supra_aero Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Not sure if its worth a mention but I will anyhow. ITs been a year since I had gone to a car meet and a sign of the times as things have CHANGED. Did anyone else notice : 1) hardly any cars with graphics, decals, shopping list - only v.subtle ones on them (I was actually looking forward to seeing some) 2) hardly any cars with gt wings (again, I was looking forward to seeing some to make a decision if they look good on supras as not really been to supra meets before) 3) hardly any cars with gold wheels (I know there were some, but most had split rim with a polished lip - so not really gold ) 4) no under car neons either - maybe one car, I can't remember Sure there were other things but I am too tired and lazy to mention. Point is, either everyone there was mature or times have changed and I am out of fashion expecting things from the late 90s - lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 on that note, its a good thing I didn't turn up with a car with all of the above - who knows what people would've thought of me - lol:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 So, all the members there were too poor to afford to modify their cars? Edited- - just to add, was properly annoyed to realise that I'd forgotten about the event until 7.30pm this evening. What a prat Hope all you folks had a good time and it wasn't as cold as last year!

There were some truly stunning cars there. Sure pics will show. Truly stunning. suprajames yours included - It was hard remembering which car went with what member. - we need to stick members forum names on license plates next time - be a lot easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl_S Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yeah was definately a very relaxed atmosphere, not buzzing like the last times I was there (for the japgirls organised Tunnel runs). Fun, nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I think I would've ticked those boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraGirlie Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Sure there were other things but I am too tired and lazy to mention. Point is, either everyone there was mature or times have changed and I am out of fashion expecting things from the late 90s - lol Yeah maybe it's like a reaction to it and everyone has done the opposite of graphics and neons etc and gone mega subtle like the reaction to the 80's with clothes lol Tbh I think it is mainly an age thing, as supra drivers are mostly that bit older, when I was 17 I put an under car neon kit on my first car, would never have them again though.

marc_p Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I had neons on my civic, never used them when somebody could see me though and I doubt I'll have them again. But as someone said earlier that maybe the new trend is subtle, I think thats a catagory that a supra could never fit into(in a good way) unlike something like a corsa/saxo sort of thing where the eurostyle subtle look is popular.

SupraJames Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Umm subtle, nah not my style, loud with lots of flashing light is what I like lol Have an underbody kit sitting here just not got round to fitting it, but seeing as its a demo car for an ICE and lighting comany I should really fit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah definatly it has changed not that long ago too, I have owned 3 saxo's and when I had my first, people liked bodykits and chrome wheels etc on the forum, by the time I had my 3rd Saxo, it was standard kit, standard wheels, just lowered and colour coded was acceptable without getting slated! Same on the corsa site, they hated my wide arch corsa which with metal flake and kandy paint lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
