  1. yep, takes about 5mins to walk to the gents from the entrance. as for drag times, they are still drying the strip.
  2. running late! anyone left know what time the convoy leaves thurrock?
  3. I think it needs to be pre 91 in order to get away with high emissions. any decent exhaust place could cut a sports cat into your current system. then its up to you If you want to remove it again.
  4. been to the pod a few years ago, but not in anything as powerful as the aristo. they let passengers down the strip? one thing I've never understood was the fact you need to show a full drivers licence? even though its not on public road?
  5. Regardless of it being 'ok' for use, the op asked for a 2.5 and he wasn't given a full 2.5. that's like asking a dealer for a BMW 330 sport and being given a 325 sport at the same price of the 330. its not right! if your at a brick wall talking to them, trading standards is the next step as abz says.
  6. I will do a print out JB and I know it sounds crude but may be able to get a megaphone or.......... maybe pass the list to the anouncer?? that's not going to work as people have put themselves to run consecutively. it might be best to let people arrange their own drags, ie, line up together.
  7. that might of been mine if you work at tdi?
  8. if you don't have any joy with the above, I had the exact same problem which turned out to be an ill fitted fuel pump washer. my aristo is different to the supra in terms of a few things, but when the second turbo should of been on full power, the pump couldn't provide enough fuel. hence the feeling that the turbo has run out of puff.
  9. you sure that wasn't a monthly rate? I can't believe that the supra would even fall under the classic category.
  10. get the bluewater meet to come down to you and help! 10 pairs of hands are better than 1!!
  11. I paid many moons ago, haven't had anything in the post. are the tickets being held on the reg plates ?
  12. I've got a bpu aristo if anyone thinks they can take on the old brute!
  13. I've got one from an auto aristo, don't think they'd be different?
  14. £510!! result, as I was going around telling people they could buy it for £350! someone at work wanted it but didn't have the cash. its a shame that it belongs to the Mrs!
  15. No longer for sale on the forums, auction has hit £410 with 2hrs left.
  16. bump! its got 34 watchers on eBay, starting bid of £250. I've seen others with same spec go for between 300-450. listing ends in 3 days and there's one bid so it will sell.
  17. this is what id do: buy tax, scan the disc, print it and stick it on the car for the buyer to drive to the port. the car will be taxed on the system so wouldn't set off any anpr systems and soon as its off UK land, get a refund. less hassle for you and the buyer. probably not legal, but A LOT less headache.
  18. to the op, have you tried pay as you drive insurance ?
  19. Not true. See Rob's reply. I guess you're one of these people. Getting caught fronting can earn you a conviction for fraud. IIRC a conviction for fraud has to be declared on a lot of insurance applications, mortgages, loans, etc, which will probably result in the applicant being offered "unfavourable terms". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10241769 I'm not going to start a debate on this thread, but I'm sure whether people are willing to admit it or not, they put their wives on the policy first. we both live at the same address, we both drive the car. I called in on a radio station when they had an insurance specialist and asked the question whether its illegal to put the wife on first. there's nothing illegal about it. how would an insurance company prove who drives the car most? fronting is targeted at parents who put their kids on a policy when they have no intention themselves to drive the cars. I wouldnt be surprised if 80% or more had their parents first. insurance companies don't like it as kids are more likely to be in an accident.
  20. I parked in two bays in gallions reach, east London. it was away from the shops and there was plenty of spaces closer but I didn't want to be dinged. when I returned I had a fine from UKPC who run the free car park. looked at my car cctv and sure enough some sod was taking pictures of my car and stuck a ticket on. luckily its a non enforceable fine so they can die slow.
