all the guys on the scoobynet forum are shouting at me to keep the scoob..they kinda bias tho i guess

 

Probably because they don't want to get beat .. when you race them.:woot:

 

PM Terry S .. he has a mint black Supra for sale - with 37k miles on it. A real bargain at £9k

 

Alex's car has a T61 single on it .. for sale @ £15.5k (i think .. don't quote me!). PM him.

course it`s ok,

 

it`s just high octane is not available down your way at the pumps...... right?

no all we get is poxy 95ron, because im only running on the wknd i can afford to buy this stuff, if it was a daily driver id just use smelly octane booster, whats the craic on your supra man?

Don't discount the Auto box. Many people who haven't even driven a Supra .. tend to avoid the Autos (no idea why ?!)

 

I guess people have a misconception that the Auto is slower ... Unless you're a fantastic driver who doesn't care how many clutch's and getrag 6speed boxes you go through ... on fast gearchanges ... the Auto will always be able to upshift faster than any human driver.

 

You need to drive both.

 

Terry's 96 facelift with 37k miles is bargain price.

ah come one now you wont get out out 2nd in carlow :nyah: but saying that you could get from one side of tullow to the other just coasting in neutral:D

haha, yeah well thats pretty much correct, when u gonna come over and go for a spin anyway?? ;)

im not completely discounting the auto, but i only like autos in big cruisers like mercs etc, love sports cars with manual ya know? and im not saying the auto isnt as fast, just am more of a manual man (i think)

id have to get a spin from both, terrys one is lovely, dangerous brians one looks the job as well
