SteveR Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Thanks one and all, I will be at many, many meets and *l-o-v-i-n-g* the car I have no doubt RobSheffield - I plan to nip in to Sheffield and show the car to my dad (assuming I pick it up from Jurgen in Newcastle) - if you live there now(?) maybe I'll give you a shout as I pass through?

SteveR Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 heheheheheheheheheheheheh...... everyone at work & all my mates are really pleased for me as they know how long I've wanted one for.... oh - and I've already asked 2 of my bosses if they're up for some track action (one has a new M3 and the other has some AMG - Mercs all seem to have the same name as each other (SLK? CLK? blah blah) and are grandad cars IMHO! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 Just checked the shipping co's website to check progress, see if it's slipped at all from it's ETA of Wednesday, and....... it's actually GAINED time and should be arriving in Newcastle TOMORROW! Should be collecting it from Jurgen at the end of the month, with a bit of luck. Watch out world... Steve is getting a Supra at last There are a couple of pics here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Your excitement is inspiring Steve. Keep it up, as its helping me through the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 The forum only portrays a tenth of my excitement! I honestly have wanted a mkiv Supra for somewhere between 8 and 10 years, they really are my dream cars, so to be getting one - especially a TT6 (OMG!!! ) in reportedly excellent nick and tiny miles - there simply aren't words to describe how I feel!!

Pete Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I'm sorry to put a dampner on it Steve, but there's just been a new official club report saying that: "Supras are in fact rubbish and we should all sell them immediately before anyone external to the club finds out". . . . . . . . . Yeah right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 It really does mean a lot to me, getting this car - I absolutely love Supras, I can't think of a single thing I don't like about them. In fact, one of the things that I thought about when I was paralysed in a scuba diving incident 2 years ago (too much to go into, but I didn't do anything wrong yet suffered massive spinal damage and I was told I'd never walk again) was that I would never get to drive a TT Wasn't having any of that.... so a proper miracle and 6 months later and I was 99% back to full health, and back to thinking about (amongst other things) getting a Supra I know I've said it before, but; da da da daa daaaaaaaaa, I'm lovin' it! I will never shut up about it when I get it (I already talk about Supras all the time anyway), l just told my boss not to expect me in till at least when I've run out of leave Oh, and I will be very careful, I'm not the sort of person who waits 10 years for a car then starts trying to wrap it round trees.... I hope! So pleased I found this forum too, it, and you guys on it, are the perfect accompaniment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Good stuff Steve. If i were you i'd get some mouth excersises going as your face is gonna hurt so bad from grinning so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon F Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 very few entirely standard cars remain available, so u will almost always have to accept some sort of modification Very true, she looks a totally stock car apart from the optional Toyota side skirts and spats. Being a stock fan, may I suggest the first thing you do is to fit UK brakes and stock 17'' wheels, the difference between that and a J-spec system are massive. Anything you change, keep hold of the original bits, the Supra may become a classic one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 The brakes, the stereo and maybe the front & side indicators for clear ones are the only things I'm likely to change (and I'll keep the original bits). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTIN R Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Who else is near Worcester then? Ian R, Lovatt, Supra RZ, Dave N, plus many more!!. We usually get a good turnout on the Midland meets. Ive probably forgotten others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
