Suppose I deserved that for being honest.

I like the beep. Especially when I jump in and select reverse without thinking. It's not very often that I do that. But in 5 yrs of ownership probably done it 3times. So it's nice just to be warned by the beep.

Sorry buddy. Must have been the way I read it.But then again I had just finished reading them stupid topics in newbies from our Spanish friend. Must have got me all muddled up. Lol

Only after a set of leather seats. Not the whole car. But you are right. I missed out on two celicas due to distance. But I've still got the one I bought 5yrs ago and still very happy. Seats just looking a touch tired

Why is everything so far away.

Nice

Great news buddy. Glad you have found the love again. :-D

Mine was worn carrier pins. Causing a Clacking noise from front pads.

Glad to here you are having second thoughts mate. I was like this last December. Mine had turned into an oil burner over night. Got ridiculous. Seriously thought of getting rid. But ams came to the rescue with a spare engine and I've not lookedback since. Had 4yrs trouble free motoring. 6 months of dilemma. But now ivejust entered yr 5of ownership and really happy again. Just spent a load on breaks all round with an avensis front caliper upgrade. So hopefully I will now have some more trouble free motoring. Keep the faith buddy.

Whiplash is a very real condition. I know this because I still suffer from it. Like I've posted before, people fraudulently claiming whiplash are a bunch of arxxholes. But when you've been rear ended in a stationery car by some idiot doing 60+ mph, your neck and shoulders are not designed to take that kind of impact without serious injury. I've been hit three times now thru no fault of my own. And I now suffer from a condition called thoracic outlet syndrome. This is directly linked with whiplash injuries. I will be going for surgery in September to have my top rib basically removed and some muscle removed aswell to relieve the pressure on my thoracic artery and nerve bundle.. At this present moment in time, I literally have no pulse in my right arm when I raise it above horizontal. Due to compression of the artery. At the same time the nerve bundle gets trapped and I have next to know feeling in my fingers. I am not looking forward to the operation at all. So yes I agree people falsely claiming for whiplash are idiots. But whiplash and it's after effects yrs later can be very serious.

Same here as above mate. Especially if you are now in pain. Talking from experience mate having been hit 3times in the rear. Whiplash is a real pain. And as above your chassis may have taken more impact than you realise. If you are insured even without your mot then reporting it is a no brainer. I'm sure there's others on here with accurate info when it comes to insurance/mot.

Sad to hear this buddy. Obviously she seen pound signs with you showing interest. Pity she didn't understand what you were trying to do. ie save a celica from turning into a puddle of muck.

Technically yesterday. But a brand new set of genuine mats.

Illuminated Ignition ring courtesy of serratia. Cheers dude prompt service. Hopefully I will get it fitted this weekend.

Great inspirational story . Pm'd you buddy

Only my opinion mate but yours look far nicer than standard 16 gen7 alloys.

As above arrived fitted and tested

Glad you are OK pal. Them pics brought back some horrible memories for me Apart from they had to take roof off my astra coupe to get my ex out. But when all said and done these coupes are built well. Again mate glad you walked away from it. That's the most important part.

Rear heated windscreen repair kit from pulsar. Has anybody tried this stuff.

New infill and club stickers.

I think the average celica owner where I live haven't got a clue about what they drive. Nor bothered about looking after or cleaning them. And they never smile as you go past them or even wave. I've never spotted another club member either. Surely I can't be the only one in Derby.? Oh and yes I'm also bald 46 slightly over weight and also used to be blonde lol
