No way, this has to be a record for number of PUK veterans that have reared their heads recently!

Good to see you on here bud, Ammo's right though /\ :D

Thanks all for the kind greeting. I recognise most of your names from PreludeUK. Ammo, Nucleustylzlude, Bri, Mercutio, Chuffter, Ratty and Merlin :Hello:

Hows the driving tip video's coming Ammo? :lol: I still remember the famous one of your silver Prelude, it's probably the reason why I bought my current silver 4th gen 8-)

I think I've finally had my time driving Preludes, I will still look at each one I see with fond memories, you never know I'll probably end up buying another one... again :lol:

I've still got the TRD3000GT Supra as a weekend car, and its still only done 17k miles since new :shock: I've also been offered my brothers old Lexus IS300 Sport as a daily driver, and well the offer was too good to refuse so the Prelude has to go :(

Ok, for those interested, heres a picture of my 4th gen (which is for sale)

and my weekend car (the picture is a little old 2008, but the car still looks the same :D)

You can see my old 3rd gen in the background on the left and my old Lexus GS300 sport behind the Supra. That 3rd gen was recently sold on ebay by the person who bought it from me, dunno what possessed him to remove the rear spoiler though, that was a post facelift rarity...

Lol driving tip video's have less crashing now, made me start learning to drift and that's where I spend most of my time now. Still got a 4G though just can't seem to sell up :lol:

I love the number plate, would be so tempted to get a sticker on the back saying "This"

The Supra is one of the genuine TRD3000GT's to be built on the Toyota production line, 1 of the 35 made and has its Toyota Technocraft plaque under the bonnet. As for BHP, I'm not sure how much, I can only assume it's 276 bhp (Japanese gentlemens agreement ;) ) I try not to drive it in bad weather, its bad enough when you get wheel spin in 2nd in the dry.

The Prelude is currently for sale, and yeah the number plate makes me smile, maybe I should get a sticker with "THIS" to go next to it. I have had people ask me if I was a butcher before... :roll:

So what's different about the trd supra then? Why did they only make 35? (A limited edition of that small a quantity is non-sensicle for a mass produced car).
