jevansio Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I drove to work and back in mine in 1st gear one day & it was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Are you serious? What exactly do you mean? A Supra can be driven beautifully, and paraded around like a formula 1 driver's plaything. A Supra can be raced, and keep up with the best. A Supra can be thrashed and take on almost anything on the road but a Supra that has been neglected will spit out it's dummy and cry "fuck you!" whilst dying in a cloud of blue smoke. Same for most cars really, just use your head and you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoFuture Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 lets put it this way, a NA is like 4 HP and some cars do 1000 hp, so a NA or a TT wont break the car, but depends if you love your car really dont it i didnt buy mine to thrash, i bought it cause its a beautifull car, and a joy to drive, yes im going to TT it and probably big single, but.... still my reason to buy it was the love for the car, if i can make it more racey i will.... its like a hot woman, meets all your criteria, perfect in bed, gorgouse (sp! im dislexic) do you want to go from A to B in 6 seconds or enjoy the ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoFuture Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 well.. i bought mine back after getting better, i was working cause it was pretty much the only thing i could do so gathered some savings, my wife said "if you buy a 7 seater, you can have your supra back and do what you want", i had a s-type jag at the time, so i bought the supra back and swapped the jag and £500 for a chrysler grand voyager which is fsking HUGE, so i get me play car and my day to day car hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
