Had a photo shoot with Thacko last week and he's put together a nice little write up on the Supra.

I've know Thacko and the Minty Fresh lot for a while and finally thought the car was good enough for a write up.

Found a cracking location literally a stones throw from the house, there is an old railway line that's been ripped up behind my house and there is access onto it (just). So trotted up the train line with the supra for a cool shoot. I've attached the MintyFresh Facebook page and also a link to the blog write up as well as a few photos in the thread.

I really like that. I've always wanted a Supra and feel now I'm too old. Funny that as of all the cars I fancy, and want to eventually get, the Supra and the Skyline might need put to the back of the list just because I have this weird notion I'm too old. How mental is that. I'm a feckin saddo smile

Well since it's hibernation there have been a few issues.

The main one being rotten fuel lines!! The supra has a cradle that protects the fuel and brake lines from water/rain/chuckies/dead animals etc and if the cars been sitting for long periods it turns into a water trap frown

So 4 months sitting up has rotten through the fuel lines.

After a trip to the garage it's had new fuel lines front to back and since it was already there the brake lines were replaced as well.

Back and ready for action! Roll on Summer
