DARETT Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I wanted to get a new daily, so I decided to try an auto Supra. My white one was my first Supra so wasnt too sure what to expect at first. I decided to go with a GZ as it had all the extra creature comforts as standard. I found a 1993 with around 50k genuine miles. The owner had bought it from new and kept it mechanically completely stock! It was exactly what I wanted. So once price was agreed the shipping was arranged and I picked it up 8 weeks later from Southampton. The first thing that surprised me was how quiet it was!! My 2012 Passat was louder! Lol The drive was so refined and comfortable. The box was very impressive, shifting without realising and go kart like instant acceleration. It's so impressive that a car that's 19 years old still can compete and sometimes better modern comparisons. This was the 1st time I've been behind the wheel of a completely stock one and it's been so impressive I though I'd post up about it! Lol I suppose it may be luck that I found an excellent example but an Auto TT is a perfect bargain especially for the prices that some of them are going for at the moment. I'll get some pics once it dries up outside!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2jz Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Congratulations for the new car ! I have two newer cars as well (2004 and 2007) and the Supra drivers better then both. It's such an amazing car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARETT Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Lol Haven't been back home to get some fresh pics but here's some from the port Disappointing thing was that someone nicked the sub setup below from the docks!! All I was left with was a couple of wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Looking at the foam on those subs, I don't think it was much of a loss. Lovely car, perfect summer daily. I've never seen a bumper like that before, looks like a modified stock item? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARETT Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Lol That's ok then I'm not up to scratch when it comes to sounds so if they didn't seem expensive one's it's not much of a loss. Yes stock bumper with an aftermarket lip moulded on. Not a personal fan of filler bumpers but it looks nice and hopefully doesn't crack!!
