Guest Geneb Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Just to clear a few things up for a few people, the 3 supra's parked up on the hardshoulder on the M40 Slip road were Belly,Supra61 and Me. It wasn't us that had a crash it was that nice guy Ryan in the GTO that tags along with Belly. His car span 3x entering the slip road following belly smashing his front and rear wings and it wasn't driver error his car just span out, and from what Belly has said theres an issue with the rear steer as he's such a nice chap and has helped ryan out today by taking a look at it for him. All i can say is thank good the guy wasn't injured, it could have been so much worse and well done to Belly for helping out another Jap car owner:thumbs::thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Crikey. Very pleased to hear he's okay. Is the car totalled? Just 30 minutes before he was telling me how he was worried about the loss of handling he'd get after buying a supra He seemed gobsmacked when I said I thought that a stock Supra handled far better than any GTO i've driven.

Al Massey Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 you breaking things again andy? lol luckily hes alrite,is it fixable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yeah seems fixable, Belly whipped the front panels off for him, good man that he is! and Ryan has some new panels coming. thing is every GTO i have drive has always had better traction that the supra, Obviously a supra is gonna stick to the road well with your Body mass in it homer;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprafan72 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I have been an unlucky owner of a gto... and since those things are 4wd and 4ws i was so dissapointed with the way it handled compared to the Supra!!!! Glad the bloke is ok though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBDJ Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 thing is every GTO i have drive has always had better traction that the supra Traction != Handling IMHO tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belly Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 What an evening it was! Thats twice now that people following me have crashed. 1st max headroom into a GT3, now Ryan into the crash barriers. Just got back from looking at a celica for Ryan to use whilst he gets the gto fixed. The body parts are on the way, he's going to do all the prep work himself before getting it sprayed.
