movistar Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I have been thinking this for a while now as i never use it and my daily run-a-round is welll...lets say skin and rice pudding comes to mind. I just think i could get a better daily car and have a cheaper toy, poss track car? Still have an Audi A3 that the missus uses but i would like an estate for the dog Ect... maybe something diesel? Still i suppose i could get an N/A Manual as a cheaper toy? Just wish i didnt love the TT so much[sAD][/sAD] your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Mine sits in the garage waiting for a dry sunny day. I must do about 2000 miles a year. The wife wants a new car for when the baby comes so I will keep her old one so the supe will get used less but I won't sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I don't use mine much either. It is a waste on paper, but when I drive it it reminds me of why I own it. If you love the TT and don't fancy a specific other car and can afford to keep it, then I'd say keep it. I've just looked in your garage on here: a very nice supra you have there! You could swap it for an NA, but I don't know what you'd gain from doing so, apart from a one-off payment of £3-4 ish when the swap occurs. They're no cheaper to insure, and not much cheaper to run, espcially if you don't do many miles (correct me if I'm wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think iam doing about 200 a year [/OOPS]..its getting the weather that makes it worth driving imho, maybe i need to be less anal about keeping it clean? I don't use mine much either.

Thanks for the comments Stevie, you could really eat your dinner off it:) I think your right too about the na thing...maybe i just need to have less holidays[OOPS] /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_oops.gif and save up for a better run-a-round.

The Raven Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I never get the whole, pack the car up for winter. I have used all mine all year round, (ok more than 2 inchs of snow will put me off) I dont think i could deal with using the work van all winter! I break mine out every weekend. I might not go far but i still get a kick out of taking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Didn't think I'd see a thread like this from you Adrian. Your TT looks great from your Garage pics, shame I never got to see it in Person. Keep it and bring it along to some meets You'll know why you'll keep it once you're there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam1 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 i have been thinking of doing the same for last year, think ive done less than a thousand miles in the last 18 months, my daily driver is very boring i have been thinking of getting a bit better daily driver and something different for the weekends/ sunny days maybe a two seater/convertible.

Abz Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Packing the Supra away? Last Tuesday when it was pouring it like tehir is no tomorrow I was poddling along the A13 towards Southend at 70MPH... maybe sometimes a little quicker. Drove over 100 miles in that day including playing football at Beckham Academy & then booting it a bit to get to Blackwall Tunnel before it closes at 9pm! Mine gets washed regularly & make sure it is cleaned underneath and your all good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm struggling to understand - why did you get a Supra if you couldn't afford to drive it as often as you wanted? They're not THAT thirsty, unless you're constantly flattening it (although, I would expect most Supra owners to drive that way ). I constantly have the itch to drive mine, even though it's 15000 km away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not that i cant afford to drive the supe, its more that i would rather keep it in its condition that it is in now.UK road are sh*t at the moment imho.

SilverSoop Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I will say one thing though, I do think owning an N/A is cheaper than owning a TT as having owned both, nothing ever really went wrong with my N/A (other than the Clutch needing replacement) but the TT had no end of problems and issues and was a newer model than my '94 N/A Manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run three other cars too:tongue: amongst other things...not being funny but it sound like you still live with your mum&dad:rlol: Not sure how you'd think I live with my Mum and Dad?!? Because I used to daily drive a big single turbo Supra? Or because I still own it outright despite being here and it being in Australia? But back to the issue at hand... I can completely understand taking a nice car off the road for winter - to avoid the ice (if you run summer tyres or semi-slicks) and salt and crappy weather - or just driving it on weekends. But owning a Supra and not driving it at all makes little sense to me, unless it was so modified that you could only drive in certain conditions. Perhaps if it doesn't make you super excited thinking about driving it, you really should sell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
