You make it sound like you lost your wife, then popped out and got a nice Thai lady :D

hey, we have a lot of joint skyline/supra meets up here in Aberdeen so feel free to join us on the next one (one soon probably)

 

At the last meet a girl came in her flip painted R32 GTR from Fife so you should have a convoy buddy :)

 

Get yourself onto http://www.skylineowners.com some great localish guys there, and I'm a member there too, to help arrange joint meets.

 

Anyhoo.. I'll hopefully get to see your new 33 at Knockhill. :D

things arent going according to plan, i sent off for a history check on the car and guess what:search: it's been a cat "c" total loss:rolleyes:

so i went back down the garage and lifted the supra, so after all the bloomin hasstle im back to square one

however i have seen a really nice one on the skyline owners.com for sale so im gonna get intouch with the guy, hopefully this one will be the rite one thistime:)

You'll regret going from Supra ownership to Skyline ownership IMO. They just aren't so well engineered or reliable again IMO - that's generally what I've found between Toyota and Nissan.

 

Plump for a Supra TT - have your cake and eat it ;)

 

Good price to get for your NA in any case!

 

Cheers,

 

Brian.

Huh? I thought you had sold it and the new owner had paid you and taken it away?

 

hey jake

 

the guy that bought it was the guy that runs the garage i was buying the R33 from

as soon as i saw the history report i calld him and he was good enough not to be a ass about it all so i told him the deal was off as far as im concerned i either have a R33 with a trade in on the supe or ill just keep the supe as i really do like it i just need a little more room in the back for josh

It looks a minter ;) Gotta be a much better deal in the wet, can throw it around the bends a lot more with 4WD and it'll stick like glue. I know a few supra owners who've gone on to Skyline ownership and wouldn't go back. Horses for courses, eh? ;)

 

I'm not a purest, love all jap performance cars :D enjoy mate!!

 

I think you should show it of to the Jap North East lads, they're a nice bunch.

hey thanks for the comments

 

gaz i will be getting new wheels soon anyhoo (ultralights) are the wheels on it worth anything 2nd hand?

as far as the TT supra goes it was more a factor of space in the back for my son (josh) he just couldent get in the back of the supe atall and i gotta be honest in the wet its just as good as in the dry, which in GB is prob the better deal
