Benyon Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I had a nissan pulsar GtiR (340bhp) at 21 and learnt the hard way about respecting powerfull cars, I turned it on its roof at about 80mph I did not have a scratch on me luckily, it was on a big empty straight road at 12 oclock at night, Basically I put my foot down and it made powerslide into a curb But it was a good wake up call for me to slow down.

AndrewOW Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Mrs Drew wanted to buy it badly i remember Well she was on strong medication at the time, so even a milk float would've felt like a dragster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden1989 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 WHAT EVERRRRRR, im 18 and have a supra, ill be driving it this year:p WOW, seriously, i wish i was as lucky as you....... Way i see it is my car at the moment is worth more than yours, so i dont think im doing to badly for myself, i just thank god that it is reliable, could i really cope with having a car off the road when my Uni is 30 miles away? no infact it doesnt really bother me, if i want to drive a supra, i have robs, and that to me, is better than driving a NA auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 ZS1064 - mk 4 Supras on the whole tend to be very reliable cars compared to 'normal' and other performance cars.

Holden1989 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 its just general maintenance like stem seals, i dont have that sort of money to cough up at random, im a student, i dont work, and i have horses, i really really cant afford to get a supra aswell plus i would be bored to easily with a NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'm trying Kubuntu on my old computer. When i open an application such as Firefox or something i get a distorted window for a split second before going normal. any ideas why? It has the latest Nvidia drivers on. Not really an issue, would just prefer it not to do it. Not running it as a Virtual machine are you? I'm testing Kubuntu 8.10 on a virtual machine and that does what I believe you are on about too. A colleague is running 8.10 (not as a virtual machine) on an identical machine to mine though and no such issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 N/a cars are cheap, what do you expect. Not to run, no. They have components that wear out and need replacing just as much as on TT's, new suspension is as much for an N/A as a TT, new wheels, new tyres. Thats why a lot of newbies sell up within a few months of buying, they don't realise how much older models (although cheap to buy initially) cost to run. I don't think there are many 19 year olds on a good enough salary to pay for supra's, beer AND drugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
