turbonut Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi you lovely leicester folk! Need somewhere to park the beast thats free from speed bumps, ramps and can park all day (Saturday or Sunday) without taking out a loan and on a regular bus route into the city centre? Cant park in usual place due to bollards and clearance issues which were not an issue with previous motor ta lolx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 You can park it at mine if you want and the bus stop is 2 mins away town is about 25 mins on the bus. Anywhere near city centre you will have to pay and display during the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHanky Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi Linda, I was gonna say don't go anywhere near the city centre and the shires as poor old Thorena cries at the very sight of speed bumps Hows it going anyway? Is she all fixed from when those idiots damaged her? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is she all fixed from when those idiots damaged her? Mark Hi Mark I'm sourcing a replacement front bumper for it (Thorena, huh?mmm...interesting ) rather than repair the front as that crack could resurface. Need to know of a body shop, that would do a pucka job, pref east or west mids so I don't have to be without it for long Lovin it to bits at the mo, still grinning like an idiot each time I get out of 'the beast' I've grown a speed bump radar in my brain since taking charge of my wee beastie:search: Yep, sold the yaris couple weeks ago so some £ free to do the bodywork and itching to get started. Hows your TT getting on? BPU'd yet? Hows Vicky's scooby? Hope your all keeping well lolx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hows your TT getting on? BPU'd yet? Hows Vicky's scooby? Hope your all keeping well lolx Im glad your having fun (apart from the fear of speed bumps). We are both good thanks. I love my TT and am currently collecting all the parts I need for BPU, although I needed to replace my clutch and flywheel a month ago and that has severely dented my funds Hay ho Vicki is happy with the scooby but she doesn't have the same passion for it as she did with the Supra unfortunately we need a practical car as well though so needs must She was however pleased about having a 4WD car when the snow came down. She really hates driving on ice and snow but with the scooby she felt a bit safer. What bumper you going for by the way??? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 spoilt for choice! quite like the Bomex UAD 148, 'big mouth' then I saw Uzthedentist's project - a TRD front - and thought, mmm maybe... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=99931 The stillen front has better clearance but not so stylish. Want something a bit different but not too crazy, ya know? Any ideas gratefully excepted! Though dad teased me about what a great snow plough the beast would be lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think my favourite is the Whifbitz bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
