No Supra but will pop down for a look in s2k

aw shucks carlo ! I was only asking is all lol . hmmm my wedding sounds like a great idea to me haha

Is there room for an S2k at this

Congratulations to one truly mad bastard !!!

Postman here .

Hmmm could be very tempted at that if engine ever goes in my one Cheers mate Thanks mate ! Plans are wheels first once funds are available , then lower it , won't slam it though due to the speed bumps in my estate will decide at a later date about kit as its growing on me day by day . In the meantime just drive it and enjoy it Ya mate the R32's are generally wrecked over here , I wouldnt pay the tax on a GTR to be honest with you . A mate of mine is selling a mint 32 gtr but I couldn't justify the running costs to be honest . 9k ? Blimey , thats about 11000 euro lol , I must advertise in Uk when I come to sell this ! Yes , I often thought about it, I had not driven the Supra since November 2010 but a time comes when you get sick to your teeth driving a Nissan Primera thats touching 200k miles every day of the week . Been looking at cars for the last 6 months and despite the prohibitive tax I'm glad with what I bought It's great fun , much different to the Supra , I don't think anything will ever give me the same sense of satisfaction that the Supra did but it'll certainly do me for a while !

bloody awful ? no to be fair they're not that good lol !

@jason : they are a lot of fun alright , was out in it yesterday in heavy rain , certainly demands your attention when right foot is down

insurance is 750 on it fully comp . supercharged one would be wild at the moment I'm happy with it , I guess when I get a major thirst for an earlier power delivery I'll suss it out , must resist temptation lol.

cheers lads much appreciated

Your welcome , tough business to make it in , worked in car sales for bit myself with Toyota here . If you build a good reputation and have good stock and are reasonable with people there's no reason you can't make a success of it. Unfortunately a lot of car dealers have this smarmy image attached to them , distancing yourself from the stereotype can only help you in the long term .

Best of luck with the business venture , always seemed like a very helpful member on here .

Thanks folks @ abtin90 : Trust me mate I cannot believe either how expensive tax is . Since 2008 cars registered first in 2008 or later in the top emmissions bracket are 2258 a year to tax . Thank your lucky stars uk motor tax is so cheap . Plus you guys have far superior roads to us .

With the way things are a Supra was out of my league unfortunately as I was looking to get back into something interesting . The tax here in Ireland is less than half on a 2ltr @660 and a 3ltr @ 1390 so decided 2ltr was max engine size . I went to look at a few R32's , went through a stage then of wanting a dc2 , finally a lot of searching I settled on an S2K . This was the second one I viewed and bought it. It needs a slight bit of tidying and a few touches but happy enough over all.

Tommy I'd say it'd well fancy a few tit in a bun meals from hillbillies up the road lol .

Amazing effort, absolutely love all the little touches though . Makes it truly unique . Best of luck with rest of build mate.

I'm not sure about the UK but the car scene here is on it's knees , supra ownership is very small at the moment , lads with their cars on the road is minimal at best , a few years ago I must have known 30 plus owners , now I'd say about 3 things have regressed that much . The supra needs big pockets for big projects , hard to run them now never mind put in massive money for modifying

Insurance quote Carlo with Aviva on the mkiii Claire main moi named €410.55*Comprehensive €379.86*Comprehensive Value €298.45*Third Party Fire & Theft

With the wind blowing right and the car full of plutonium I reckon the Micra could take on the mighty delorean in a time travel race haha . You'll have to bring it to a show for the crack , park it in the Supra glovebox

Did you drive it off a a very steep cliff lol ?

Haha speaks "Micraboy" , I know your alter ego , driving around at night catching criminals in your datsun Micra with your cocky stride and musky odor You'll never be the darling of the datsun fathers who cluck their tongues , stroke their beards talk about 'whats to be done with this Jellybean?'

I had a look at a Skyline in Kilkenny Sunday with Alan , thing wasn't a dog , that would be a compliment lol . Looked well on the outside but drove like a bowl of jelly , bad pocket of rust inside front valance , interior very shoddy , had a bad tip at the front at some stage of it's life. Either way whatever I end up with we may get the Supra-Skyline meets going again , wonder would I qualify for a free datsun valet

Cheers Gareth , the market here seems to be fond of retro japanese cars lately , ae86's etc make massive money still here . It is a wonderfully clean example having seen it at the terenure car show that Jellybean posted it's pics from . I know it's only 210bhp but to be honest I don't have a need for something with massive horsepower just enough for a bit of kick every now and then . Looking at R32 GTST Skylines at the moment also , decisions decisions lol .

Looking to get back into a Supra but road tax here is too prohibitive to tax a mkiv at nearly 1400 a year . Has anybody here ever owned one of these ? Just looking for general advice before making more serious enquiries http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2466044 something like this I'd be looking to pick up. Mark

Where is the Ferrari 355 that is advertised as per thread title ?
