Sgtbash Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Reading between the lines you want to race around in a powerful car, like a complete tool with absolutely no experience in order to make yourself feel superior to the lower life forms (Chavs). Why do you have one then? I cant be for the ride comfort or reliability can it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave17 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Actually the reliability did play quite a big factor. I'm also quite confident i didn't buy it to race the chavs, the main difference between us is that i've been driving for 6 years and started off with a much more suitable first car until i could handle a Supe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just I dont want to be the typical teenager that has a beaten up hatch seen as Ive worked this hard. Am I in the wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, i know how you feel mate, i was the same, but the chances are you will crash it and then feel appauling that you did it in a car you really want. I know i did when i smashed my first car. Like mentioned earlier, something inbetween a Supra and a Corsa would be a good car to learn in, Celica or MR2 will save you lots on insurance and aren't exactly slow, plus they will give you a feel for rwd cars Edited December 17, 2009 by Dave17 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Fast tracked through school and started college 1 year early. I wasn't aware people could be 'fast tracked' through school. So is it a Foundation degree you have rather than the BA? Ive had my heart set on some sort of Supra for a while, I think it was when I watched 2 Fast 2 Furious with the orange Supra that I started to want one. You got many plans for modding it once you get it? A lot of people seem to be inspired by the F&F Supra... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Do yourself and the Bank of Mum and Dad a favour. Stick to the Corsa. As soon as you buy a Supe, your p3nis will shrink to compensate. [sHOCK][/sHOCK] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraturbochris Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 if i was you matey, i would either by one now as some of the guys have said and mod it to what you want, then insure it at 21 or just hang back for a while, save your money, look around find one you fall in love with.

mplavery Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Long story short, the cheapest was £23,360.07. Im sorry, but how can they justify a price like that when the car itself is only £4999? Im young (18) and passed my test and I can afford the car. But that is phenomanal. What am I supposed to do? I cant afford that no way in hell, but I want my supra Is that inc windscreen cover ? if it is i would take it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordielad87 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 If you ask me its stupid having a car like the supra at the age of 18, They make the insurance that high for a reason. So young people carn't go killing them selfs in a high powered RWD car..... If I had a supra at the age of 18 I dont think I would be talking to you now. Stick with the corsa for now mate.. [/QUOT I agree, Im just 22 but worked my way up to getting the supra. I started off with a fiat bravo (wrote it off) clio, pug 206, honda civic, celica, mitsubishi fto and now the supra. IMO you should off in something nippy and just work you way up or you may end up crashing it and being shit scared of it after that. Have you tryed BELL insurance? Thats who im through and so are some other young members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degree by 18 is impressive though and to be honest if you have dedication and brains for that by time your 18 then you may be one of the few 18 yr olds who would drive sensibly in a supra...or sensibly when required should I say.

Pig Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Very impressive to have done all that by such a young age. I would suggest trying to get prices with Elephant for a UK spec TT if your serious. Im sure they will give you a realistic price.

j1mb0b1 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Nooooooooooooooooooo please dont make me, everyone has them all doing 70mph in what seems to be 1st gear judging by the noise there making. I want a car(Supra) that will make all these silly chavs cry at its awesomeness, a car(Supra) that moves(In more way than one) me and gets me motivated. You have got the wrong attitude to start with, You dont buy a supra so you can show up the chavs!, And when one does pull up at side of you, Just rev it up at lights to tease them, Watch them wheel spin off like cocks, As you pull away slowly. I got my supra because my love for the car, I did get it for its speed but dont go crazy I carn't say I have never used the second turbo but dont drive like a cock, But at 18 I would have and I think 90% would also do the same. When you have the lads in the car showing off, next minute your sideways into a tree or lamp post!!. It takes a lot of skill and experience to drive a high power RWD car. Especially the supra has it does not have a good traction control system to help you out, So is very easy to spin out, I myself will admit even when I first got the car i ended up the wrong way one or two times, And that was not from driving like a tit. Just because it took a little time to get used to the power. My advise to you would be get Less powered car for now, Eg MR2 non turbo, Get used to the RWD hang on till you 20 and look at getting a N/A supra to start with cheaper to insure, then move on to your TT . Dont kill yourself or a supra or both!!! at the age of 18. Edited December 17, 2009 by j1mb0b1 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, the F & F supra first got me into the idea of supra's, even if it did lose to the skyline. After that I researched into them to a certain level, but im still a bit confused on some of the things that can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Can people stop assuming that this 18 year old is a cr@p driver and is going to crash his car. Leave him alone and stop being so patronizing, he already has a degree and so isnt some thick chav that wants to cover his car in fibre glass shite and drive around at 100mph round schools.

Sgtbash Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Im nearing my lost posts anyway guys, its been good talking to you all. I think I can deal with the idea of a Celica and jumping up to the Supra when im around the 21/22 mark after I rack up some no claims. Cheers fellas, I appreciate it.

Fair play My advice would be to get as many quotes as you can, Elephant and Bell are two that have been the best for me. Whenever you do get your Supra be careful with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I got my lad a supra when he turned 18, he respected it, kept it a few years and really enjoyed it not all 18yr olds are idiots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember this quote wasnt for a TT, it was for a SZ-R Aerotop it's probably because it's an aero, most insurance companies classify it as a convertible (ie easier to break in to!)

scotty71 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Remember this quote wasnt for a TT, it was for a SZ-R Aerotop DEADLY:d Anyway take advice from the guys here, Supra + 18 = Disaster. With you having only 1 years on the road experiance you are not ready for the power that a Supra would bring. Do it the way everyone else has done it at your age. Get a nice little hot hatch and get some driving experiance and build your no claims up. I always wanted a Cosworth from the age of 20 but I didnt get one till I was 30!! Supra TT's eat my 2wd Cossy for breakfast and Spit out the rest. Its all about building up your driving skills and NCB not just because you can afford it. Take it from Mr Ronaldo. Can afford the car and insurance but it is not all about that http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00703/SNN0901A_682_703104a.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
