Hi to all. I've just got the Supra that I've always wanted. Bought, well prised, really from a friend. Original UK Twin Turbo in Silver with Beige leather interior. Completely standard with no modifications at all.

Serviced religiously every 12 months and just covered 50,000 miles when I picked it up. Never seen rain until I brought it up North.

My mates Wife had only ever been in it 6 or 7 times during all those years and he even made her take her shoes off before she was allowed to get in it. How he got away with that I'll never know. Anyway, fabulous car, drives and looks like new. I had to sell my 911 (996) to be able to buy it, which I'd had for 6 years and do you know what.....

I don't miss the Porsche one little bit, the Supra is amazing and not as common making it something really special. Performance wise it's every bit as quick and more enjoyable to drive, plus those looks just blow me away. Anyway that's it, I'll try and post a photo.

Thanks for the welcome DNK and all the other welcomes as wll.

What a friendly bunch you all are. I didn't expect a response so quickly.

Look forward to joining an event or meet sometime.

The car is the Auto version.

Cheers to the Supra MkIV Owner's Club...

Hi ABZ,

The Porsche was a cracking car, don't get me wrong, but after 6 years I got bored with it. It was always costing money and every time you went out in it you worried what it might cost again. Leave it for 10 days and the battery would be flat. Cost me around 14K over the 6 years keeping up on the maintenance.

The older air cooled Porsches are better. Mine being a 996 water cooled was made to a budget to make Porsche profitable and you can tell. The seats, fittings, everything is

made to a price and the quality has gone.

The Supra on the other hand was totally over engineered for the time and has fabulous quality detailing and fittings. Nothing cheap and nasty here.

Also I love the looks, the performance, the rarity and I like being the minority rather than the majority.

The Supra blows me away, it has a je ne s'ais pas, that I can't explain. Bit like when I first met my Wife and thought she was the one I always wanted.

The Porsche was temporary, the Supra is here to stay....
