Supragirlies was a nice one, but i think she sold it a while back. Does it still count?

[scotty71]

yes that was nice, she sold it and has an Rx7 now but yes was a great car. I have only included cars I have taken photos of myself this year and could find on my HDD at present. Many many cars of high standard could have been added

[mobsta_01]

Or that black one that Paul Whiffin was selling for a customer. The one with the Works wheels.

[Tee from China]

re-read my post! i was talking about HODGE! he being the 'one' guy who did everything himself!

 

But you said 'like inferno' which to me inferred that Inferno had build it the same as Hodge - by himself , but we know that isn't true, which was the point I made that Hodge has done the work himself unlike Inferno who just opened his chequebook!

 

Still not a new car though

[Tee from China]

Think we should have a vote

 

in peoples opinion which are the nicest supra on the forum

 

my choice

 

Chingy do luck supra- sexy as hell and a part of supra history

[supraturbochris]

Hey mate, I appreciate your positive comments in my build thread, but don't appreciate the cheap digs you are having at me. Sure I did not build the car with my own 2 hands, but that is because I wanted to best craftsmenship and experts to work on it.

 

I would have no chance in hell at being able to assemble an engine, build a rear seat delete, an audio sound stage, assemble and fabricate a sequential twin turbo system from scratch, tune said setup, incorporate nitrous, exhaust cutouts, fuel mapping, custom exhaust fabrication.

 

Nor could I spray the car, do the custom bodywork, the metal widebody kit, wire the entire car... the list goes on and on. I trust professionals to do it, and I have no regrets whatsoever. I am not ashamed to say that I did not build the car. I did however spend more time than you could imagine researching, conversing, designing and negotiating the entire build from start to end. I may not have been doing the work myself but I was there every step of the way.

 

The car was and is my dream car and as I had (in my opinion) the best of the best working on each aspect that they excelled in, nothing was left partially complete or 99% of the quality I wanted - it was all done perfectly and I honestly can not spot a single flaw or anything I would change if I were to do it again.

 

I have done nothing but be genuine, honest and where I could, help out others in the Supra community. I am a very easy going guy as well, and it takes quite a bit to provoke me. So sure, take your cheap shots at me if it makes you feel better... send me a photo when you get a Supra and do every single modification with your own hands.

To be fair I think you have misjudged his point. He was saying what you did isn't akin to what Hodge did, that's all. I don't see it as a dig at you I see it as a compliment to hodge for diy'ing it all.

[Inferno]

To me, this says otherwise:

 

unlike Inferno who just opened his chequebook!

[Scott]

To me, this says otherwise:

 

What part of that statement isn't factual?

 

All you gave in your reply was reasons for opening "your chequebook".

 

Hodge has done it on his own, you have paid to have it done for you.

 

There is nothing hostile or nasty in any of those statements. If you want to get picky your rant is a put down to Hodge as he has done it himself, according to you you need to pay for a professional finish making his 'not professional' as he is doing his from home.

Does it really matter how people get to the end product?

Was he happy to appreciate 'work' in any sense had gone into his car despite knowing whether it had all been done painstakingly by one person or by a garage?

[monsween]

There are many people on this forum who open their cheque book to get things done and there are others that do it themselves.

 

I wouldnt take it as a dig mate.

[Charlotte]

I mean, who pays for things by cheque these days?

[monsween]

H does

Quite the contrary, since he started it, I have been in awe at the time and effort Hodge has put into his build and the fact that he has done pretty much everything himself. I wish I could do the same, but I simply don't have the skills - it is not my area of expertise!

 

Saying my rant is a putdown to hodge is a strawman, I never mentioned his build or implied that it is unprofessional in any way. I was saying that I wanted professionals to do mine as I simply do not possess the skills to perform the work to the standard I wanted.
