New member here with an SVX (pics)

[Brian]

Hello, just introducing myself. My name is Brian and I'm from Columbus, Ohio. I'm a Super Moderator with www.columbusracing.com and am currently serving with the Army in Iraq. I've got a lot of time on my hands and have been digging around for "fun" car options when I get home next Summer, just thought I would join here and get some info on Supras. I've narrowed my options down to a WS6 Firebird, Supra TT, RX-7, or maybe a Corvette. Of those four I definitly favor the styling of the Supra inside and out, but along with the RX-7 they are older than the other options but like I said I've got nothing but time to find just the right one.

Well everybody likes pictures so here are some of me and my current car, a bone stock 1992 all wheel drive svx. It's in great condition and rides like a dream on a cloud. It's not fast at all but it still turns heads 14 years later. It drives kinda like a Buick with a cool body kit, heh..

[Brian]

Thanks. btw I'm noticing this isn't much of a u.s. forum.. whoops

[Rayman]

no its not but everyone is welcome, even tho we have never heard of a SVX , Supraforums is the US forum!

[Brian]

There were only 28,000 built worldwide over a 6-year span. 14,000 went to the usa, the other half went to the UK, Japan, and other parts of the world. Seeing one is just as rare as seeing a Ferrari (but not quite as cool) maybe if I put a Ferrari badge on it people would believe it, ha

Fair enough Brian.....no dig at you personally, I reacted at the comment about "good work". Welcome to the forum and hope you make it back safely.

I dont agree with the whole Iraq thing......really dont appreciate our governments putting innocents lives like yourselves in the face of danger. Why dont these stupid politicians send their own kids over, how come prince willian or harry dont fight behind enemy lines....All this over OIL....completely unacceptable in my books...sorry.

Well i say good work just in the members of the armed forces being there, what they are told to do by politicians etc is a totally different thing. Probably cant be classed as good work i know!

Imi please don't take offence but i'm the fella has heard all the views under the sun and has is own. But from what I can understand he has joined up because of his passion for Jap sports cars so would be good to keep it on Topic.

Hi dude. What's that growing out of the top of your head? Some kind of secret military weapon?

[SupraStar 3000]

Hi dude. What's that growing out of the top of your head? Some kind of secret military weapon?

It a new U.S weapon called "G.A.Y dar".
It detacts incoming enemy units and prioritises enemy soldiers dependant on sexual preference.
Theory being, G.A.Y enemys are less aggressive.

or

It could be a floodlight in the background.

Sorry Brian ;)

[Brian]

No you're right, it's a gaydar and it's pointing at the two guys in the left side of the picture. The rest is classified.
