jevansio Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Was on my way to Motoscope today to get the car mapped & pulled into get some petrol. Over the way were about 10 FTOs (obviously on a club meet run out). One of the guys came over & said 'would I like to join them for a run out over the moors way'. How nice was that!!! Never even seen them before yet they realised I obviosuly loved my Jap cars & were willing to welcome me in. I obviously had to decline to prior engagements, but he went onto tell me he loved my car, and asked if I could blip the throttle, I obliged , he was over the moon Gave them all a beep & a wave as I drove off. Just thought I would share this little gem of hospitality with you as it made my day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Its always nice when things like this happen, gives you hope that there are nice people out there in the general public despite the stuff you read in the papers... Had a similar experience a couple of weeks ago when I parked up at Brighton, a guy come up to me and was just genuinely interested by my car, made me very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_blackman Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Thats cool I had some lorry driver come have a chat with me about my Supe last night at the petrol station when filling up... he never knew they produced Supra's as late as 1998 mine being a S reg.

_Lynz_ Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 We had a similar experience on our way back from the Jap Final last year. We where with M5WTT, we called for some petrol and alongside the petrol station was a Pizza Hut. A little boy of about 8 had been sat having his tea and had seen us pull on, he'd insisted on his mum and dad bringing him over. He had a sit in Mike's car and was so giddy when they both revved them for him. His mum and dad couldn't thank us enough, it was a brilliant end to a brilliant day. First time I'd ever experienced anything like that, felt like royalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 FTO owners are evil. They made me play their drinking games at JAE06 and made me very unwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
