This sounds great - but your images are HUGE (in filesize, not resolution) to download. On my broadband connection the thread has taken 20 minutes and STILL hasn't finished loading, and stalled out on about half the images! :(
I think some of you deserve something of an update! The weather here has been just all kinds of wrong for working outside on cars - from the freezing temperatures, to the rain and the 9 inches of snow...it wasn't happening!
However, i did do SOME fiddling after my last post.
When the softline...
Dave! Tsk. Should have caught that this was in the wrong section! No soup for you!
To the OP:
This is the INTRODUCTION FORUM. This is NOT the place for tech stuff. Thread moved.
Ahoy! Welcome to Supramania :)
Nice to see more UK Members signing up, and even nicer to see a Mk2 that's not been eaten by the horrible climate & salt on the roads in the UK!
I'm guessing its an American thing, regarding looks. Cause i know of very few people here that wouldn't tear their limbs off for a Lotus Sunbeam :/
Side by side with a Chevette - it doesn't look very similar to me - the Chevette being longer, and having a 'droop snoot'.
This is the lengths people go to to save them:

Puts most supra builds into perspective!
I dont get why you guys dont like it - is it a shape thing, or just cause its in poor condition?
This is what they're supposed to look like in tip top condition:
They didn't make very many of them before Rootes went bye bye (thanks to Chrysler's piss poor management), and the amount of...

Yep - a 1980 Lotus Sunbeam. Last car ever made by the Rootes Group before Peugeot gobbled them up.
Yeah, it's taken a bit of a back seat as other stuff has cropped up (getting engaged etc) - but i am still having a think about it. It's one of those things that i wish there were a few people that knew more about electronics, or at least microcontroller programming, getting involved, like in...

Looks similar to a Mk1/2 Supra - but dinky! :D
Where can i get one, and who wants to loan me a MIG welder? :p
For those of you that don't drink - i need to tell y'all the tale of 20 pint night, you might want to start, so you too can enjoy the awesomeness of alcohol fuelled stupidity :p
Water. Drink plenty of it. The moment you start with the hurty brain - get yourself a bottle of water, or a large glass, and drink small amounts every 5/10 minutes for about an hour. Eat an orange, something fruity with sugars in, replenish your electrolytes. Energy drinks might sound like a...
I got a replacement Tin Mug in British Racing Green, a small recipe book, a terry's chocolate orange, and a bottle of cider - it's not about the presents (although i do love them!), i'm just glad i got to spend christmas with Amy and her family - beats spending it on your own in front of the...
