VBrrrrooooooooom I just bought a new car

Okay so its not entirely a Supra, but an FTO. But its oooh so close.

 

I've been looking for a while, had a few issues with my current insurers, Sky Insurance were understanding when I rang then a few weeks ago. So very happy there.

 

Whilst I would love a supra, financially it doesn't make sense, as I now find myself wanting a TT. So ultimately this is the car before my Supra. So the plan is to drive this for a while, and then in a few years time when my penalty points etc are gone, then a supra it will be. But until then........

 

Its in fab condition - ex mechanics wifes car, service history, no marks or scratches or anything on the paint work, even the stock alloys are in great condition, so I'm very chuffed.

 

Pick it up friday if I have sorted my insurance out by then

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Well done matey :) I saw your name on the FTO forums, guessed it was tha same person (they don't call me sherlock for nuffing ya know :ecstatic: )

 

I buy & sell a few imports & on my second mivec now, great little toys to use until they sell & it keeps the miles down on the supra.

 

Don't like red meself but this one is a little cracker (mivec TIP same as yours :D )

cool! looks like a nice car :D how long til you start modding it then :innocent:

 

Well me thinks, air filter first, then exhaust and cats out. Cosmetic wise, I've got my eyes on a nice set of Wolfrace 18s finished in black, and possible a veilside rear. That's just to start...................... :rolleyes:

Yeah that was me. I wasn't keen on the red one either until I saw one the other week, done up really nicely, looked wicked. Can't wait to get hold of it. Not as fast as a supra, but fun all the same :thumbs:

You will love it m8 :)

 

Handle like they're on rails, just enough power & the howl from 6000rpm upwards is pure music.

 

To be honest, when I wanted a car for myself to keep, it was a toss up between my N/A supe & a mivec, the supra only won because it's a better motorway cruiser & we rarely use our own car for local journeys. The other bonus with the FTO is fuel .... reckon I get 30mpg driving it reasonably hard, compared to 25 ish from the supra !

 

Have fun :)
