Slicknick Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hi there, been reading the forums for a few weeks now so thought I should say hello! After driving my dads 96 TT Auto I instantly fell in love with it , so after a year of saving I'm in the market for a VVTi Tiptronic model. I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Josh Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Welcome Glad you see you got the love. Only problem is you need to get pics of your Dad's car up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slicknick Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks, he has sold it now but had it for 10 years and it was completely stock, he only sold it because it had close to 200,000 miles on it, a testament to the reliability! I will try to dig some photos up asap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slicknick Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Yeah very interested in them, I'm not sure about white but the black one is stunning, should have my funds together in a few months, can't wait So bored of FWD now!

mplavery Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Welcome mate, core 200k, i bet it was still nothing wrong with her, best of luck finding your car mate, few good cheap ones on here too. what you looking for ?

KamaSupra Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Welcome buddy, you've come to the right place for Supras And the ones for sale on here are all pretty well looked after too. Black is definitely the best colour so find yourself a nice one (I'm not being buyest because my Supra is black) +1 on some pics of your dad's Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slicknick Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Cheers! Yeah amazing really, not a single engine fault, the only problem was the speedo stopped working which I suspect was a cheap converter from when it was imported. Really had my eye on the VVTi models because of the Tiptronic gearbox but I would settle for a nice TT Auto, looking to spend no more than 9k so lots of options :-) Living near Guildford, hope to get to some meets once i have the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slicknick Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Currently the only photo I can find until I get home, Our cars stuck in the snow last year, I managed to get mine out but the Supra was hopeless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had 3 different avatars in the last month But I'll be keeping this one for a while I guess. Snowed a little here yesterday but it's all cleared up now.

Yeah it snowed a decent amount this morning and driving was a nightmare. It's melting now and apparently it's going to rain later and get rid of it I'll drive it like a granny for a while, show it off looks-wise then find out how quick it is when it's completely dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Welcome Sicknick..!! I got my Tiptronic in September and love it to bits. I hardly ever use the steering buttons as it is great just cruising around and going like a rocket if you need to. Good luck with the search. I doubt the black one will be around for long. I even considered getting it myself..!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Welcome to the club..! \ A piece of advice, buy a supra that has a lot of the bits n pieces that you would like to have on the first place, you will save a small fortune that way. Another thing is that at first you will tell yourself that stock or BPU will be enough power but once you start studying builds you will have the bug and BPU will not be enough..! It happens to a lot of people including me..! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
