Green Peace Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 7 Years too I think for me....my first was a 95 UK TT that i actually bought AGAIN a year later so my name appears on its logbook twice N730 GGK...then I traded it in for my Jap Spec Green one almost 4 years ago. Before that I never owned a car for more than a year before getting itchy feet... Well Done ...Where you on the original UK Supra Site? (From The 90's) I think my pic of me and my old Supra is still there.. I'm Member 94. They are a bit cheaper these days..arn't they he he!!!

MONKEYmark Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 i have had mine for 4 years. bought it in sep 2000, got it with 35,000 miles on clock and was £17995 part ex my old mitsubishi gto tt and paid cash difference. only had the gto for 10 months. dont use mine as much now. seems a shame paying insurance and tax for it to be parked up.

The Hornet Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Nope, Never had a car longer than 14 months, but had the Supe 7 months now and have no intention of selling it! When I have finished the mods I want doing on it in say, 8 months time. It will be put in the garage and used as weekend car Then I'll go to Z cars and start on a Mini project Easy for me as they are only based 7 miles up the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Peace Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Mee too Which one is yours Si ? HERE Not seen that Club ...was a member of UK Supras Group...amazingly enough the database is still up....I'm actually member 94. Branners is No 2, and had a Mk111 then also Chris Wilson is No 90, Terry S is member 160 and Ian C is there with a pic of him in his old Mk111 (I was a showoff cause I had a MkIV he he ) Scroll down the members list on the left hand side (takes a few seconds sort itself out) and click on Member 94 and ya will see a pic of me (looking 10 years younger he he) and a pic of my ole Black Beauty. Plus there are pics of Chris wilson no-doubt looking younger too lol. Its the original Mk3 Supra site that allowed Mkiv supras to join, most people on it had Mk3's then and eventually a lot of them including Branners got MkIV's...there are now about 3000 members listed on there altogether. http://www.supras.co.uk/membership/database/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Yay, member 0023 - Old Skool My first step into the world of mechanics was, amazingly, and you may find this hard to believe, a head gasket job on my MkIII talk about in at the deep end lol Can't beat a red car, people who don't like them are -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 ahh, the good olde days of smartgropes.... Time really does pass by quickly, I helped start supras.co.uk so long ago its untrue. I remember seeing the first mkiv at a supras.co.uk meet and it was like a dream come true. How everybodys life must have changed. I remember b'have rolling up to a meet with his b'have plate on his car and his tarmac eating fuel at Trax. Chis and his head gasket epic, starting up mkivsupra.net to a roar of silence, James Ashley (Steve Chohan to his friends), the first JAE we attended, TorqueIC coming and going, TDI coming and going and coming and going and coming and going, the 'nip it in the bud' thread...and now the club is going to a level I could never have got it to...brings a tear to my eye, I love you all JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hey JB, long time no speak! I remember showing up at a Power engineering dyno day years ago, met you and a guy called Justin Fodden ( where did he go?) Went for a test drive with Justin in his silver mk 4 - never been so scared in my life! Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith C Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hey JB, long time no speak! I remember showing up at a Power engineering dyno day years ago, met you and a guy called Justin Fodden ( where did he go?) Went for a test drive with Justin in his silver mk 4 - never been so scared in my life! Charlie. Yeah, perfectly normal experience for a Foden passenger. Best thing was his toddler son Scott, who would a) sleep during maneuvers that would make a grown man gibber in fear b) Make car noises along the lines of 'brrrrrrmmmmTISSHHbrrrrrmmmmmmmmmTISHHHHH' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
