Blackie Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I have been feeling quite low about my car recently and spent most of my time wishing i brought a TT. I went out on a fantastic meet on saturday with the devon and Cornwall lot, Good day had by all. After we all met up we all had a drive down the very twisty road at speed to Bude. I was the fourth car in the row of 11-12, Two tt's up front and me and buster (both ours are N/as) and then the rest behind, Buster and i both managed to keep up with the TT's and we were all going at quite a rate. This small thing made me love my supra for what it is again and i have decided, Its not what you have but how you drive it and they both look the same to "The public" Just a little point for the newbies or the N/A haters P.s obviously they would leave us for dead on a motorway though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if there is loads of corners TT's generally dont have time to boost (I think?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTIN R Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Nothing wrong with NA's treat them well, will give you little in the way of problems and still turn heads:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
