    Body Parts

    And no, before you get the wrong idea, this isnt about black market organs ;) The two front wings on my '88 really need to be replaced - some complete bastard was trying to break into the car the other day and before giving up, kicked the passenger wing at the bottom, which just disintegrated...

    Is my Supra dead?

    Okay, theres a strange and worrying problem with my supra. Yesterday, whilst cruising around at about 40/50mph, i noticed smoke/steam coming from the bonnet. Thinking it was an electrical fault or fire i stopped, opened the bonnet and the smell was like burning wiring or electronics. I didnt...

    Side Trims

    Thats a secondary aerial that used to exist for a car-phone. Only the aerial remains, but i cant remove it unless i find something to plug the hole :( Mine's an '88 spec, bought from a dealership - so its definitely a UK model, although it *looks* like a narrowbody.

    FAVORITE STARBUCKS FOOD THREAD!

    Venti Hot Chocolate with whipped cream and topped with cocoa powder, with a brownie on the side. Good when its cold, but only when ordered from the branch at the bottom of Tottenham Court Road, towards Goodge Street tube on the Northern Line. I bet none of you understood 90% of that :D
