Abz Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Slap yourself in the face Raven in front of a mirror, if you have trouble getting a little kid and dog in the Supra then God help you! I have managed to get so many things in the Supra it is beyond unbelieveable. A little trip to IKEA ended up with me getting a 8 drawer cupboard & a book shelf with 8 compartments (6ft). Managed to get them all in, including myself and the missus (though we had to have the tailgate slightly open). Get the dog on the back seat bench and your son in the front. Sorted.

jackso11 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 How about spending a bit on the van. If it hasn't got a bulkhead you could fit some ex minibus seats in the back (dirt cheap if you know where to go). No idea what your business is or what size van you have but otherwise I would suggest you upgrade the van - Mercedes Vito vans (and others) can come like this as standard and are a great van I think (I have a Sprinter) and can be quite car-like. The advantage is this will go through the business to save a bit of Tax and you get to keep your toy. Would you really want the dog in your new EVO any more that you'd want him in the Supe? HTH If it has got a bulk head you can still fit seats in the back, it will be like a dark roller coaster. 6 people sitting in pitch black while you drive at the front. cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Seriously, as Abz said, if you can't fit a small child and a big dog in a Supra.. you aren't trying. I've moved house with my car. I've also had 4 adults in it at once. And I'm not even good at packing! Although, if you are going to replace the Supra, I vote also for Aristo - bigger, fatter, and yet still faster than your current car.

jim Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'd be interested to see how much it would go for given the history and the build, but not that much that I'd want to sell up. Mine's my daily driver, although admittedly the missus has her own car too. I've 2 kids (age 9 and 10) and a small dog and we all go out in the Supra at least once a week for 20 mile round trips, with the odd 50 mile trip too. It's a bit of a squeeze but it's not too bad, I'm a fairly big guy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the boot is full of ICE. The bench? Have you seen the dog? http://www.5stardog.com/gallery/picview.asp?img=images/Dogue%20de%20Bordeaux/8099034233178L.JPG&id=317 He should be between 100 and 130 lbs when grown. Dont get me wrong i got my son, his pram and bag (when he was little) and the roof in the boot before. Even posted up here showing pictures, just today was a pain. With the roof off it makes life a bit better as i dont bash my brains out trying to get my son in the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Yeah, what i was looking for for was a car i can have my family in that would allow me to risk the lives of all of us, by taking roundabouts really quick. M5 it is... In the real world im going to test drive a evo 6 next weekend, with any luck i will hate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I also have a work van. Sods law says its a transit. So i cant even get the boy and dog in there if needs be. If you can't get your nipper and 'bear' into a Transit, how will you shoehorn them into an Evo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I absolutely do not understand why supra guys are just not interested in aristo's??? You get the same performance in both handling and power, you get the same parts fit both cars so your stash of performance stuff goes straight on. It outperforms all the competition in its class ie M5's etc. They generally have lower miles than any of the competition, higher spec and aren't as volatile as the likes of evo's etc. A 600 bhp aristo could well be had for £4k Michels fully rebuilt single MK2 when for less than the engine was worth to a guy in Germany that had me slack jawed in amazement. I would understand it if the car was a minger but there are some class bodykits etc for the motor. In the states they'd kill for an aristo but make do with the N/A GS and pimp those right out.

They are brilliant cars, I personally don't perfer them as I don't require 4 doors but when I do then without a doubt I'll be taking a look at them.

scotty71 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 you are at the "have a family" stage of life, Supra's are not for you anymore.
