Not been here in a while

[SmokeGrinder]

Hello everyone!
Just wanted to let you all know I am alive and well.
I've owned a couple of cars since the Explorer
Lexus Soarer 2.5GTT - fantastic fast car, sold it for some reason.
2007 Jeep GC 5.7 Hemi, sold it after 6 months as it was crap
Saab 95- Aero, fast but not too good and it broke so I sold it.
Now - Lexus Soarer 4.0 V8 GTL. Best car i've ever had!

No plans to get another x yet as we don't have many left in the UK now, and i'm enjoying my Soarer too much, I am sure a couple of people here have them.

Anyway, nice to come back and check how you are all doing every once in a while.

That can't be Tom... Want a rematch vs Howard's daughter in chess?

 

[SmokeGrinder]

That was years ago! I am sure she is even better at it now!

 

[Howard]

Blimey!!!!! Back from never never land eh. Good to hear from you.

 

[SmokeGrinder]

I'm here now www.soarerworld.com Nice to hear from you all, how are you Mr. H?

 

[SmokeGrinder]

Look what I did to the Soarer this weekend when I was changing the rear brakes!!!!

 

[Howard]

I guess Japanese rust is better than American rust eh.

 

[SmokeGrinder]

its not as bad as it looks in that photo. I do agree it does look like it's been used for boat launching

 

[Howard]

Ummm you bent it... Fixed it yet ?

 

[SmokeGrinder]

only bent it yesterday, just getting the parts now. It's not doing the tyre uk: tyre) any good at all!

here is what they said about it on my forum.

"WD40 it now and again tomorrow, and the next day, it wont help as it still wont come off but it will stop you from wondering if WD40 would have helped"

 

[Blee1099]

Yea its the control arm.. You need some big power tools to disconnect them.. A trip to Howard's?

 

[Howard]

Use a BFH to fix it.

 

[SmokeGrinder]

might need to grind it off. Blee, want to come back to the mother land to give us a hand?

 

[Blee1099]

I can take it to the auto-recycler here and have it smashed into a 3x3 foot cube if you like

ten years later and it's still here.
