keep the pressure up, it makes it worth while in the end. The result is another UK TT remains on the roads and she has been repaired to a very good stanard and am well happy!! Kind Regards Steve

Went to Jet Tyres in Canvey - always very good prices. Just going to get Alloys refurbished now. Seen a few places that do 17inch for around £200 all in.....

Thanks guys. Going to stick with the 17in standards with a refurbishment. Spent £400 on 4 new tyres X4 Eagle Goodyear

Hi Pig - Looking it up it's a franchise and it operates from Auto imagination - who i have heard of. Thanks for the offer - do you have any ideas of places - seem to quite a few on A13 etc - but want to stick to North Essex if i can. Postcode of the place is down at CM6 1XG - Unit 9 Zone D, Chelmsford Rd

I got offered £2k UK 1993 TT So be prepared to be offered about £1k! I ended up threatening FSA action and they repaired my car in the end at a total cost of £6k!!!!!!!!

Also seen a place called #topgear# in Great Dunmow, looks like a good selection. Would F 235/40/18 and R 265/35/18 fit on UK TT ?
