Nice build! Sorry to read of your bike going walkies. Assume you never heard of it ever again?

Hey Folks,
Sorry about the links - poor QA on my part! Now fixed :-)

Bike was never heard from again, never heard from the police again. However, the bike I replaced it with DID get stolen again in the same place 8 weeks later. This time though I had a tracker fitted which meant I got it back in under 30 mins. Worth its weight in gold.

You missed out Part 27.

thanks for sharing, trying not to consume blog post after blog post. lThe blogs reminds me of Bad Obsession Motorsport (YT channel) with the same style, passion, history and humour !

I do really like Supra's and Japanese performance cars generally, that's a tasty blue. Nicely written blog, I'm giving it a read...

"...given the asking price of £2999 meant that it was either overpriced or rougher than one of Jeremy Corbin’s mistresses."

Loved the rant about people trashing interiors. YES.

[Dr G]

I thoroughly enjoyed reading that, cheers!

Probably a coincidence, but was this car out and about in HW area this morning? I was following a dark blue Supra on my drive to work and at the time thought nothing of it. Similar colour and exhaust and pretty sure it was on an 'L' also.

Was very surprised to see this pop up again in my email the other morning, a welcome return indeed!

Thanks mate and thanks everybody for the positive feedback on the blog. It's nice to hear!
Dr G, no it wasn't me this morning. I was at the vet's. With my cat. Who proceeded to drop a Bonno sized sh*t in his cat box on the way there in an attempt to reverse hotbox the car and punish me for the afront to his morning.

I took a dump in his litter tray when we got home. That'll teach him.

Can you post a few pics and spec up here, OP?

The blog is a bit tricky to get through on my phone and I can't access at work!

Sorry... lazy!

Good blog. Let's see the car do some miles now.

[TommoAE86]

Great blog and excellent writing. Really enjoy all things 90's & Japanese performance cars

[adamwri]

Cracking read. Not had the busiest of afternoons thanks to it! I've a real soft-spot for this era of Jap performance.
