edge Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Had a few beers but wanted to go out so i let a mate take me out in the supe. He drives it very well (owns a bpu uk auto) and takes good care of her but gives it rice when needed. Its a nice feeling going out as a passenger with someone you trust driving her and giving it a good old trashing and still feel comfortable. Not many people i would let drive my supra so feel privileged So who do you let drive yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I let my 2 best mates drive it with me in it, not let my dad or brother try it yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 The only person I let drive my car (after the T67 install) was Class One. It was scary how fast it seemed from the passenger seat, but he's a far better driver than me so was never worried about the ability side of things... I'd never let any of my mates outside the club drive even a TT supra though! It's strange really as I've driven over well over 40 members Supra's and none have ever seemed (too) nervous about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much of a rush to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Today I was a passenger in my previous T67. After a break from Supra's all I can say is My God it's fast Thankfully the owner is of the non-loon type so only booted it on the straights, but that was enough for me to laugh like a little kid when it was on boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galliano Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 going from the first post - im only 15, and yes i have my own car, not a supra but a toyota atleast, i knew who owned it before, and i had been in touch with him for about a year before i bougtht it, i know the problems its got. my neighbour, being a mechanic showed me how to fit a new cam cover and replace the seals, i asked if he could give it a quick spin up the road as it would be sorn from the next day onwards, so he gave it some almighty beans up the road, i was shitting it cos i know its brake discs and pads have seen better days and are fit for the bin :S only other person to drive it while i have owned it is my mum ,and that was reversing off the drive, turning around and reversing it back on next step, ME behind the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvteye Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I've let my mates have a go but I was a little stressed whenever they powered it. It's a weird one as I wasn't concerned for my saftey, just the cars! Jody also drives it when it's in interpro for it's hols and I am very doubtful if he adopts the Miss Daisy approach.
