    See what I wrote in the Members section. Isn't France totally the best place for driving?
  2. If you have 2 mins have a look at this :
  3. Just back from France myself. Too bad for that ferrari driver, I was cruising all day long at 140 leptons
  4. One thing I insisted was NO BMW. At the moment Audi is top spot, followed by some mercedes thing. He is also considering a 1 yr old merc SL350. I am mostly trying to convince him to go 2 seater while he still has no kids etc, not to mention 'nearly new' and save £££s from a New car. Main thing is image, his company has done well and has some spare cash.
  5. ,,, but the fool will not buy a Supra. So what do you suggest? Don't ask me for reasons, but has to be: mid size convertible brand new four seater Any ideas?
  6. In my auto I managed to get 110mph in 2nd gear before the automatic cut out thingy happened, that was well into the red. I forgot I was in 2nd I thought I was in D. Duh...
  7. what a joke, chelsea should pay a LOT more and 3 points deducted with NO suspension
  8. Yes blonde woman, in her 40s maybe? If she is in her 30s then I am in trouble! Hey that road down to Plymouth is nice
  9. Mine went down £100 when I did this too. But does anyone know WHY?
  10. This Saturday with a lady driver?
  11. Try Corbis? Lots of their pics are royalty free
  12. ... for driving - and overtaking a police car - at 106mph in his Chrysler c3000. Duh. But what is a Chrysler c3000? Can't find a pic anywhere
  13. Thanks everyone - Slow Dog wins Greenpeace I think we are going to the Dordogne. But I'm not sure, I leave the details to our lass. We rented a 16th century chateau in 200 acres of land for a week with 8 friends. Cannae wait... for the drive down that is
  14. It's been 12 months since I got my first Supra and I still look forward to driving it whenever I can In fact it's the first REAL car I have had, and it's only been the last month or so that I have REALLY got to get to know it and its speed/handling potential etc. The track day at Bedford a few weeks back helped a lot. Anyway, I am driving down to the south of France in a few weeks, and would like to get a decent servicing done before I go. Any recommendations where to go in London? Also, as the mileage is now 82,000 km, is that time for a cambelt change? Thanks guys
  15. Maybe they will have a go of this one day: http://img205.echo.cx/img205/8827/newsupra2ab.jpg
  16. I was looking at this . You can see some Supra Mark IV lines in it, around the wheel arches? Funny how cars evolve over the years.
  17. or a skyline or soarer
  18. I visit loads of them and this is without doubt the THE friendliest online board I have ever known. I think I know why? Cos pound for pound, we Supra owners know we have the fastest and best cars on the planet?
  19. Did you play parking perfection? I parked it in 30 sec but the game would not end and then I ran out of time?!?! Parking Perfection
  20. BBC say it was a mini and a Mitsubishi Charisma - no Aston or Merc?!?!?
  21. Nice one mate looking forward to more stories, and pix of course!
  22. 1, OPENING JARS - nnng, she's struggling. You take it from her hands, open it effortlessly and pretend she loosened it for you. She didn't. Jars are men's work. 2, CALLING SOMEONE 'SON' - Especially policeman but even saying it to kids makes you the man. 3, DOING A PROPER SLIDE TACKLE - Beckham free kicks? Gay. A Stuart Pearce tackle is the pinnacle of the game, simultaneously winning the ball and crippling the man. Magic. 4, SHARPENING A PENCIL WITH A STANLEY KNIFE - Blunt, is it? Hand it here love. No, I don't need a sharpener, you think I can't whittle. 5, GOING TO THE TIP - A manly act which combines driving, lifting and as you thrillingly drop your rubbish into another huge pile of other rubbish, noisy destruction = man. 6, DRINKING UP - Specifically, rising from the table, slinging your coat on and downing two thirds of a pint in one fluid movement. Then nodding towards the door, saying, "Let's go" and striding out while everyone else struggles to catch up with you. God, you're hard. 7, HAVING A THIN BIT OF WOOD - in the shed, solely to stir paint with. 8, HAVING A SCAR - Ideally it'll be a facial knife wound, but even an iron burn on the wrist is good. "Ooh, did it hurt". "Nah". 9, HAVING A HANGOVER AND THICK STUBBLE - When birds have been partying they just whinge. You, on the other hand have physical evidence of your hardness, sprouting from your face. "Big night?" Grrrrr, what does it look like. 10, NODDING AT COPPERS - A moments eye contact is all it takes for you to share the unspoken bond. "We've not seen eye to eye in the past", it says, "but someone's got to keep the little scrotes in line". 11, USING POWER TOOLS - slightly more powerful than you need or can safely handle. Pneumatic drilling while smoking a fag? Superb. 12, KICKING A FOOTY AGAINST A GARAGE DOOR - Clang-g-g-g-g-g-! Stitch that becks, I kick so hard I set off car alarms. 13, ARRIVING IN A PUB LATE... and everyone cheers you. It doesn't mean you're popular, it just means your mates are pissed. However, the rest of the pub doesn't know that. 14, NOT WATCHING YOUR WEIGHT - fat is a feminist issue, apparently. Brilliant. Pass the pork scratchings. 15, CARVING THE ROAST - and saying "are you a leg or breast man" to the blokes and "do you want stuffing" to the women. Congratulations, you are now your dad. 16, WINKING - turns women to putty. Doesn't it? 17, TEST SWINGING HAMMERS - ideally, BandQ would have little changing rooms with mirrors so you could see how rugged you look with any DIY item. Until then, we'll make do with the aisles. 18, TAKING OUT £ 200 FROM A CASHPOINT - okay, so its for paying the plumber later but with that much cash you feel like a mafia don. The only thing better is peeling notes off the roll later. 19, PHONE CALLS THAT LAST LESS THAN A MINUTE - unlike birds, we get Straight to the point. "alright? Yep. Drink? Red lion? George, Seven it is then. See ya." 20, PARALLEL PARKING - bosh, straight in. first time. Can Schumacher do that? No, because his cars got no reverse gear which, technically, makes you the worlds best driver. 21, HAVING EARNED THAT PINT - Since the dawn of time, men have toiled in the fields in blistering heat. Why? So, when it's over we can stand there in silence, surveying our work with one hand resting on the beer gut while the other nurses a foaming jug of ale. Aaaah. 22, HAVING SOMETHING PROPERLY WRONG WITH YOU - especially if you didn't make a fuss. "Why was I off, nothing much, just a brain hemorrhage". 23, KNOWING WHICH SCREWDRIVER IS WHICH - "a Phillips? For that? Are you mad, bint?" 24, TAKING A NEWSPAPER INTO THE LOO - a visual code that says that's right, I'm going in there for a huge, long man-sized dump.
  23. Is that true of TTs? Aren't the turbos gonna start to fail around 150k?
  24. I found myself in the fortunate position of being at front of the queue at a red light with a new Carrera S next to me. Dry, empty, flat straight road ahead. I'm in a stock TT auto. Oh yes. Lights changed we got to about 60 then he done me... shit I started in D and floored it. Would it have been better to use manu and go thru the gears, or start in 2nd and leave it there or what?
  25. Just go down Knightsbridge on a sunny weekend afternoon like I did bank holiday monday last week if you want the final word on top notch street parade. Oh look, there's yet another ferrari, and another lambo too... whatever
