TonyP Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 and Good advice there from your brother. Not doing your homework before buying a car can lead to all sorts of problems. *Sits back looking forward to another massively long welcome thread:d* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgoo Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Welcome to the club. Your brother was right, you should have a good read of all the guides on here and ask questions if you can't find the answers. It can save a lot of hassle/ money if you research what your buying. That way you won't get sold a TT that turns out to be an NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyP Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 It's quite a jump from a 206 to a TT at 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest amy-v17 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Please stop stalking me lol. But on a serious note I realise that its a big step up but Im so bored of my 206 now. I do drive my brother's evo sometimes so its not like Iv just been driving the 206 & I need a supra tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Stalker. Welcome to the club. What other cars have you driven? You might want to reconsider the Twin Turbo because jumping straight into a powerful RWD turbo car will catch you out very easily. The N/A sounds better suited.

Guest amy-v17 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I think my driving skills are being underestimated here.

Attero Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 That's why I'm asking about other cars you have driven. I know plenty of good women drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I think my driving skills are being underestimated here. Just because Im a woman doesnt mean Im going to get in it and stack it into the first hedge/car/fence/wall that I come across Welcome. I don't think sex is the issue here - people with massive amounts of experience lose it all the time in these bad boys. I'm sure you'll do some indepth research before you commit to one.

Attero Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Agreed with Charlotte. Driving a 4WD car will give you as much experience as driving a FWD when it comes to putting your feet in a RWD, especially with two turbos in the front. Supras are known for being twitchy at the rear end, and a simple slip-up will send the most experienced drivers into the ditch as you will find in quite a few threads on this forum. They all seem to be driving at fairly low speeds too. This is why an N/A is a good (or better shall I say) introduction to both RWD cars and Supras.

I'm sure you'll do some indepth research before you commit to one. Yeah I understand that I was just joking with that comment, Iv driven similar cars before and now I feel the need to own one, its not set in stone that Im going to get the tt yet but thats what Im looking at for now, getting an n/a isnt out of the question. One of the reasons I signed up on here was so that I can get the advice & experience of people that already own the cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Welcome to the club NAs are great cars, and apparently the auto box is one of the best and shouldn't be overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Why not look for an N/A, drive that for a while, and then use the cash you saved on the deal to stick in a big single turbo conversion. You can then sail past all these chaps trying to talk you out of buying a TT with 2 fingers in the air Oh, welcome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shima60 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Buy a TT and just drive it... as long as you don't plant your right foot everywhere then no problem ... Also traction control is your friend. Big RWD cars in the wet just want to kill you.. I pretty much never drive mine in the wet thats what the run around is for On a lighter note.
