Just interested to know what car everyone owned before they got hold of their dream car (soop).

 

I had an mr2 n/a and noticed a few on here who had mr2's previous.

It was a great car and thought i owed it to Toyota to buy another one of their cars after over 4 years of faultless fun drving and i have not been dissapointed in anyway.

 

mr2 --- supra seemed like a natural evolution. Next step a tt for me,

as i'm only 25.

 

Anything you miss about your old cars when compared to the supra??

 

I had a Peugeot 106 1.1 and was my very first car before my Supra n/a and now i have got rid of that and bought a TT which is only my third car i have ever owned!

All this and im only 21!...do i miss anything...Puh no way!! :D

Terrible behaviour, now get into the other area of the site and put up a "hello" post with some pictures!

A 205Gti with a massive spec

 

twin 45's webber carbs

Viper motorsports rally spec engine build - with stage 1 head and cam

Viper motorsports custom suspension setup using avo coilovers and custom setting

Viper motorsports race spec brakes

magnex custom straight through

17inch momo arrows

Full tune and prep by Viper

 

 

All in all a seriously seriously quick car which weighed about as much as a packet of crisps and handled like it was on rails. I still miss it at times, it was so fun and sounded great

Started out with a Daewoo Espero, big sofa on wheels really.

Then a mk1 Ford Focus. Indestructible, kinda fancy another as a run around.

Then a 350z. Was a good car, loved the looks but just found it sluggish really.

Then a VXR8. Do miss the R8 a little, mainly for the soundtrack and low down torque. Just wasn't very exciting to drive unfortunately, not a patch on the Supra in that regard. Would defo have another LS motor though, C6 vette if money is ok in a few years maybe.

S reg Honda civic coupe 1.6 SR, first car I seriously modified... What a waste of money lol

After blowing up the last one, another silver Honda civic coupe.. Which I sold stupidly to get...

An Astra coupe 2.0 turbo -_- facepalm at that!

Then I bought my first supra, silver NA, to date the best car iv owned!

Then it was my white celica 2.0 GT that I have currently, does the job! (And as above, bulletproof!)

First car on the road was a vauxhall cavalier 1.6

Second was vauxhall calibra turbo

Third was MK2 Golf GTi

Then was the Supra TT

Had a couple of other cars while owning the Supra like the 300Zx and the RX7 but the 300 has long gone and the RX7 isn't far behind it will never sell the Supra though
