thebluefox Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hey chaps/chapettes, My names Tom, and I've signed up because I'm very tempted by a supra, and wanted to find out a little more about them I'm from Leicester, drive the thing below, 1.8 16v Clio mk1 (got to love the french reliability eh?) Other random crap...I'm 22, I co-run a web development agency, I help run clio16valver.co.uk (the best and biggest Clio mk1 owners club ), and I try and keep fit. So yeah, I'm guessing most of you skipped that shit, so my names Tom, and I'm looking at buying a Supra in '10 sometime Hi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathmonkey Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hi mate! Look around the ads for Supras for sale, hopefully they'll be one that takes your fancy when you're ready fro the plunge! What sort of Supra are you looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefox Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 I'd love a mkiv TT, but I'm not sure cash would stretch that far. I'm a relative noob when it comes to them though, so I'm not too up on the different variants there is. I'm open so standard/modified etc though, the clio didn't stay standard very long, and the supra wouldn't either, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hi Tom. Welcome. This fellow http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=188564 is a Supra enthusiast in your area. Suprastar3000 (Ed) has two and is going through a major project right now. So when you decide on the car, run it past a few of these chaps first. Have fun.

thebluefox Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Again, MASSIVE thanks for the warm welcome, made me feel at home Been looking around at some and getting an idea of whats about and how much they cost, and I'm going to get saving as looking at the ones on here has made me insanely jealous of you all. I love my valver to bits and its incredibly fun to drive (if not unreliable), but Supe's are just a different league. When I start looking at buying one I will definately run it past some experienced members first (and become a fully paid up member here too ) Thanks again.

SupraStar 3000 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Good luck. Bit of advice, dont dismiss automatic cars. They are surprising good and still have menu mode to play with. At todays prices, a TT Supra isn't a huge price hike up from the NA so if your into moding engine, best go with the TT. This is truly a fantastic place to gather info and generally hang out thanks to its knowledgeable and friendly community Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My missus family is moving from Chesterfield to Leicester, I believe we are getting married here: http://www.athenacb.co.uk/ SupraStar - menu mode? Or should I search, lol. I think Ed meant "manu" mode, in essence Manual Mode. He was maybe hungry & was thinking what is on the menu! Well I have to admit I have been pretty addicted since I have join this forum. I am sure you will love it! Loads of information on this forum apart from cars & a lot of talented people on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefox Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 I thought I'd say Hello again Basically I disappeared for a while as I was working hard trying to make money, but I thought fuck it, so I've got myself a new job earning a decent wage. Which means I'm not going to start looking at NA's I think, then eventually a TT. I've even joined as a proper member Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Plethora Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Just go and see your friends at ocean finance! Get a loan and get a TT now and you can start buying shiny bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefox Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Lol! Nah, I don't think I'd ever get in debt for a car, not unless I knew my job was very very safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
