Hi all!
I'm at that age when I should be over such things as fast cars, but then I thought... If life's downhill from now on, shouldn't it actually get faster? Makes sense (scientifically) to me...
But then, where to go from here? My last 2 cars were a Jun built R33 Skyline GTR & a UK spec Mkiv twin turbo Supra!
Out of the two, the Supra was the more 'pleasant' drive, & lots cheaper to maintain!
After being forced into early retirement due to spinal injuries, (ouch), the last few years I've stuck to 'easier to get into' 4x4's- Landcruiser Amazons, to be precise, but last year I began hankering for a little more speed & agility; I thought I'd found it in my rather insane, quite amazing & futuristic Isuzu Vehicross! 2000 W reg, imported brand new (1 of 10 in UK), 3.2v6 24v DOHC, 5sp TOD auto, ABS, Sports suspension, Recaro's, (4 seat SWB), twin airbags, 33,000 miles genuine, a/c, TV/DVD/Radio/Cassette, reversing camera, 5" tuneable carbon/stainless back box, genuine carbon induction kit... It's fast, (raced in Japan & USA), it drives like a sports car & grips like the proverbial; everyone from kids to grandads want to ask about it!
I've decided to retake the plunge, though, & go back to either a twin turbo or aerotop Supra, egged on by my son & his damned300ZX twin turbo!
So, if anyone has a spare 7 grand or so, or a desperate need for an insane 4x4 & a spare vgc Supra hanging around, it would save me advertising....?
It's nice to be back here- I used to be a member some years ago but lost my way a little; I'll need a hand getting out of a low slung car, but isn't it nice to meet new people every day? Ha ha!;)
