Tom Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 but I think most of the public or top gear watching public think we drive hyundai coupes or something your probably right it's funny really as even petrol heads that may drive bmw's, high powered audi's,tvr's,911's etc probably have no idea what this car is capable of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 I thought it was a greater London/essex/home counties thing where this 'mass' of Supras seems to be appearing ?? I think the majority are around Essex/Kent/Greater London On a closer look yes you are right, Its still getting silly where ever they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 IMO you are wrong. Only what I class as 'petrolheads' give Supras the nod over evos and scoobs I don't know about that, I get loads of comments about my Supra and they cant all be petrol heads. I mean lets face it, an Evo or Impreza in essentially a family saloon with a nice engine and some plastic bits stuck on it. I think a lot of people have respect for the Supra, including under 25's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sprx Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 So everyone under 25 with a supra is a chav? Sounds like someone is jealous of their youth times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraspeed Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I get most of my "nice car" comments from average people with normal cars and usually from middle aged people who just like something a bit different from the norm. I got my single supra year half ago when i was 21 and if its one thing i learnt is you can't go thrashing it like your first car. i had an integra type r before the supe and still the difference on power is such a leap. i think its when people go from saxo's to supras in the mind set of a "just quicker acceleration" and then crash it and wonder why.

I think the majority are around Essex/Kent/Greater London Eastbourne FTW. I'm very confident of that too Lots of imports mean lots of cheap spare parts once they slip off the road due it being slightly icy/diesely/wet etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I hope this doesn't get into another n/a versus TT thread, as they can get a little boring. Well, after a little finger poking fun, that is , but as Blackie originally said, it just goes to show how cheap they are getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
