New to the forums so thought I'd introduce myself :D

 

Names Adam, and I have adored supras ever since Ive had an interest in cars. Will hopefully be looking to buy within the next 4-6 months, with about £15k to spend (including insurance costs).

 

Im currently 19, but will soon be 20. Ive only had my license for half a year or so though :rolleyes:. Do you guys reckon theres a hope in hell of me getting insured?

 

If not im still hoping to get one and heavily mod it (not so much astehtically) until ive aged a year or so more :p.

Cheers for the warm welcome lads and lasses,

 

Yeah ive been dipping around for insurance, on a serious note a third of the 15K is very likely to be insurance I know but I will do anything to pursue this :D. Do you think it will be better going for a non-turbo to begin with, and then upgrading to a TT at a later time? Im a tad hesitant to do this, because I can see myself putting alot of hours into this car.... and then to start and do it all again? On the other hand im sure thats half the fun :cool:

 

I still need to brush up on my car knowledge before I go hunting though :p

if your a competant driver with rwd drive experience then, with that much to spend, trust me just go straight for a uk tt. BUT another option would be to go for a cheap n/a for about 3.5 4k and learn more about driving and the actual car, then you will know better as to what you want in a year or two to come

I hate to ask this but what is N/A? non-turbo/automatic?

 

I really do think it would be wise to upgrade to a TT at a later stage. I imagine the experience of a N/A could be invaluable.

 

So would that be fairly cheaper too (obv until I decide to upgrade)?

Welcome m8.

 

To be perfectly honest with you I'm go for a very cheap N/A first.

 

Play with it for a while without the dangers associated with a TT.

 

Learn how it works on the road. Its too sad a thing of late to see guys wipe out in a supra. There have been far too many in the north east of late.

 

Cut your teeth then go for broke.

 

This may sound stupid but spend a good few of that wad you have to go Karting. Then have the N/A Supra as your road toy.

Sounds like the N/A is the way to go then. Means I can get it a bit sooner :D and I wont have to fork out as much (at least until I decide to move on to the TT). Ill keep you guys posted as to when I start shopping around (2-3 months).

 

Thanks again for the welcome and help :D
