Lbm Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) Go for it Kayla. It'll be fun.

AJI Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I've driven from Penrith to Passau (south germany) all within a 24 hour period....the Supra eats miles with ease. Next week I'm doing Penrith to Exeter. Perfect car for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ally T Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Where in Scotland are you planning to end up? I know a good garage if you need one, and they own a lovely Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Don't take Robs car until the injectors are changed, Ryan has mapped it and Rob has given it a good shake down run (a good hundreds miles on a single journey) It's been stood for too long to go right out and drive it to scotland. If it weren't for the issues in the past it'd be absolutely fine. I've done Newcastle and back again in a single turbo supra without issue (12 hours straight, not driven lightly either!)

martini Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Interesting thread I have driven from here to Bristol, stopping in total for about an hour, and come back doing the same the day after - about 1400 miles - and if you keep it at a staedy speed, any steady speed, but 95 leps suited fine, the consumption ain't bad at all I noticed this today. I came back from York and got to the M60 with minimal fuel loss, maybe doing close to 80 leps the whole way. Then I was stuck in M60 traffic for 45 minutes and burnt through twice the fuel, stop starting and maxing at 40 Still, door to door was 30 minutes quicker than the smelly train. As for the supra? It's a GT car - designed for this kind of thing. Do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 My TT is a perfect mix between the Volvo C70 (uber comfy) and the 996T. Combines the comfort of the Volvo with the near enough performance of the 996T...... The previous owner of my TT used to go on european trips in the Supra without issues. I only use mine for motorway journeys and its superb, very comfortable for such a sports car and effortless at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
