    RIP Buster

    I'm sure he's had a happy 4 years with you. Sorry to hear he's gone.

  3. I like the horse and the fat kid that goes through the ice.
  4. We normally go every other year but I've been getting bored with it for some time now. The entertainment other than the race is pathetic. No Tornado fighter doing a low and very loud flypast anymore. No Renault people carrier with the F1 engine driving around the circuit anymore. No Batman car driving around the circuit anymore. No motorbike display riders anymore. No Mini stunt drivers anymore. The Red Arrows become boring when you've seen them a few times. Parachute display team. The organisers have got no imagination at all.
  5. That's heckler's site, he's a club member.
  6. It will, I know from experience.
  7. Warm it up with a hairdryer/heat gun and use plenty of methylated spirit on a rag.
  8. No 1, 2 and 7 are okay , I don't like the rest. What I did when I was looking for wheels was to look at as many pics of Supra's that I could possibly find. Wheels thread on Supraforums.com Red Supras owned by members on Supraforums.com . .
  9. Formula One power will come to Northern Ireland this Saturday when Red Bull take to the streets of Belfast. The team’s former racer David Coulthard will be at the wheel for the evening demonstration run in front of the iconic City Hall. Coulthard’s mission say Red Bull is to show the public what modern F1 machines are made of and the Scot is expected to reach up to 190mph as he displays his car’s speed, power and control on Belfast's roads. Prior to the Scot’s demo run, Red Bull will be setting up their team garage at the gates to City Hall and from 12pm to 4pm fans will be able to visit and find out exactly what goes on behind the scenes in the Formula One paddock. Coulthard’s evening display will get underway at 8pm, with the site open from 7.30pm . .
  10. Didn't you see my post earlier, I've actually seen this happen. I didn't see how the vehicle got in that position, but it was pushed along just like the one in the video. It was on the other carriageway on the motorway in the left lane. This is how it could happen, very little damage as they're both going the same speed V1LM8TtSLZ0
  11. Why would there necessarily be an investigation at the time?
  12. The facelifted Supra is from May 96, you should definately be able to get one of those. There're some nice ones for sale on here, you can also look at the sellers previous posts to learn a little about the history of the car.
  13. Far too expensive, you should be able to get a much newer car for that sort of money. I don't like it either and I don't trust dealers.
  14. Isn't there a warning light that will come on if it's not charging properly? Much more likely to be the battery I would think.

  16. You can actually hear a screech as it goes past, you can even see the reflection of the headlights on the car. Like I said earlier, I've seen this happen before, the car was pushed along the motorway just like that was.
  17. Why don't you just email Blitz and ask them? Or just choose your own paint, if the paint shop doesn't have any colour cards then go to a paint supplier.
  18. The car wasn't exactly freewheeling, there would've been a strong smell of burning rubber too.
  19. We saw that same thing happening a few years ago on the M1 on the other carriageway, but the lorry did slow down. It was surreal watching the occupants of the car as they couldn't do a thing about it, terrifying to say the least.
  20. I've got one too, they are nice. It's difficult to estimate a price, why don't you get some good photo's and ask for offers? I'm not sure how much interest there would be as surprisingly a lot of owners don't appear to be particularly bothered about having an airbag and would just get a new steering wheel from a company such as Sparco/Momo which don't cost that much. You may get one or two sensible people that may be interested.
  21. I didn't know that, reading through a member's posts on here can reveal a lot.
  22. How easy would it be to get a decent match if you need to get it painted?
  23. This happened to me once on another vehicle, the door wouldn't open at all I cut through the door striker using a hacksaw blade in the small gap between the door and the rear wing. Minimal damage, the striker was cheap and easy to replace
  24. Out of interest, what size tyres do you have on the car?
