Guest ElliottG61 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hi guys, My name is Elliott and I'm 19 from York. I absolutely love Supras and have been obsessed with them since I was a kid, all my mates think I'm mad because every time the subject of cars comes up I just end up going on about Supras lol. At the moment I drive a 1.2 Punto haha my first car! Not quite to the standard of a Supra but gets the job done. I've always said I'll own a Supra as soon as the cost of insurance allows me to so hopefully in a few years I can finally get one! Anyway nice to meet you all!

Westy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Welcome mate! Keep checking insurance as there are lads of your age on here with TwinTurbos...phone round the brokers suggested on here and don't wait if you can't afford it now...wish I'd bought mine earlier!

Dnk Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 There's a UK spec TT in the classifieds on here that you could probably insure for under £1k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calzo21 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Welcome to the club! My own First car (drove a few of my dads cars after passing) was a 1.4 Clio But now I'm 20, got a Jspec TT and insurance is £1650 from Admiral, as Dnk said UK specs get cheaper premiums as a bonus But remember there a total different kettle of fish from a 1.2 punto You searching at the minute ?? If so keep on checking, if not check and check. I was looking at adverts on Autotrader/piston heads/eBay since January and got mines at end of June Also look at the classified section here youl get a well kept motor for your money that's for sure Welcome to club anyways mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ElliottG61 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks for the advice guys Yeah I am looking at the moment, thanks for the tip I didn't know the car being a UK spec would effect the cost of insurance so much! Also yeah, I'm aware a Supra will be a bit different to drive than my 60hp Punto! Just can't wait to get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ElliottG61 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 the think is are you prepared to drive a Supra? ask yourself, It's my dream to own and drive one, and if that means me driving like an old person until I have enough experience in the car to drive it how it was meant to be driven, then that's what I'll do!

TheTurtleshead Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 the think is are you prepared to drive a Supra? ask yourself, I bought by first N/A manual at 18. I've now just bought supra number 4 @ 21. Have a can-do attitude and be sensible and you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
