jevansio Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 However today, going in the opposite direction, I saw a respectable late 30's/early 40's chap driving an unmolested, exceptionally clean Nissan 300zx and I thought, nice... hope you're enjoying it. Had it been a battered looking example with a baseball cap wearing idiot behind the wheel I would have thought... dear o dear.... That is soooo true, it the person that makes something, not the car itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi second post.Im 45 years young and about to go for a Supra.Am I too old?Do I have to be 20 and wear a baseball cap? Howdy youngster... It's a good question (the teenies in the club won't think so, but I understand how you feel). Think I was 48 when I got my first one and I did have big reservations before going to my first club meet. Like you, I thought that they would be all bass, bling & baseball caps. But no (well not all anyway) , the mixture of members is really good, don't think there's many older than me now (53 now) but I've never once felt that age was a problem. Well I suppose it's a problem if you are only a twenty-something, pay mega insurance and have to worry about looking cool for the girls. The only thing I personally won't do is have a huge spoiler, graphics and a cabin full of add-on gauges and crap. Saying that, I must admit that I'm toying with getting rid of my Bomex'd, Veilsided car (see my garage) in favour of a tasteful nice black stocker (with more power) Go for it...

movistar Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 No you're not. Really, at 45 you aint cool. Having said that you're definitely not too old. As said if you keep it pretty stock and don't go for any outlandish styling it's fine. Btw I'm 41, I have a supra and I'm not cool. Just ask my 12 year old daughter. Its probably the fact that your a 41 year old driving an N/A and not a TT that makes you uncool to your 12 year old daughter;)...you know when your old is when you worry more about going to fast:) than just looking cool:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Age is just a state of mind, well until the body lets you down;) Anyway being three years off a bus pass, and owning a slightly mad looking single turbo Supra, some might call me immature, but whoever said there had to be limits on what you enjoy or makes you feel good;) Whether you like mad kitted cars, or the classic look, its up to you, if you like the Supra or any car etc just do what make you feel good, life's too short to worry about others opinions of you. Unless you drive an aerotop and wear a medallion:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefgroover Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I'm 44, and the right age to own a Supra, like most of the Uk's first owners. The responsibility for the chav element is down to greedy importers bringing in wideboy dogs and having no respect for the car, anything for a sale. What a wonderful car the Supra would be of there had never been imports, prices and respect would be way higher for the rare classic.

What a wonderful car the Supra would be of there had never been imports, prices and respect would be way higher for the rare classic. Whilst there are some very tastefully uprated/modified Supra's on this forum and around the world, as you say, its the likes of the stupid barn door spoiler, failside rubbish that affects the reputation of these cars in addition to the idiots who cannot genuinely afford to run them. Thus resulting in several cars in a poor state looking hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinboy Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Age shouldn't come into it. I mean, do you really care what other people think anyway? Have the car you want, do whatever you want with it, enjoy it. If people say it's too brash/loud/you are too old etc etc etc then f$%k em.

adnanshah247 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Of course not! Please don't tarnish the younger ones with the same brush though we aint all bad! I don't tend to see any people around my age driving supra's , its usually 25 onwards! the older lot are just jealous our cars look better and that we can drive them hard without our pacemakers going mad!!!

cobrastang Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 So is this guy getting one or not? Yeha I will most probably be getting one.Id say 85% supra and13% clk 55amg merc 2% something else the mercs are quite tempting because they are a bit newer than most supras and have 350 standard horses but I would prefer a nice supra...more road presence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
