schemauk Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Evening everyone The name's Dom, 20 years old, from Wallingford, Oxford. I work for BMW at the MINI Plant in Oxford, and so have been driving nothing but a variety of 2.0d's since I was 17 (fantastic to start with, but JESUS do they get a bit dull!)... Currently knocking about in an X1 (first couple of pics), so excited for the new girl to come along I am finally within touching distance of getting my Supra - I pick it up TOMORROW and I've pretty much been shaking with excitement the entire week. It's a Silver 93' J-Spec, manual 5 speed N/A bought off of a current member - Rummy - and in my opinion is absolutely gorgeous (but then I would say that, I am buying it..! ) You can check out the advert here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?288631-93-Silver-J-Spec-Manual-N-A to see what she looks like, and will update with my own photo's as soon as I've got her home. Definitely looking forward to getting in with this community, and aim to attend as many of the meets as possible - on the more local side of things, anybody know how active things are around Oxfordshire/ Berkshire and Buckinghamshire etc.? The regional threads (England - South) seems a little quiet! Hoopefully see some of ya'll knocking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schemauk Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Wahaaay! I knew English would benefit me at some point in life! >. In regards to the seats, I may be tempted... But let me at least get the poor girl home first haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schemauk Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Welcome to the club Looks a nice example you've bought (except those eyebrows ) Haha thanks dude! But I thought the eyebrows weren't too bad! Is this a personal taste thing, or is it a general no no?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rummy Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Welcome mate. Don't be bullied by this lot I personally think it makes the front lines look meaner together with the bomex.

schemauk Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 So picked her up Saturday, and everythings good spent the weekend running her in, getting used to the feel and just playing around in general with my buddies, who own in no particular order an R33 GTR, Mazda MX-5, BMW 320i, and a CBR600RR. Needless to say I couldn't quite keep up with the GTR or the 600RR, but that's not what its all about (yet!). Couple of photo's attached. Not the most original, but there's plenty of time for photoshoots Got a few plans for her - first of all giving her a proper clean this weekend, detailing as much as I can, maybe even get into the engine bay. First of all getting her all alarmed up, with the full works. Following month getting the front bumper sorted (couple cracks where Rummy took her out in the snow!), and then getting the alloys refurbished. Debated buying new ones, but I really think the current ones suit! Might get them finished in black after the refurb though - who knows Runs nicely, got a lovely little growl, and she changes gears (nearly) flawlessly Rummy/Mike, if you read this - Can you please remind me what the little switch to the left of the aerial switch is?! I want to say traction control, as I cant find that damned switch anywhere, but I'm not sure of ANYTHING right now!! :S WAHHHOOOO, got a Supra! I get so many looks its unreal, and everyone (my age) that I pass wants to hear that Straight 6 calling her name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I missed your intro before matey so here's a belated and Glad you're happy with the car (although I'm not a fan of the eyebrow things... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest balloo Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 An n/a against a gtr and a cbr is like asking a chihuahua to take on a rottweiler and a pit bull. Even though it looks the prettiest,it's got no chance! None! Zilch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
