View Full Version : Hey from Surrey!
Hey everyone!
New member here from Surrey!
Not got my Supra yet, but well down the road to buying one, got some test drives lined up this week, which is cool! Been toying with the idea of getting one now for a while, finally decided to get shot of my new, sensible car and go for it - you only live once after all!
Can't think of a car I'd rather own, they just look so stunning!
Anyways, hopefully a few other ppl on here in my neck of the woods - any tips & advice much appreciated!
Rich :)

Yeah I know Godalming, have a friend that lives there..! Will have to sort out another Surrey/Sussex meet soon.
Hehe, sound fun!
It will be the first tuning step for you if you get a twin-turbo, so the offer is there if you want to ;)
I'm between Camberley and Bracknell if you wanna come find me

Rich,
Good to see another local owner. I live in Haslemere and work in Guildford. So no doubt will be seeing you around at some point.
I have a black Veilside TT (N reg).
Cool, looks like there are a few ppl around here then, which is good!
Maybe I've seen some of you driving around? Maybe even ur the guy who works in the office park over the road from my house and drives past every day in that lovely silver soop? If so, I'm well jealous... ...Every time I see that car, I just want one more and more!

The silver one could be mine :)
I know Steve from the kebab shop very well. It's almost my second home

Cattershall Lane by any chance? Sideskirts and five (thin twin)spoke wheels? that will have been Snooze...........just sold it i believe.......
Hi and welcome. Good luck with the purchase... Im not too far away either in Reigate. Mine should be road going from this weekend (been a long time...:) )
Always good cars on here for sale, see For Sale section... And some of the traders.

Hi Mr Angry,
yeah it is you! Isn't there another silver/white one in the area? Got a funny number plate?
I know Steve as well remember when he got the supra, was it silver? Him and his brother always had beemers before he said to me. Have you seen the r32 skyline in the area as well?
Cheers,
Phil
:welcome: mate....
I was in Godalming a couple of weeks back having a brew.... weirdly..
Hope you find a nice one.

Went last week. Look out for a big, black Aristo instead! :D

If you're through again in the daytime, give us a shout next time and come say Hi!

Yup, that'll be the one - I live right opposite the entrance to the office park - used to watch out for it every day... ...the more I saw it, the more I want one!
Shame, gave me something exciting to look at in an otherwise dull road! Hehe, maybe the tables will soon be turned and he'll have to look at mine every day!

There is a silver one with a Northern Irish plate about. He waves when I see him but I don't think he is on here.
There is also a spoilerless blue one. He is on here but I can't remember what his username is.
I take it you mean the white skyline?
Do you have a supe? or are you thinking of adding to the Biggin population?

That would be cool.
Charlotte's folk are in Farnham so we're up around those parts every couple of weeks. I'll give you a shout next time we're around :)
Im in burpham just off the a3, not too far from godalming either :)
Sly. You should try and get to the meet this coming Saturday at Cobham The details are in the South East section. under SEM

Yeah that's it a irish plate, The skyline's a black one seen it going up/down the hill and coming out of sunningvale, have not seen the white one.
I don't have a supe at the moment, was originally thinking of a skyline, as I thought the supe's were too dear! And I saw the white skyline maplewoods have for sale at the moment£6000.

Personally I don't like the look of Skylines. But they are certainly a good car. I haven't regretted getting my Supra at all in the three years that I have had it.

Shame we didn't work it out earlier - always happy to take someone for a spin!
Sorry - the Aristo isn't anywhere near as pretty as the Supra :( You probably won't even spot it amongst the other wagons! :(

Ah well, such is life - would explain why I'd not seen it for a little while, I've driven round the office park a few times now looking for it too - figured whoever owned it might have gone on holiday or something
Ah well, fingers crossed I'll have my own one very soon!

Happy hunting, mate! :)

Hehe, might just have to do that!
Mind if I ask why you got rid of urs?
Our first child is nearly one year old now - he himself fits quite nicely into the Supra and you can even fit just about enough for a weekend away too.
But when you start going away for longer, and you need not just the pushchair and all the toys, but a cot, all his feeding equipment, all his clothes, all our clothes, etc. I'm afraid the Supra isn't quite big enough (damn close for such a quality car, but not quite).
Last Christmas, after loading up all our stuff and presents and squeezing little Adam into the back, there wasn't actually enough space left for Vicki (his mum), who got put on a train instead!!!
Personally, I think I did pretty well keeping the Supra for another 6 months after that incident!! Probably would have fended off the demanded sale for a few more months too if the perfect Aristo hadn't become available last week.
Was gutted to see the Supra being driven away last week, to be honest - it was in pretty good physical shape, and I KNOW the engine was running damn near perfectly - if I ever get the chance to get another Supra, think I'll be lucky if I find another one as good. :(
The Supra was the most amazing car I've owned - pretty cheap to buy, ridiculous performance, and absolutely NO mechanical problems in the 2 years I had it. Looking after it, I'm convinced that engine would have run for another 10 years!
Just hope the 2JZ in the Aristo lives up to my expectations!
Speaking of fitting things in the supe's.
If I was to go to the airport is there enough room in boot for suitcases etc...?
What a shame!
Thankfully that won't be a problem for me, as there's just me to think about. I don't even need it to drive to work in or anything, as I have a works vehicle for that, so I can use it purely to have fun in and enjoy driving!
I just need to find one first...
Seriously tho, if anyone has a Supra for sale: mkIV, 3L TT, Manual OR Auto, Veilside (or similar) body kit, Ideally in Quicksilver or black that's in GOOD condition, then drop me a line, Ideally after a UK spec manual, but to be honest an Auto / J-spec would also do just fine...
Hi mate welcome to the club, I live in Banstead but work in Guildford so if I can be off any help just ask.
Welcome buddy, I live in Merrow with my TT :)
cool, thanx for the welcome everyone! Never imagined there'd be so many ppl in my area on here!
Just need to get me a soop now and get out there with it
