  1. doh. took me a while 2
  2. truely i nearly binned my clio coming off the dual carrageway the other week. A sharp reminder although ive been driving for 5 years almost every day including long distances... at the end of the day even a corner youve taken a thousand times can catch you out. Thats why im scared of this supra already for some reason. im going to have to learn all the roads again. Or am i just being paranoid... something to interest you, check out the comments just lifted off coming arround a corner... and it was dry... and he wasnt even going that fast...
  3. Im getting my sup end of next week. its my second car. im 24. ive had 2 creashes in my life. both driving, never as a passenger. the worst was at about 20mph in a 1.2L front wheel drive car with about 80hp. and that scared the shit out of me. Sounds pathetic but its not something i want to experiance again. Like i say im getting my car end of next week. and its only a 5 speed manual. Its cold. Wet. Icy and dark most of the time ill be driving the car. I'll be bricking it for the next 5 months. p.s - I cant wait. Good luck. I hope you find what your after
  4. looks amazing. But i dont have my sup yet.And i dont think my n/a 5spd stock cuts the mustard

    Hi there

    Thankyou all. I gave sun insurance a call and they gave me a great quote. much lower than i expected. online i had been quoted in the region of 3 to 4k lol. Im not interested in turbo's for the moment. its faster than my clio. which is more than enough for me to handle

    Hi there

    im not looking to mod it i dont think, im a bit of a purist im afraid. and i dont have the time or the knowledge how to at the moment. all the other cars ive seen have mods already done i like how the car looks stock maybe some engine mods at a later date but nothing drastic. and i dont want to fork out any more on the insurance at the moment. the seller is local to me which is good. Ive found it hard to find manual cars for sale. let alone one i like. Thanks for the help info and warm welcome tho guys

    Hi there

    it seems technicaly sound. engine purred nicely. Its as mint as ive seen, the interior was spotless and the seats were all in good condition etc, could have been new . I haven't got to the haggle stage yet. Id like to secure a decent quote first. Im 24 but only 1 years ncb. And so far they have been quite high. I dont want an auto, i know there supposed to be good but i enjoy changing gear far too much Its a 5 speed and i dont know about the brakes.

    Hi there

    Hi i just signed up. I would like to admit to a few things. I dont have a supra yet... Although I did go to see one on sunday that I have my heart set on. I love it. Its a silver, 98 import, n/a, manual and totaly standard and perfect condition, i mean PERFECT, low miles compared to many ive seen (50k roughly). Its on for £7.5k. Which seems reasonable to me. What do you guys think? Id like an opinion. Ive been looking for something like it for a while and nothing has come close. Ive wanted to own a supra for a few years now. I always go "ooooh" and almost crash when one goes past. I think i bored the guy to death on sunday going on about how its a dream car for me. (probably much like im doing now) Secondly reading through the forums there are a lot of people here who know a great deal... On the other hand i don't. I can talk about cars. I love cars. I love driving. But i dont know much about technical mechanical stuff. So forgive me if i say something stupid! Now i just have to sort insurance thats less than the supid 4 grand that confused.com told me Ive taken a look at the insurers that the club has recomended. they sound good i'll give them a try.
