Mike B Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 The end of an era for those who knew the car in Terry's company, but I'm proud to say that it has gone to a good home. As my understanding of sups increased so did my respect for this car until I decided to take the plunge. A lot of respect to Terry in what he has created, it is truely more drivable than my stock TT even in sequential setup, and needless to say is rapid upwards of 3.5k. To Terry - thanks for being such a straight guy about it - and for putting up with my seemingly endless questions regarding it's setup perameters, I assure you she will be well cared for! I took my old man out in it last night (he's a R34 man through and through) he was absolutely stunned how well engineered it was beyond just pure power - it blew his conception of what turbo cars were capable of - and even said that the car felt like a high power naturally aspirated engine - high praise coming from a ceramic R34 owner. I wish Terry all the best and sincerely hope he still has an active part in the forum - as his straight down the line attitude and technical know how are an asset to us all.

Mike B Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 love ur silver supe lol - it was chasing you around bruntingthorpe! you should look in your rear view mirror more (although you'd probably need a pair of binoculars!) Thanks to Jurgen for the silver car - it is in beautiful condition - will be up for sale some time soon, and lol with TRD - I nearly bought his car instead of the silver one - had the bankers draft in my pocket - for he nearly bought the car I have now - small world or what!?

Thorin Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 You're a lucky man, Terry's has always been one of my favourites. I was kinda hoping he'd still have it and sell it to me this time next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike B Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Well done mate, a great car it is ! Thanks matey - I had been following your progress since yours was destroyed - gutting - but glad to see you are ok - it could have been a lot worse. Only after driving it home did I appreciate how good this one is. To build 15+psi at 2k in 6th on the motorway is some fete for a single. Makes it so comfortable as well as quick. I'm a very happy man:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kinda hoping he'd still have it and sell it to me this time next year Yeah, if you take a long hard look at making one of these yourself it's impossible in terms of know how for the average guy - not to mention parts and labour. I think it's going to be a long time before something else comes along to tempt me away - I've owned 3 sups now, and technically this is in a different league.

RedM Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I can't believe someone has bought this. There is no point in me winning the lottery now. Enjoy it. It's a cracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Awesome. I've spent much time going back to Terry's website (http://www.supravvti.com/) and admiring that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURT Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 congrats fella, nice motor you have there, spent many hours trying to decide to buy or not, still, too late now as my car is still for sale. still i'm sure its gone to a good home matey:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good home for sure - just have to take a lot more responsibility in ownership. - the loud button is now a hyperspace pedal - and the straight line traction on this thing must be 2x my old car. I still view it as Terry's car though, it still doesn't feel like mine yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
