  1. Didn't buy the car from Paul Laing did you?

    Interesting, thanks. I'd be very interested to see it when you've had some shading done. Keeps us posted eh? I've often wondered why they make the outline so much stronger than the shading. Wouldn't it look better if it was all the same intensity rather than darker at the edges?

    Three hours just to draw it? How come it takes so long? Don't they work out the basic design on paper first?
  4. Yeah, they do - the first eighteen years are the worst. So. true. It didn't go down very well when I mentioned that my sister's new baby girl was the dead spit of Al Murray.
  5. oh i see lol that is quite werid lol jurlolgen is a lol chap who imports lol suprlolas from japlolan
  6. Probably because you seem to use "lol" instead of punctuation, which makes you seem like a 12 year old girl.
  7. Interesting. I'd like to do something like that. How do you get into it though? I mean, do you have to have certain skill and qualifications? Do you know where I cold find out more information about getting into that kind of work? Thanks
  8. I don't like where it says "VISUAL PERFORMANCE" on the speedo dial, What's that about? The name of the company that makes them? It looks a bit naff IMO
  9. It's a waste of money, isn't it? IIRC a bottle of "Octane Booster" will increase a tank a fuel from 98RON to 98.1RON - hardly good value. If you read the label carefully you'll usually see that it says it will raise the octane rating x points but an octane point is actually 0.1RON not 1RON as you might think.
  10. Yeah, I loved all of Rik's pics. Real cute looking nipper
  11. I have both NTL (4meg) and Sky (2meg) I use the NTL and my kids use the Sky. It seems fine, no problems at all. 2meg is free if you have Sky TV so it seems rude not have it. How do you sort out these problems with Sky? I got them to test my line before hand, as I was interested in the 16meg but concerned it might be a lot less. It took them a few mins to test and they said the best I would get here would be about 4.5meg. So there was no point me going for a "up to 16meg " package.
  12. Manuel? Que? http://www.remi1000.com/images/news/manuel.jpg
  13. Is that from their website Charlie? Remind me, WCA something, right?
  14. Is this this auction that's not far from the IoW ferry? Kinda halfway between the Red Funnel hydrofoil and the Red Funnel car ferry? If so I used to got there back in 2003 when I was looking at Supras and GTOs. I never did actually by one from them but it was interesting. I might pop down next Tuesday too if you guys are going.
  15. Nice to see Man Ure back to winning ways after getting owned by the mighty Portsmouth last saturday.
  16. People have kids. Kids cry. Get over it. It's not the babies fault you live in a house with shitty soundproofing. You were probably a whinging little snot-nose yourself once, right?
  17. Sorry to hear that Greg, I know what it's like. At least it was quick.
  18. At last . . . The Mk5 Supra is here!!!
  19. My genuine Toyota belt from Steve Manley was less than £30. £28 IIRC Do you need to change the idler wheel? I wouldn't Search for Manley 01865 to find Steve's number
  20. Do you have the anti-squeal shims fitted? Some copper slip on the shims sometimes helps too.
  21. Don't go tempting fate you NA boys. Remember when the NA folks were saying how it's always TTs that have crashes, then one of them ploughed his NA into a stationary Porsche shortly after.

    oh cr&p :(

    Ooo, that picture looks exactly like my engine bay when I melted a piston on my white TT, oil everywhere out of the filler cap. Does the engine seem like it's running on 5 (or less) cylinders? You'll want to do a compression test Matt. Does you have a comp test gauge? Good luck mate. ps, What does Shacking mean?
  23. Oh, you prefer Irish Whiskey! That surprises me, with you being a jock and all, I'd have thought you'd be a whisky man.
  24. Yuk. Horrible stuff. Gimme bourbon any day
