Hi all, I thought i'd come back and see if anyone had read my mesaage. Damn I am humbled by the responses that you've sent me. I would just like to thank you all for the warm welcomes and would like to try to respond to some of them here: Jaz - Hi, you don't know how familiar the car is compared to my 6 Sport. Now all, try not to laugh to hard but gotta share / ask you something. Has anybody in the history of driving ever given themselves whip lash? Ok I could be the first! Driving the car today. Came up to this corner with lights but there are lights just 60 yds past them. As the first set change to green, you have about 5 secs to get to the second set before they change. Forgetting i'm in a new car i've put foot to floor like I have done a million times in my old car except i'm in the mps! My neck jerked back like you wouldn't believe! Thing is killing me now....... I promise I won't be doing that again! kevstewart, Rince, M4RTIN MPS - Hi guys. Silly question but ca I post pics here or do they have to be in a pictures section somewhere on the site? DJJUT, deltalimamike, martin_46, Knock_knock, sdg_3mps, rusty2503, MK6MPS - Thx for the warm welcome and hope you can give me some hints / tips Clarky6MPS - I haven't even thought about mods yet buddy. What kinda thing do you recommend? daviemps - Hi mate. It's the same colour as the one in your profile pic..... Silver but looks kinda blue in certain light. I hope that I replied to all and if I missed you, please accept my apologies. Take care all and hope to hear from you soon.....

Never given myself whiplash lol, but no long after I got my Supra I also purchased some new shoes. Due to their unfamilar feel, and the fact I wasn't totally expierienced with the cluth in my new car when I attempted to pull away from a set of traffic lights what actually happened was I proceeded to do a 20ft rolling burnout! The engine stuttered as I went to pull away as I'd not given enough revs so I poked the accelerator and well, much smoke ensued
