Course you can! The MR2 won't be there as I sold it last night. I bought the Supe on Friday yet aven't seen one Supra on the road since then. If you fancy a ride out somewhere then give us a shout fella.

Life before Supra. See left of pic. 'G' is being collected this evening to furnish her new owner with fun and enjoyment. Will miss the car for sure but Supras come first these days.

Glad you like my post. LOL. I might have my next meet next door to the 6th form college down the road.

I held my own private meet on the drive today. Attendance 1 (me) featuring my Supra and MR2 tubby. It was a thoroughly enjoyable meet talking to myself about being a petrol head and my devotion to Japanes sports cars, two great cars on display with plenty of photos being taken too. Hot tea and bacon sandwich provided provided by me. Next meet to be held tomorrow which I will be attending (alone). Pictures of my meet are below.

Well my tubby is 18 years old so the Supe feels like a brand new car to drive. Handling wise the Supe feels solid though I'm still getting used to it cos I only got her on Friday. And I'm still getting used to the auto box. Have to agree about the Supe being tail happy, had a bit of a twitch in the wet on Sunday that could have gone horribly wrong! I can defo chuck the 2 about on any road surface and I know what I can and can't get away with in her so it's a learning curve with the Supe for sure. All in all well pleased with the Supe. Glad I bought one.

Unless there is something really obvious you'll need a trained eye to inspect it. A body shop expert can spot things a normal person can't because they've got lasers instead of eyes. If you've paid good money to have it done they'll have done a good job I'm sure.

I only got the car on Friday so got to take it steady. I took my dad out (67) in the wet on Sunday and nearly sent him to an early grave when the car got a bit twitchy! I spun my MR2 in the wet when I first got that so am being ultra careful in the Supe till I feel at one with her. LOL to at the guys comment about the schoolgirl at 3 min into the video. How many of you watched it again to look for her? I didn't.

hey beneki. I got both! Well, mine is a tubby mr2 and an n/a Supra. I've not been on here long but I'm sure these guys will look after you in your search.

Call me ignorant but I don't know. I bought the car from a well crooked second hand car dealer that I've got a couple of issues to resolve but until then the car is going to my usual mechanic (ex toyota) to have it all checked out properly. I can let you know about the cats this week if you like. As for the colour. It's black but not black. Has a kind of ffleck in the paint, not full gunmetal but an off black if you know what I mean, plus bird crap and road gunk from this weekends drive outs.

She's an n/a import. The exhaust is a cobra stainless steel. I don't know the exact model of the exhaust but have to agree with you about the tone, it really does sound good without being too loud. You should see peoples heads turn from 200 yards away! Under high res the tone changes to a really sweet sound and I'd love to hear it from the roadside as well as from inside the car.

here's the cam I use if anyone is interested.
-
A bullet cam. 520 line TV camera like sports action and tv crews use. Sucker mounted to any surface inside or outside the car. Then fed to Sony Handycam with remote start/pause. I need to use a better editor than moviemaker but just don't understand Sony Vegas 6.

This is trial run video. I've got loads more shots I want to take but hope you like it so far. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EJMw6HGEMuM *contains sexually explicit video of a Supra*
-
I got to come on one of these meets with you. This looks awesome, really would feel part of something to drive like this.
-
The vid is ok I suppose, couple of clips that shouldn't be in there at all. Got some more footage today to make a better one. Have done 250 miles in her this weekend but the battery went on the bullet cam for the wheel shots. Will post a link up soon.

tSYymk_nHd4 why isn't this video showing up?
-
Thanks for the comments on the car and for the welcome. I'll be out this weekend using my onboard/external mount bullet cam to do some filming whilst it's nice and dry. The cam can be mounted to the outside of any body panel too which looks awesome when filming the wheels. Did this with my MR2 and can wait to see the nose of the Supe rising up under acceleration with the cam mounted on the bonnet looking into the cabin. I'll upload to the video section when done.

Chuffed to bits second UK owner of this import. 95, N/A, auto. The pic pretty much shows the rest. I'm not into modding the car, quite happy as she sits. Bought it to replace my turbo import MR2 and very impressed with the ride quality and of course extra power. Looking forward to some good fun on the forum and hopefully some meets in the sun.
