letmeshowyou Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Right, car is all polished and the football doesnt start for a few hours, so here goes with a bit of Saturday morning boredom! How did you come across this forum? Did someone card you, a friend told you about it etc? Personally I typed 'what does the red button on the gearbox do' into google, and came up with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRalphMan Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Had my MKiii and dreamed of owning a MKiv. Did some looking around the web and found here in 02. Signed up and by the time I could afford a MKiv, you had to pay to join.. No I wonder where all the subs go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I found it through supraforums.com - back then none of the search engines seemed to like this forum, that's obviously changed now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I owned a MkIV for years before even thinking about clubs and forums. I had a very up-myself attitude to all that....I got all my 'info' from mags and the importer. Then I had my code 42 issue and posted a query on here after a quick google. It was weird, after that first post days seemed sunnier, strangers in the street started smiling and saying hello, my wife put out more, and little birds began to sit on my arms and shoulders and deer would come up and lie down before me. How could I possibly resist.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 My friend was a member and was trying to convince me to buy a Supra. Guess it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Im interested to see the answers on this as Mawbs has done shit loads to get the club up in the rankings on the search engines and it seems to have worked. I couldnt find a club like this when I got my mkiv so I started my own. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it worked Exactly like that too Arghjae took me for a spin and I was hooked. I came on here looking for a car, after being saved from a fleabay dog-of-a-supe by some very lovely members.

Branners Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Some arsehole called Branners. ooh, he didnt like the tiptronic much did he? Didnt he say (from memory) that he couldnt see the point and the normal auto was just as good Funny how things change. When my UK spec falls apart then Im going to get a late spec VVTi Tiptronic so in hidnsight I did quite like them. Still think swapping over the buttons makes sense though..
