Green Peace Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 its funny..I read your thread title and knew exactly what you were refering to straight away...I read that article till about half way and realised the Jorno..had no -idea..didn't even know which model he was talking about, i reckon they 'pool' these journalist' to save money he prob works for 'Mother and Baby' magazine and 'Toupe Monthly' or something too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Ive come up against the Mk3 not Mk4 brigade before....a guy who was a walking motoring encyclopedia - his argument was that the 'Mk1' was actually not a Supra at all, but a Celica Mk3, and was never sold in the UK...hence the true Supras only started with what we call the Mk2....he was as adamant as adam adamant, and as some would say, very wrong.

Ewen Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Please mallet me if Im wrong, but the Celica 1 and 2 looked alike except for the nose....Celica 3 was a Mustang wannabe, Celica 4 was a right horse but was stretched and widened to become the Celica Supra Mk1, first with 4 cyl then 6 cyl in line around ,79....Celica Supra Mk2 was a Capri 2.8 contender but IMO didnt handle well at all - Lotus tried to sort this out and it got butcher wheelarches and wheels at the same time....v. nice in black by the way Oh, and theres a pic of a Mk3 owner who got his tyre aspect ratios wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
