    Hi

    Welcome, awesome colour.
  3. Good work Alex. Interesting up-grades. As said, well done on giving it a go yourself. All will work out fine and you will feel rightly well pleased when it's all back up and running knowing you did the majority of the graft.
  4. God, I can’t believe some of you. What has this great country come to? I am doing ok. Was before Euro. Was during Euro, and will be after Euro involvement, yes, I’m an old git, but life was just as tough when we left school – look it up, properly. You just need to do what is needed to make your living. (No, they don’t ‘owe us a living’, although I love that record and era- again, look it up) I’m glad we are out, no I did not vote, (despite being and old git, I don’t want to wreak the lives of our young, go figure?) never will, all a bunch of £ chasing unspeakable types if you ask me who will never care about the working man. Whatever happens, I see a lot of opportunities for me and all others who want to try hard. Remember, I’m an old git, (not a young and go get it type – although I was once) and can’t wait for the challenge. (Oh, scary, I might have to think for myself and do a real days work.) I have always worked hard, always will, not afraid of that. Working hard will always see me ‘right, not a problem. I bought my first house at 19 and no, it wasn’t any easier back then and no one helped me, we just never thought we had the right to go out like our elders were doing and I never, ever went on holiday nor had a decent car etc., clapped out mk1 1100 escort! That’s the choices you make. Just to put my thoughts into today’s perspective, my son bought his house £250.000 with his girlfriend, two years ago (he was 24 she was 23) without any help, because they wanted it and saved. This all happens because they have a life plan. To be honest, her dad and I wish we could of helped them but bottom line is they said no, they were ok and could manage it all themselves. So make all the excuses you like but I managed it (32 years ago) and my son has managed it (2 years ago). No one helped us; we just got on with it and managed our money correctly. Just in case you are wondering, we were left no money and did not marry into money. I’m a bricklayer and he is a car mechanic, not silver spoon boys. We are just hard working guys who don’t expect a hand out. I have worked hard to get a degree in teaching, whilst working full time, teach and run a property maintenance & development company and he is looking to go forward with his trade. It took me a long time to get a Supra, my dream car. It’s a matter of priorities in YOUR life, whatever they might be. Remember, it’s all your choice. Tough maybe, but life is and to be controversial in today’s world, so it should be. ‘Do they owe us a living? ‘Course they do, ‘course they do’. No they don’t. (Look it up).
  5. Welcome. Looks like a nice clan example you have got there.
  6. Looks good and love the look of that engine sat in the bay, as bobbeh said, looks like it was made to be there. Looking forward to seeing the finished car.
  7. As titled, White, A34 on Saturday. You were Northbound, about 11.30 am. Looked nice and clean. I was Southbound in a hire car. First I've seen for a very long time. Anyone on here?
  8. Well I'm off to the pub just in case it all kicks off. Well that's my excuse for this week
  9. That's this afternoons reading sorted if I can get a copy. Well deserved feature.
  10. Nice looking Supra, you look to have bought a very well cared for example. Enjoy.
  11. Looks lovely, the tinted windows really set off the red.
  12. An inspiration as ever Jake. Car looks really good and the set up really suits those wheels imo. Out of interest, where did you get the carbon rear lip from? It looks good and a good fit. Great work mate
  13. What a great experience. Some very nice shots there.
  14. Welcome Supra. Looking forward to the up-dates.
  15. Jesus, sorry to see this, such a great looking job you had done. Still at least you are ok and it's good to see you are so positive about using it as an opportunity for improvement. Looking forward to the up-dates.
  16. Oh yeh, I remember that post, nice work.
  17. That does look nice mate and I like the handbrake cover as well. What seats are they? It looks like a nice comfortable place to be in, mine is still a bit plastic fantastic for my liking.
  18. Or failing the blue flag you can always flip them the finger Now that I would like to see in F1, they could name the move after your good self
  19. That must make yours quite near the end of the run. I wonder when the last one left the factory. Mine was almost, or what is considered pre-run, being mid. 1996 so mine does not have the newer engine but has everything else.
  20. Looks good. Worth the money I'd say. Be interesting to know when yours was made as there aren't many of us about.
