SupraRider Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hey bud, Welcome to the club! I'm sure you'll get all the help you need around here. There are quite a few supra owners in grampian. We haven't really met up since the last NEMS 09 show. We could possibly do with one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Greenauto (Dave) on the forum was thinking about selling and he is local and has a stunning NA so you should probably give him a pm to see if he is selling or not. He is moving down south or probably moved by now but was thinking about leaving the car locally. The white one looks pretty good but you need some engine bay shots as well. If you want someone else to have a look over it with you give me a shout and if I am free then I would gladly come along. There is a good crowd locally with Supras so plenty of help if you need it.

Guest taitum Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Do you fancy a n/a aerotop in red matey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi, If Keith (Kslb) isnt available to help look at a car then feel free to PM me also, if im onshore im more than happy to have a look. As will Marc (MarcAB10) and James (Hateevent). If you want to have a general natter with us we go out for a generic drive every so often too. May be easier to entise the truth out of a seller if 2 more supra's turn up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenauto Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hey There, Welcome to the club mate, you won't find a better bunch to help find the right car for you. However I may have exactly what your looking for. I am as Keith mentioned still looking to sell (only to move to a single sometime soon) my pride and joy. I had a look at your Passat on Pistonheads and I'd be interested in either a straight swap if you're keen just to buy. She's not exactly what you're looking for being an Auto, but if you're looking towards an NA-TT conversion it's not much of an addition to change to manual at the same time. Details: N reg - personal plate N/A - Auto Factory Green 111,000 km = 69K miles MOT'd today, Taxed till 'Sep Fairly clean car with only a few dings (got to be honest as she isn't totally pristine) Bodywork is completely standard Full jap style exhaust - full decat but cat will be there as part of sale 18" alloys (little bit scuffed but would look good as new with a re-furb) Ohh... she's got the bigger Turbo brakes on her, callipres have all been painted too so look brand new Leather seats Bluetooth Sony headunit + upgraded Fusion speakers + nice custom sub and amp set up (ask the other Aberdeen members) For pics please see my garage. See what you think and send me a pm if you're interested. I'm offshore till Saturday but will be available after that. Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenauto Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Aw Liam mate, that brings a tear! If drift buys mine and you give me a little while to gather some more money for a single, you're all welcome to do a cruise down to Cornwall and stay for a couple nights. Scottish Gumball stylie??? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
