Marco Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Well I've sold my supra, after 5.5 years of ownership Loads of ups and downs. I'll try to remember only the fun times I had with her and forget the endless vandalism and the cowboys who had their money grabbing claws on her... I've put on my sensible cap and bought an Avensis 2.0 CDX. It's a pretty good car tbh. 146bhp, leather seats, black metallic etc. Weighs 300kg less then the supra. Handling is not good, but fuel economy is. I might stick around on this forum, not that anyone would miss me if I was gone though... haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hi Marco, I have met you a few times at meets around the south area, sorry to see you have sold you’re supra do you think you will get another in the future. Hi Jeff, how are you? Not very likely I'll be getting another supra. I loved it to bits, it was the car of my dreams, but I got fed up with spending so much time and money keeping it in good nick and then some idiots ruin it in a few seconds. Can't count the amount of times someone keyed it, drove into it, opened their doors into the sides. But also some terrible experiences with garages. Can remember when the car had to go into an approved garage from ensign, it came out worse then it went in, and I had the privilege to pay my £350 excess + loads more to sort all they had broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 MMMF I cannot quite understand why people from the old school leave. OK fuel is a bit of a PITA but comeon we can hang on in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff R Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I’m doing good I have done a lot of work on the car since you saw it last full respray and a few mods body wise, I will be starting on the engine bay this month to get it how I want. It’s a shame that you had so many problems with vandals and things. Who knows in the future you might be in a position to get another… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 MAybe we can have an avensis meet? Mines done 160k and running sweet and everything still works too. Good choice. You probably have the later engine in that but i get about 45mpg from mine so you should see the same if not more. Injector cleaner helps loads too. Edit - its not a derv monster like i thought. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
