Anything happening with this at all?

Nice one, thanks for the great welcome. You all seem like a freindly bunch!

Well thats good to hear! I work at a garage which will take a bit of the cost off servicing etc, unless servicing is recomended at a jap garage? Still so much to learn!!

Yeah i'm not going to be doing loads of miles so less wear on the car, less money spent on fuel etc. Of course i would love a twin turbo but i can't really afford 7-10 grand right now. Or the huge bill if things go wrong. Plus i have no experience in 200+ bhp rwd cars, so a nice n/a will do fine for now. Yes i will mis the drive of the 205 but i think it will be worth it. Saw this today http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=212286 looks amazing, could well be one to have a look at.

I'm just down the road from Guildford in Godalming. i know a supra isn't going to be the cheapest car in the world to run but i would love to own one. I only drive 6 miles a day to work and back so its not going to run up any massive mileage. Paying the membership seemed like a good plan. Its well worth the tenner and the welcome has been great so far. As i have said previously, if i am going to buy a supra i want to find out as much as i can first, before i take the plunge.

Thats the plan! Will pay up tomorrow and try and get to a meet soon. Never been in a supra either so i need to try and wingle a passenger ride out of a couple of forum members i think.

Oh yes it is, loads of great info on here. My mistake with my first 205 was i bought it and then joined the forum (big mistake). This time if i do commit to buying a supra i will be fully aware of what to expect

Cheers for the welcome. I realise about the costs i just see the 205 turning into a bit of a money pit now so i think i need to quit while i'm ahead. Its going to be new engine and suspension soon and i am struggling to justify it. Thanks for the warning though, still looking into maintenance costs to get a better idea of things. Definatly not wanting to buy blindly.

Hi Kieran here, 22 from surrey. Just joined the forum as i am considering buying a supra as my next car. I'm driving a 1.6 205 GTI at the moment, great fun to drive but getting to the stage where things are going wrong and its going to cost more to fix than its worth. The plan is to possibly buy a nice N/A supra thats been well maintained (recent clutch, cam belt etc) and isn't going to cost a bomb to keep on the road (turbos). So thats me, i will try a search and try not to ask any stupid questions that you have all heard a million times, hopefully i will decide to buy a supra in time and meet some other owners soon.
