Saturday 5th April 2008 1.30 - 2.00 PM mkivsupra.net Surrey Meet at the Fairmile Pub Cobham The Fairmile: http://www.pub-restaurant.co.uk/show_restaurant.tpl?restaurant=551 After the great meet we had in March, I hope the April one will be even bigger (and warmer) I'll again invite the GTR Owners Club who brought five nice Skylines to the last one. The Famous Grouse parking test will start at 2.00PM and the winner will go home with a bottle of Baileys this month. If we look like we are going to get a good turnout again I promise to do all I can to get the place to put on more staff to get the "eats & drinks" out quicker. Pics from the March Meet are here: http://s249.photobucket.com/albums/gg222/Gatsomkiv/Fairmile%20March%2008/ Little vid is here: For those who haven't been before, it's very informal, turn up, eat, drink, natter - drool over cars etc etc. Only 5 minutes from J10 of the M25. Hope to see you there again...

I personally don't think this is a problem. 1, The design is very different. 2, There are so few of them about it doesn't really matter (they have 8 signed up for the Japfest - we have 80) I feel a poll coming on...

Not any startling changes... Big chromes moved on, & VeilSide killed by a badger Sadly no longer true "gunmetal" though G

Just to be clear... this design, or very similar

Don't panic folks.. It only takes a couple of days to get things rolling. Smiffad's plate looks best to me as well and they are happy to do them like that. Just loking at fonts etc. Will put up a buy-now list up in the next couple of days. Cheers Gerry

Did a bit of googling and it look slike he had some results last year in an XR3 !

Just thinking about going over to Castle Combe tomorrow to have a look at some club racing. Combe is very open and flat and if it's cold & windy it's bitter so I was having second thoughts. Just checked out what's racing and there's a new race (new to me anyway) "pre 93 touring car" and there's a Supra entered ! David Scriven of Swansea ?http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/documents/ttentrylist240308.pdf Anybody know him ? Will defo go now in case he turns up ! Will report tomorow night

Just spotted this thread Gaz... Really pleased that after the crap and frustrations you've had you are getting some serious fun at last. You deserve it... Have great fun, look forward to seeing it run at SupraPod 08 Looks brilliant as well (pic in another thread). Cheers G

Would never call you a "Fairy" (you might be bigger than me) it was aimed at people who think we live in an completely equal world when sadly we don't. I just don't belive you really feel equal to both your bank managers boss and also the chav who keys his car ! If you do, you are truly "OK" (as in the brilliant book "I'm OK, Your'e OK") and although I strive (only a bit) to be better, I still judge people by how they dress, how they talk etc etc...

Great (interesting) thread... Makes me laugh when people pretend there's no such thing as class, just pretending it's not there doesn't make it go away. It's a bit like pretending we (humans) are all one colour and that we treat everyone no matter what make they are the same - nice in fairly land It's obvious that there are class differences in all cultures, the hard bit is defining them, perhaps the word "class" is wrong, but I can't think of another which is better. I think class is about a number of things, and I'd put them in order of: 1, Education, or lack of. 2, How well we speak / accent. 3, Wealth, or lack of. 4, "Style" will come back to this one. I think to be at the top end of the pile you need some of all of them, just having money is not enough etc. I also know is that when I meet some of my big farmer customers who wear a tweed jacket and check shirt & tie, who drive a sports Range Rover and who are obviously better educated then I am (and don't have a Yorkshire twang) I feel that whatever class they are, it's not the same as mine.

Think that's cos it a GTT not a GTR which still fetch big money

Read Bravo 2 Zero and thought it was great (lots of macho blood and guts etc) but then thought again when I re-read it some time later. In the first part of the book, it repeats over and over again that "planning is the key" etc and then they are dropped into the wrong bit of the desert and find lots of enemy that they didn't know was there ! Then most of them, one way or another get killed or caught ! Great book, but I don't think it was one of their finest hours. It may be an age related thing, the older I get the less I see the forces as hero types and the more i see them as a huge mixture of kids, not all of them in there for Queen & Country.

Looks great Jon... When you getting your new wheel, any idea ? Hope to the car in the flesh soon. Cheers G

That's a new name for it

Was that the blue one with mould on I saw there ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; no mould really, was covered up nice & dry

255lt/hr fuel pump, not sure how it compares with the UK one. 2.5" decat pipes with a 2" RR (which Whifbits say will give 1-1.1 BAR ish). G

Many thanks to Mark at Poenix and Matt Harwwod who BPU'd me last week. Picked the car up yesterday and had a great trip home Feels just like the last one now. It's boosting to just over 1 BAR - now to decide on a Boost Controller to pop it up to 1.2 for them moments when you like just a bit more Fitted: Whifbits de-cat pipes + R/R Denso IK22 Thor FCD Walbro fuel pump Blitz MD boost gauge plus: Levoc gear shift Goodrich brake lines Already have RSR zaust & Thor DSC TSD Question... How accurate are boost gauges ? If it's reading 1 BAR can I trust it ? Cheers G

Originally posted by JamieP I can't make it either Look - if you don't want me to go, just say so OK PS... sorry to hear you are still duff Lui

May pop down and say hello ! Picking the Supe up from Phoenix in the morning so may well pop down the M1 and have a look at what's going on there. Will be noon / mid afternoon depending on either a pub-grub or one of Ace's chilli-cheesey-chips

And for the evening... http://www.lesmis.com/ Brilliant "musical" will make your partner cry but it's great.

Bomex... ? Do they do "one off's" does anybody know. Cheers G

You could always do the 92nd best thing to do in London (official). http://www.urbanpath.com/london/adult/harmony-oxford-street.htm Great shop, Soo & I had much fun there, very posh and full of interesting items & gifts - especially down stairs ! Very hard to concentrate on shopping with a big TV showing Silvia Saint doing her (uncut) thing in the room recommended...
