  1. No worries mate - sounds like it won't, but shout if anything changes. Excellent, get Abz over for when it arrives!
  2. No worries mate, I'll PM you my number in case you need it...
  3. I'm serious! I'd rather loan you my garage for a while then you sell it without having time to think about whether that's what you'd really want to do. My mates can take the p1ss even more then - I'd have two Supras that I don't drive.
  4. You can't carry on trading under a dissolved company name - it's illegal if you carry on using "limited" (or the shortened version, "ltd"), which you are doing on your website and ebay at least. As I understand it, if the cars (and any money in a company bank account, property, etc) were owned by the company - and you didn't choose to dissolve the copmany and therefore didn't move the ownership before the company was dissolved - then they're bona vacantia i.e. not yours any more. If they weren't in the companies name, then who owned/owns them? http://www.bonavacantia.gov.uk/output/bvc1-assets-of-dissolved-companies-that-have-vested-in-the-crown-as-bona-vacantia-1.aspx
  5. I'll put my MR2 out on the driveway, you stick the Supra at my house for a week/month/year under a nice posh cover and immobilise it. Then, when the time comes and you re-realise you've got the keys to one of the world's best Supras, come back and get it again and thank me that you didn't sell. It can keep my Supra company.
  6. My wife (and kids) are coming. We will be in the 406 If you see me leaning out the passenger window it's because I'm taking photos, so pose!
  7. Is that the reason you're thinking of selling, storage/parking? I saw this thread and thought you had absolutely lost your mind, after all the effort YOU have personally put into invested in making your dream Supra... don't make any decision about that car lightly Ibrar!!
  8. A few of us are staying in the Travelodge.
  9. I assume this isn't the same Paul Brown Cars, as it was dissolved earlier this year. http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/6211f282d4fcb17ce91b86a21d3368ec/compdetails There is only one company called 'Paul Brown Cars' ever to have been incorporated in the UK. It's possible to trade without being a Limited Company, but I would have thought it unusual?
  10. The Tanabe is a good exhaust; it seems to be very free-flowing but still good at getting rid of noise.

    Can't confirm dates until we know when it's open to the public. I haven't checked yet, but they don't usually announce those until later in the year.

  13. Come to think of it, my non-retrimmed factory-fitted Recaros are starting to show signs of use... where they have been used! I'm going to write to Toyota, it's just not good enough; they were brand new when they were brand new, once upon a time, several years ago. Seats needing a retrim - or even a re-retrim - having once been perfect... who have thought that such things could happen over time and through use. I wonder if a 3rd thread will be started on the matter, once this one is locked.
  14. Unless he's undergone a character transplant since I last saw Jurgen, I don't think you could be much wider of the mark. There is no place in this world for 'fanboys' who blow smoke up someone's 4ss, so when I say Jurgen is as genuine as they come and he's worked blo00dy hard to achieve all he has I don't say it lightly. I agree those seats look gash, but are you certain the seller you bought that Supra from had really used Jurgen's man to retrim those seats, or could s/he have just said it, to trade on someone who's got a good reputation? Jurgen has said they weren't anything to do with him or his contact - are you 100% sure they were? Either way, I don't see the issue in Jurgen putting his reputation on the line and taking people's seats in to be retrimmed, in exchange for what is almost certainly a tiny margin for the simple reason it wouldn't be a marketable service if the markup were taking the mick. No one is forced to use him, but he always sees to sort out any issues that are to do with him on the rare occasions that they arise - unlike many, less professional companies. If you manage to avoid middle men in every transaction in your life I'd be amazed. In fact, if you avoid even a handful, I'd be quite surprised. Anyway, I digress.
  15. Order the members list (under the "community" drop-down) by join date.
  16. Could it be a blocked injector, poor/no spark - something along those lines where one of more cylinders aren't getting the fuel they expect, so the ECU is trying to sort it (via what it sees at the O2 sensor, which will be misleading if it's an inconsistent fault i.e. the cylinders aren't behaving equally) and as a result is bu66ering up the fuelling and/or timing and/or throttle position - any and all of which could cause what you're seeing, AIUI.
  17. Congrats Peter! I was actually looking at the membership list the other week, ordered by join date, to see who'd been around the longest (and are still here). According to the mini-profile beneath your avatar, you've been here a year; 1/10th of 10 years.
  18. I've just realised I've mixed my dates up (in my head - everything in the thread is correct) - I thought this was this weekend but it's not, it's the day after DragonCol. I think I'll be all driven-out, but will see closer to the time. Who is considering going to this, next Sunday (14th Oct)? If it's dry maybe I'll still have a cheeky nip out to it and back home again, even after DragonCol.
  19. I don't read EVERYTHING on here Seen it now - congrats dude!
  20. Sounds good mate, welcome back to the fold When do you pick it up? When do we see pics?
  21. I sincerely hope it's a different car to your last Supra Greg!!
  22. Checking the link I found, there is a brief discussion saying they moved it from 23rd to 30th. I can't make it, sorry.
