Fair enough ... but the last time I checked, my connection was 512k, so this is a nice result!!

WOW!!! Just a minute!!! Turned on Eclipse this evening and everything just felt strangely fast!! Hmmm!! Went to the Bandwidthplace Speed Test (HERE) and got a download speed of 1.7 megabits !!! Nice! I usually get about 450k or so!! Shovels ... how is your connection looking? I'm wondering if something has just briefly screwed up down their end, or whether Eclipse have done a sly 2mb upgrade!! Result if they have!! Cheers, J

Not sure about the Sky excess. Admiral is £100 + £250 voluntary (£50 excess for windscreen)

Yep .... Definately insured as an import (my postcode is pretty good when it comes to crime rates etc). Bodykit, Exhaust, Wheels and Filter declared. But like you said, no like-for-like replacement, and no agreed value option! But I really need that £300!! It will cover the Wideband O2 sensor that I need now!! lol Cheers, J

Hmmmmm!! What a predicament!! Insurance due in 3 weeks, so I phoned Sky. Very helpful, declared all mods + agreed value .. came to about £750. Job done, I thought. BUT ... I just got a letter from Admiral (my current insurer) to tell me my insurance was due soon. Their new quote was included ..... wait for it ....... £469 full comp Sooo ... what do I do! Agreed value is great, but I could really do with the £300 saving that Admiral are going to give me right now!! Maybe Sky can improve on my quote if I ask, but I doubt it will be £300 better!! Cheers, J

Yeah ... it's most annoying. They do have faster lines .. but they all having sodding monthly download limits on. I'm after a decent speed line (2,4,8mb), but with no silly download limits! Maybe worth spamming them with questions about it Not servicing my area yet for that 24mb badboy .. that would rule! BET that has a download limit!!

Anyone here with Eclipse?? Reliability and service is excellent. Been with them for about 3 years now, and never had a problem. The one problem is that EVERYONE seems to be getting free upgrades to 1-2mb lines with other ISP's, and here I am like a lemon on 512k or so . I use the internet for about 16 hours a day for work, mail, browsing and most importantly games ... so it really winds me up when I see peeps that use it for 5 mins a day with free 2mb connections! Grrrr. What's worse is that we have 4 PC's in the house sharing the connection, and 90% of the time at least 2 of them are playing WoW online = bandwidth hog! /

If the car is ont the road ... I'll be there. Not far from me at all

Top stuff last night ... Good to see everyone again, cheers all. As Mr. Angry said, I can't remember ever seeing that many stunning cars in one place. God knows how many millions of pounds of car were parked up there!! Comedy Moment of the night for me: - Policeman: Who's car is this? Me: Mine ... what have I done wrong? Policeman: Ha Ha .. nothing. You just have a very nice bonnet Me: Why thank you very much Policeman: What have you had out of her then? Me: Ohhhh, not too sure. Around about 30 in built-up areas Policeman: Well .... you're clearly not driving it properly then. Make sure you give it some when you leave okay!! LOL ... It's good to see that they have a sense of humour, and could tell that it was a good spirited event with no silly buggers about. I have some pics (unfortunately either my eyes, or the camera focus was on the piss). Attached a couple to get a 'feel' for the event. Will try to get some more up later. Cheers, J

Well ... You're all going to have to excuse the state of my car . Haven't washed it for a while, and certainly won't get a chance today ... coming straight there from work! Looks like it should be good though

4 things in this world scare the hell out of me: - 1. Spiders 2. Clowns 3. Cheese 4. Cider Spiders being the top of that list ... They suck ! There was a gargantuan one in the bath the other day, and it was like it had shoes on. Every time it ran about you just heard click, click, clickety click ... shudder! The very reason that the electric automatic BB gun was invented was for the safe, long range, eradication of spiders. Works a treat! My Mum is scared of worms!!! WTF ... you don't wake up in the middle of the night with a worm on the ceiling!! Worms don't chase you around the room at warp 9 like spiders do either!! Mind you ... we have a couple of these (look at her evil little face), and they seek out and destroy spiders like guided missiles http://www.bouncingbullet.com/cute.jpg Cheers, J

Heh heh. We've actually put a steel bar along the inside bottom lip of the bumper to make it more rigid . We've also wedged 'blocks' of fiberglass in along the inside of the front lip to make it really solid too. I found that everytime I scraped a speedbump etc, the bumper would flex and all the paint on the bottom of the 'mouth' of the bumper would start to crack. That no longer happens now that it's been strengthened p.s. Just realised ... how come my bumper didn't come with a nice lady draped all over it like yours

I don't finish work until 6, so I will try to get there as soon as I can. Boxhill the following day too isn't it? Might have to bring the R32 GTR along with me too (damned Brothers!). Cheers, J

Heh heh .... You wouldn't BELIEVE the amount of holes I've put in that bumper. Infact ... It's just aquired another one. My bodywork guys are getting sick to death of repairing and re-painting it! They love it really Well ... I may see how much it will cost anyway ... just incase. It would be a shame to see what is, in my opinion, an awesome looking bumper go to the grave with our 2 cars Cheers, J

Cheers dude Heh heh ... Nah, it's very unlikely that I would .. just wondering how it would look against the rest of the car Awesome .. I was starting to feel left out there . Did yours come with the car, or did you buy it somewhere? Are you aware of anywhere that sells it? Is it actually Zeek for that matter? Questions, Questions, Questions Cheers, J

Hey all, Over the past 2 years of ownership, I have lost count of the number of people that have asked what my front bumper is, and where they can get it. I've even had people asking to buy it directly off my car!! As far as I am aware, it's a Zeek nosecone and it's no longer in production. I've not seen another one on a Supra in 2 years worth of meets and gatherings, and I don't recall seeing any pics on here of one in the UK I have come across somewhere where I can get a mould made of my bumper, and reproductions produced. Obviously this is a fairly costly process, so I just wanted to see if there really is much interest in it. If it seems viable, then I may go ahead and get the mould made ..... if only so I can have a spare . What do people reckon? Attached are some pics of the bumper on my car ... more images are also available on my site HERE p.s. Anyone think I should have my CF bonnet sprayed in black to match the car?? Cheers, J

Leeeeeeeeeeeroooooooooooooooy Jenkins!! ROFL!! I was PMSL when I first saw that - It really is one of those 'You had to be there' kind of videos though ... if you don't play the game, you wouldn't really get it! Cheers, J

Hey Ben .... Welcome to the Supra forum . Mighty impressed with what your car did out there ... not far off the 11's at all, shame the time ran out!! 5 gearboxes though ... ouch! Bet they're not cheap either! We should sort out our Torque Sport 'photoshoot' soon before the sun goes away for the Winter by the way (just punched ANOTHER hole in the Supra bumper though ... lol ... 4th time Nick has had to fix that now! ) Cheers, J

Heh heh! D'oh! What server are you joining ... have you decided (I'm on Terenas). Having got a Level 60 Warrior, I would suggest you try something else. Warriors are very hard to level up, and expensive to maintain! Paladins can do everything a Warrior can, but they can also heal themselves ... much more useful for soloing quests. Failing that ... Be a Mage. VERY powerful, but weak armour. Cheers, J

In the Chertsey Sainsubury's Car Park at about 1.30pm or so. I usually see you in St. Peters hospital though. Left a card under your wiper this time, so hopefully you will see this Cheers, James

Ooooh, excellent ... he's done well then!!

Do you know how Bens' GTO did? I know it fairly well (it's the one in the pics with the 'raised' spoiler and 3 holes in the bumper - this one ). All of his bodywork is done by the same guys that do my Supra (Torque Sport in Chertsey). Not normally a huge fan of GTO's, but his is a very, very nice example. I think he's on his 4th gearbox or so now though, d'oh Cheers, J

It's online only, there is no singleplayer mode, so you have no choice but to start in the deep end . It's the same sort of principle as EVE, Star Wars Galaxies etc etc. Having said that, everything is very well balanced for newbies and veterans alike. It really does let you in very gently and teaches you how to play as you go. Best bet is to have a look through some of the WoW websites and see what you think from there. I don't know anyone that has started to play it and not liked it.

Hell yes. But beware .... it will destroy you!! Once you start, that's it ... kiss goodbye to the outside world! lol. You do have to pay a subscription, but it's only £8.99 a month. You also get the first month free. If you liked Diablo, then this will be right up your alley I should think. I'm not sure if there is such a thing as a trial edition for WoW. Check out http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/ ... there may be some info on a trial there. I know a few guys that are playing Guild Wars. The pro seems to be the fact that you don't have to pay for servers. The cons seem to be that it isn't as 'sociable' as WoW ... people don't tend to work together as much. But I have heard that it's well worth playing. Cheers, J

There's a big thread about this on the Skyline forums, so I thought I'd see if there are any other geeks (besides me) on here that are playing? It's been ruining my life for the past month or so. My job is working with computer games, and as soon as I get home, I start playing the damned things until the early hours because of this - lol Here are my characters: Name: Orias Character: Human Warrior Level: 60 Server: Terenas Name: TheHoodedMan Character: Undead Mage Level: 10 Server: Bloodhammer Be good if any of us are on the same servers .... Supra Guild anyone
