hadyn Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Driving home tonight I was turning left onto a junction when a merc CL500 rolls past me with the driver nodding approvingly at my car! When i pull out he extends his arm out of the window and gives me a thumbs up too!Once upon the next set of lights, he lowers his window and tells me that my supra is a 'niiiiice car', he'd always wanted one and that 'they dont make em like that anymore' To which I thanked him. He was also suitably impressed when I said I only paid 8.5k for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Yeah... good for you m8 I saw a GT2 the other day, i thought my luck was in and I'd see how they went.. but the guy just went right around the roundabout, I was so dissapointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 couldnt really believe it lads as this never used to happen in my old datsun, and i dont think you'd get the same reaction from 'posh' car owners if you were in another jap performance car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 The Supra deffo has road presence that you cant ignore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 i was looking at it the other day and thinking what a mind blowingly good looking car it is even today. Each day I own it the more i love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Those rear lights alone demand respect Don't tell me that the ford designers weren't looking at the back of a MKIV when they designed the puma's arse end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 It was good being a passenger for a while at some of these meets, thats one of the best things about club meets, spend a bit of time seeing what your car (well others just like it) actually looks like on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 im only really used to getting attention from chavs in the datsun, but just before this guy gave me the thumbs up, a biker in the shell station also told me what an awesome car it was!!

Terminator Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Its good to get the respect of a quality car owner.. When you hardly ever see a MKIV on the open road, you forget what your car looks like on the road. Its great to get in a convoy on the way to a meet so you can see what other see when they see your car. The MKIV has and will always have awesome road presence equalled by few other road cars.

Definitely, it is good seeing other Supe's on the road, you tend to forget how much of a good looking car it actually is....... Id love to be driving an ordinary car and see my car pass me at WOT, just to see what it looks and sounds like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annan Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Gotta to say Don't know about you guys but when I come out of the shops and see the supe parked (in an empty corner of the carpark) she takes my breath away like no other car. A porsche just doesn't come close looks wise! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
