T-cut polish

Well, washing wasn't enough! I had to just had to try some of this:


So, washed the car again and then rubbed in some T-cut. Covered most of the car in it and it got rid of the little chips and dings that the bodywork has picked up over the years... awesome.

Lovely shine
Amazing reflections!
Parked once more, outside Princess Scampi's place :)

Parked and washed

Just given her a wash. Looking nice and clean today. The parking space is bloody tight... but I can do it in one!!

Dusk

Here's a photo of her at dusk:

Gorgeous!

Got her

Well, I have my first car - a Toyota Supra.

Drove her on the M62 yesterday afternoon and it was great fun. Covered about 80 miles and used probably about 1/4 of a tank; which isn't too bad for a 3l engine I suppose!


More photos to come, but here's a top down one looking at her from the balcony!

TRD Gear Knob

In ~24 hours I should have my first car. To say I am excited is an understatement! Anyway, last night when I was backing up some work, I went on eBay and bought this:


It's a Toyota Racing Development (TRD) gear knob. The one in the car at the moment wasn't much fun to use when I test drove it and looked a bit crap to be honest.

This one should just screw on and then it'll be a case of getting used to the new car! Pictures to follow!
