JamesG Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I've uploaded a video of it here: (right click...save as...) http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~jamesg/misc/supra100.mpg That Brendan Coogan is a twat, but I don't reckon anyone cares what he thinks considering all the crap he spouted about the other cars as well.

JamesG Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Originally posted by Jake Nice one, thanks James. How did you capture it? I'm not really set up for recording stuff off the telly, so i beamed it upstairs with a microwave video sender, then captured it with an el-cheapo USB thing with a composite video input that couldn't manage 25fps. That's why it looks so bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I'm shocked it came out 26th but wasn't this mentioned a while back in another thread and people were asked to go on and vote online? Maybe someone got a bit excited and clicked too many times? I was sad to see the car used wasn't a nice standard example in one of the better colours, a J-Spec in red with white wheels and a tiny front plate doesn't really portray the classy looks of a budget supercar IMO.

I'm getting a little sick of reading derogative remarks about red Supras. I prefer red and like my car to look a certain way but I wouldn't criticise the look of anyone else's car!

michael Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Bet you wouldn't say no to a red Ferrari! Sadly you've just lost your bet then. Red would be my last choice of colour if and when I reach Ferrari status. Red cars just don't do it for me at all. I'm getting a little sick of reading derogative remarks about red Supras. I prefer red and like my car to look a certain way but I wouldn't criticise the look of anyone else's car! You like red, I don't like red - just as well life throws us these things otherwise we'd all be wandering around looking like clones.

michael Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 The point I was making was that all the other cars featured on the prog seemed to be standard cars in great condition, then the Supra comes along and it's got white alloys, exhaust, small plate... nothing out of the ordinary but it wasn't the Supra as Toyota intended it, I would have preferred to see a standard one.... even a red one!

merckx Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 You like red, I don't like red - just as well life throws us these things otherwise we'd all be wandering around looking like clones Fair enough, I prefer red but the difference is I don't knock the silver and black cars. I didn't say you would buy a red Ferrari, but if by a miracle someone gave you one free of charge. Would you say no? So I've won the bet!

J4CK50N Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Ah well #26 isn't too bad if you think of the company it is keeping!! Much higher than the Ferrari F40!! The reason no-one will have heard of the reviewer is because he gives sh*t reviews on Men & Motors! I dont really recall any grounds for his statements. Just random waffling!! Just my 2p worth!

Jay Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Jaw dropping looks and jet fighter performance in an affordable package I don't know about anyone else, but that talking phallus' comments were against the grain of the rest of the commentary.

stt Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 The only bit that really scared me is that the scooby came higher,I mean the modern day XR3i came higher on a list than the beloved supra....sob,there is no god:twak: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
