davis6110 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Had a funny moment yesterday when i was in halfords car park, was sitting there in the supra trying to figure out how my new air freshener worked when i had a knock on the window. I opened the door and it was an old lady, in her late 70's i would say, she said " i love your car ! " to which i replied " yeah its a toyota supra imported from japan " thinking she didnt really know what it was. Boy was i wrong, she went on to explain that she knew it was a toyota supra as she had a TT back in 1995 but she had to sell it as she was getting too old for it, she then said she now has a 500bhp imported MR2 that she keeps in her garage at home as she dont trust driving with all the other road users so she usually takes it out at night. she showed me pics of it, she had racing wheel, roll cage, racing seats THE LOT !. So the moral of the story is dont judge a book by its cover and your never too old for speed haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Lol maybe she's the oldest member on the mr2 owners club? That's nuts. She should come along to Suprapod and give it some proper beans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Maybe her grandson told her what to say and put her up to it to see what you'd do Pretty cool old lady though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Its wierd round my way, you often see old people driving round in pimped up saxo's etc Saw an elderly couple in a Focus ST the other day, sadly blue not orange. Have a feeling they went to the showroom to get a Focus and the salesman got them to buy the most expensive one. But they may be nutters, who knows?

Hammer Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Ha, ha cool old girl. Reminds me of a barn conversion I was doing years back and the olod lady who owned the land had an MG GT, one of the last off the line. One day she said she was taking it back to the dealers because something was wrong with it. She had been flat out in it on the M4 and a Cortina passed her, would have loved to see the service managers face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 There use to be an old couple who lived round the corner from me a few years ago, they were in the 70's easily and drove round in a red lamborghini on nice sunny days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
