View Full Version : Newbie in Inverkeithing
Hi everybody,
Been trawling the website for a while to get tips on getting a decent supra - what a great bunch!!Taken a while to say hi because I've been really busy in work, but todays a bit slow so I've finally got a chance!!
Served my RWD apprenticeship in a mk1 MX5 1.8, broke my heart to sell her and I even shed a tear much to the amusement of my girlfriend!!Sad I know...but I hope I've moved on to bigger and better things - certainly bigger anyway!! Got a tidy manual n/a for now while i save up for a tt (and the associated insurance!), kinda like the second stage to my training!
So if you see a silver supra with proper shiny rims in and around Fife give me a flash (of your headlights ;) )
Cheers,
Iain
Welcome, there seem to be soooooo many supra's in Scotland, I'm sure if you check out the events section there's a few meets coming up :)
Welcome buddy, prob see me flying about up there, as i work alot in Fife at the mo.
If you see a black TT making a noise its me, 2nd tubbi is playing up.
Hope to see you at some meets.

Welcome, the membership in Scotland is growing quickly, specially in your area and Tayside. Take it easy, get used to the car. Have you seen the planned meet in Aberdeen in the summer
oh no, Inverkeithing, you take your wheels off at night?
Prob see you about as just up on the hill, so if a maniac in a blue MX5 or red fiat coupe starts waving at you like a loon, don't laugh ;)
Todd of the MX5 OC???Its a small world!!I live on Cameron Grove, up t'hill from you, walk past your house most days!Your 5 is nice, gorgeous colour, Fiat is nice too, I see that you've run out of japanese motors to buy - been up there a year and there a different car outside your house every week!! I'll stop say hi next time I see you polishing!

Hi Ian, welcome to the site!
I'm from Arbroath but my girlfriend is from your neck of the woods. Kirkcaldy.
Rest assured if I see ya I'll give you a wave! I'll be the one taking it easy. I think its a bigger jump for me movin up from a vectra than for you movin up from a 5.
Enjoy the site!:)

Welcome :)
Welcome on board Ian,saw you on Sunday Forth Bridge I was in the Castrol sup,did'nt get a very good look at your supra but i'm sure it is nice(all supras are in my eyes) take a little time to get used to it and you will have plenty of great times to come,cheers,nige.
Cheers everyone, Nige, you and your mates inspired me to say hi to be honest!!
Mine is a bog standard manual sz, just got nice wheels, lowered bilstein springs and a powerflow exhaust, saving my money for a TT:d !
Surprised how easy it is to drive, the 5 was like a go kart-real good fun in the wet, and I thought the Supra would be a bit heavy and cumbersome, however its really quite agile and controllable and obviously much quicker with loads more grip!!
And its much better on the motorway, the Mazda would feel a little wobbly above 85 (even with 4 wheel alignment sorted)the Supra has so far reached 145 before it felt a little shaky ... thats 145kph honest!
I'am sure you will have great fun,take it easy in the wet though they can be a handfull,master the n/a then get the TT you will be amazed at the difference.
