staples230uk Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Was feeling a bit down about the current state of my supra. The heater is being random was only blowing cold air (I have a thread running about it lol). There are other small bits that need doing that I dont have the time for, and plus the fact I'm looking at getting it stored away during the spring as it wont be used due to me commuting a fair bit. PLus not being able to move it for the last few weeks as it has been snowed in. It was getting a bit glum in my opinion. Having a bit of a thaw over the last day I thought I'd take the supe out for a run to look at a 2nd car. The supra is minging, the dirtiest I've ever had it. But as soon as I was 30 seconds out of my drive the love was back and I wondered why I ever felt so down about it! Was out for about an hour or so and have never enjoyed such a humdrum journey in such an awesome car. Just thought I'd share the love! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may mean that for some meets I'll be in a focus/mondeo/passat etc. can't wait to get mine serviced this year. Might even get the engine out and have good nosey to see what's what.

Lude Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 hmm yea i know what you mean, when things need doing or money need spending on them it can get you down, soon as its in tip top shape and all clean though its amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 started mine up today , still not had it out for a run , probably tax it next month, the inside looked a bit dirty/ mouldy so gave it a good clean and job done came up a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretie22 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Its the lack of nice weather and all the salt on the road that gets me down, I can't stand not taking the Supe out. I find that spending some quality time washing and polishing on a dry day solves this problem for me, the love is restored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
