  1. Where's me turbos??? (Runs for cover...)
  2. Oh dear....what's Geroge W. up to now? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4180087.stm
  3. Ok I missed a couple of days, but I can't be @rsed to type them all out. But todays is a classic! Geroge W. - speaking to the Brazilian President Fernando Cardoso; Washington DC; 8 Nov 2001: "Do you have blacks, too?" Amazing bloke, our George, don't you think?
  4. I'm feeling that you're not overly keen on Beemer drivers then, Clarkey?? Lol!
  5. Thursday 13th January. "We're concerned about AIDS inside our White House - make no mistake about it." -Washington DC; February 7th 2001.

    Speeding!

    Tell them you don't know who was driving as you simply can't remember. If you supply incorrect information you commit another offence. (According to what they tell you on the Driver Query form) So, rather than risk committing another offence by perjuring yourself, if you don't know, tell them you don't know. They will then have to decide what happens. And if they can't prove who was driving from the photograph, then they can't proceed with a case. (Regina Vs. Neil and Christine Hamilton, 2004 apparently!)
  7. Wednesday 12th January. "I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who have probably read the news themselves." - Washington, D.C. September 21, 2003. Does that mean he just looks at the pictures?
  8. Right then. Tuesday 11th January 2005. "See, we love - we love freedom. That's what they didn't understand. They hate things; we love things. They act out of hatred; we don't seek revenge, we seek justice out of love." - Oklahoma City; August 29, 2002.

    Turbo Carpet

    I can well imagine!! I want to ask if it has a turbo turbo??
  10. Good man. That's what it's all about. I don't think I've ever heard Supra ownership summed up so well. Hope you get it sorted quickly.
  11. Well, if I saw it in my rear view mirror, I think I'd get out of its' way!
  12. Why do you wear the same clothes all the time? Why won't you give me your phone number? Are you married? No. Are you homeless? No. Are you a drummer? That last line cracked me up when I heard it!

    Busted!

    Obviously he was going to make good use of the prison solarium, silly!!

    Busted!

    How unlucky was that?!!! DOH!!!!
  15. Apparently not. If you read the magazine article in one of the links you'll find this: "Even experienced eyes have been stumped by spy photos that show insufficient air intakes or cooling ducts necessary for a 500hp engine. The absence of these items seems to indicate a rear-engine placement, but in fact, the engine is in the front, and the radiators are in the rear fenders, just below the tacked on taillights. Camouflage attempts to hide these ducts." That explains the fans. Might this have some sort of beneficial aerodynamic effect if they duct air from the side scoops in front of the rear wheels, through the radiators and exiting at the back of the car? Would it help to try to push air into the low pressure area at the back of a moving car? I don't know enough about aerodynamics to say, especially when it comes to how a body in motion disturbs the air behind it and the effect it has on overall drag. It would make it a nice warm spot to stand beside on a cold winters day though!!! Innovative in the car world I guess. Kind of a back to front rendering of stuff like the Porsche Boxster which has its' radiators behind the front bumper, cooling the engine in the back. In the motorcycle world, Bennelli tried this when they brought out the Tornado. It had the radiator under the seat with 2 fans mounted in the tail unit. Looked great and allowed them to reduce the amount of drag at the front by having a smaller frontal area to the bike.
  16. My in-laws got me the same calendar when they were in Washington DC recently. It's called 'Geroge W. Bushisms' Tell you what, I'll start a thread tomorrow and update it every day for you if you like? I'm not at work today, so if you can start us off today, Rosie, we can see if we can keep it going all year.
  17. Are you talking about 'World Shut Your Mouth'? Bloody funny!!
  18. Yes it would, but the fun will be the fact that they'll probably get off the line pretty quick (being normally aspirated - no lag) and think they're winning! then they'll get slaughtered! What I meant was that you can't have come up against one of these particular models as you seemed to think you had. Oh,and don't think that the auto Supra is any kind of slouch. They're generally quicker over a standing 1/4 than an equivalent manual tt. Check out the Drag racing times on this site. I ran 12's with nothing more than a decat and FCD in an auto.
  19. This is an uprated version. Not available until March. 300bhp and 60 in 5.8
  20. Look out for these on the road after March. Wheels will be the giveaway if the colour isn't. Shouldn't be too far behind the Supe! Zzzzzz....
  21. You must have been in a fenced off portion of the EoE Showground. This place is HUGE. Billing is nowhere near the size of it. Some of the events held there are much bigger than JAE. The EoE show itself is very big. They would never have the room for all the livestock wagons that go there if it was the size of Billing. The BMF rally is there every year too. That's pretty large!
  22. Well done Jake. Top Movie! I've added the answer to my sig just now,for those of you who read this later and think "That muppet has the answer in his sig!!"
  23. Ok,what's this one? "Racing is Life. Everything else is just waiting." I like that one so much, I think I'll put it in my signature!
