Chris Bailey Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Don't feel the need to apologise to this creature Pete. You're a top bloke, you've put yourself out for us and your car is lovely. Your car is exactly what I was looking for. We have; - N/A 5 -N/A-T Aerotop -VVti Tip -UK TT Auto -Single 6 Speed That's a varied and vibrant display, showcasing almost every different way a supra can present itself. The cars are exactly what I was looking for, well cared for and used examples. The stand looks fantastic and I'm looking forward to the other members who came along chipping in. Lastly, feel free to post up some pics, both the underside and bodywork of your UK cars. I'd love to see how they compare to any of the cars we have. Wasnt a single turbo auto there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 What an almighty thunder cunt! Anyone got any pictures of his cars? I'm intrigued Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 My opinion of a showcar is something in better than new condition, attention to finish and panel fit, attention to detail etc. And the only way to get that and keep it that way is to trailer it everywhere and keep it in a bubble, then comes the question whats the point? Just my opinion Tim TB Developments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millar11 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I was at the show and I thought the cars looked great and a real plus for the club. So good work guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 There is a show car, but then there is taking your car to a show. i was just talking in general, i didn't get to see the classic car show but have worked on one of the cars attending. I just meant to me that a "showcar" is an over the top concourse item. Tim TB Developments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudder Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 We too visited the stand today and was impressed.... A great representation of the club, the cars and us the enthusiasts. Top job to you. The Supra was designed to be driven and enjoyed.... Not locked away! (Mind you, I took mine for an MOT on Friday and got bollocked by the garage as the car had only done 11 miles in 12 months. I must try harder!).

Sheefa Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 All of the cars on the stand were beautiful, detailed meticulously and are a true credit to the club, as are their owners. Do one you plank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion Tim TB Developments Agree and disagree with that. I agree that yeah a show car needs to be different and ideas thought should be one-offs. Wow the crowd not make them walk past. I disagree that a show car mainly gets trailered, I won basically every single show my last supra attended and that was 6years being unbeaten. I drove mine to all shows!!.. No one appreciates the dedication, the time cleaning and the up keep of a true show car... It's never ending... And here I am building another one bigger and better than the last. People drag race, people just drive and use, and some people love to show & shine!! I'm one of them people and I'm passionate about what I love and going outside the box. The cars on display in my opinion are some of the finest examples of a Toyota supra!! Big credit to the owners as they look mint and in concours condition.... Not show cars though and I mean that with the greatest respect. Lovely cars and how they can get slatted is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max5437 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The cars on the supra stand were in far to superior condition to a lot of the cars at the show and were a credit to the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C12MMO Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'm sure as a club we could all chip in and buy the OP this http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?328406-Private-plate-C9NNT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 There were lots of poor quality cars on display, it's a classic car show so you get everything from a concours E type to a rusty Marina The mkiv's looked pretty good to me, was good chatting to Josh and a brief chat with Ian, my apologies for not getting back to the stand but got forced out to the Metropole for dinner and drinks There weren't many cars in the whole show that you couldn't find fault with if you looked hard enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I almost went to the classic car show but didn't quite manage to get there in the end. I don't think the Supra Mk4 quite fits in that environment. Opposite the Imp stand it looks too modern by comparison and its Japanese which probably doesn't fit into the classic classics bracket. As for the condition of the cars it is always more interesting to talk with owners who have taken a car and brought it up to their standard whatever that happens to be and use it rather than parked in a garage protected from specs of dust. The best long chat I ever had with a classic car owner was someone with his series 2 Land Rover that his dad bought new and had been in the family for 50 years. Not a show car by any means but it had a family name, been pictured in many interesting settings and had a host of good stories. That's when you know a man and his machine are in perfect harmony and the machine gives the greatest joy to its owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Just viewed the pictures expecting there to be some dodgy supras, they look stunning!!! bloodeh mint! That red one though, is that yours Josh? paintwork is gleaming!!! I think the bloke was expecting some real ridiculously modified stuff like you get in these jap shows, different coloured bay to the rest of the car, big whale intakes, harsh dissonant colour schemes - all that palava. Its a classic car show for Petes sake, top job lads - showcased all of our love for supras, clean, tastefully modified/stock, great examples Edited November 17, 2015 by SupraP-Z (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Maybe it's just me, but I think some peeps overreacted a little bit here. When your car is on show, it's there to be judged. When my car was at Goodwood, Toyota told me other Supra owners/enthusiasts were commenting that my grill wasn't standard and where it the active spoiler (it just wasn't down at the time). It's just nitpicking and it comes a 'lil too natural for some. I don't doubt all the cars were stunning, but you'll never please some people.
