TVR. No ifs, no buts. Since I intended on buying a Griffith 500 HC before I bought the Supra, I'd probably go back to the original choice.

 

Me too! Im so glad I didnt though :)

 

R33 was something I was considering when looking. I'm happy with the choice I made ;)

i would love a bright yellow fiat 126 bis with rwd and a supra tt engine and auto box with about 400bhp.

 

skylines are good if a little fragile. tvr`s sound great when they working. also them toyota corrola (ae86) they look smart fun cars and supposed to handle great

you get to a stage when you just want to be settled, i feel i am settled with the supra.

If there was no Supra (sad thought) I may have bought another Soarer. Failing that a Jaguar XKR or an Aston DB7.

 

My bigest problem was thinking of a car I like, most manufacturers just seem to be concentrating on mini vans for people with a million kids or stupid jeeps for people who don't even know what mud is.

Theres quite a few i like:

 

Skyline R33 GTR V-Spec

Escort Cosworth

Sierra Cosworth RS500

Nissan Pulsar GTI-R

 

I'd still like to own a few of these, but i think the Pulsar and RS500 i'll never own unfortunatley, would be like taking a step back from the Supra..... The Pulsar is on my list because it's small, and when i was in my mates one it blew me away at how quick a tuned up one actually is! Plus you feel quicker because it's so small and light. I'd love to have a drive in a Nova Turbo aswell, just for the fun it would give!

 

Still, the Supra is the car for me like.....unless anyone wants to swap a R33 GTR for it? lol :p

Now, lets see how many people know what an S1 is....

 

Was fairly sure I knew - but the power of the internet takes away the need to use up too much of the grey matter!

 

How much would one cost these days (If you managed to find one)?

well, there was the road going version - UR Quattro... some what detunded in comparison.. and some what cheaper too...

 

I think a fully preped S1 would be good fun... mmm.... 700bhp..

 

I think Its was top gear a few years back put a 1984 UR Quattro against the latest evo... and won....

Looked at S14 200SX... can't get past the styling. I also thought about a Lancia Stratos kitcar (my fav car of all time) but I saw some pics of the 'Best two Stratos replicas in the UK' and was horrified at the so-obviously-home-built interiors.

 

I think if I'd researched RX7s a bit more though I might have got one of them. I only seem to have noticed them since I got the Supra (and I still think they have one of the best rear ends on any car).

 

Skyline I just don't like the look of. I still think it looks like a bog standard coupe with a Halfords bodykit stuck on :eek:

 

NSX... I'm still intrigued by these, might be the next car (gawd knows where the money would come from though - how much do they go for now?), although I suspect I might end up getting a late model Supra again. Although obviously it won't be an aerotop though... :cry:

If the Supra wasn't invented I'd prob be rich by now.

 

Unless I bought one of the following

 

RX7

Nissan 350Z

Corvette C5 (almost bought one once)

 

Toyota Lancruiser Amazon 4.2D (just to go shopping in)

99 Range Rover (had a 93 once...poor build qaulity ball joints cost me 2k and other mechanical failures made me get rid of it. But wouldn't mind the newer one for a bit.

 

Landrover Defender (oh I miss Green Laning so much)

 

I done the BMW thing had a few, but was tempted by an M3 after being given a ride in DJ Ray Keiths (claim to fame lol) though he preffered my Supra. na would never buy a Beamer again unless I won a Z8 in a Competition.
