I don't think his punctuation button is working.

 

Can the OP try a little harder with the grammar, please. And I don't mean the old lady that gives you sweets when you visit her. Thank you :)

 

Incidentally, when I'm out topless, the car always gets loads of attention. Which is nice.

 

Did you forget to wear your bag?:p

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously though i always though my Supra didn't get that much attention, my current Skyline gets more.

I used to get loads of looks in my old Supra from varying people of all ages. It had a fantastic road presence.

 

Now, I get even more looks and more positive comments since owning the 911 Turbo which I am very surprised by, as I was expecting to "blend in" a little more, I suppose its probably due to the "Supercar thing".

I really want to get back into Corrado ownership, in something like this: http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm203/j_s14a/3341ebce.jpg

:cool:

 

Years ago when i owned a Scirocco, i always wanted one badly, but back then the Corrado was new and cost loads in comparison so i never did get one, great looking cars.

My other want at the time was a Riger kit for the Scirocco:cool:

where I'm from everyone thinks its some kind of porsche, till they see the badge then their world is completely turned upside down! once parked next to a lambo, got more attention than the lambo :D I think because its rare and noisy (in most cases) it will def turn heads! also its not flashy like other sports cars (in most cases) so people will look cause you not some tool out for attention! (in most cases) and finally if someone knows what it is....instant :respekt:

The fact that kids still stop and stare at the car as I drive by or as they pass the house reminds me of how I felt when I first saw it (and similar cars). In that respect I still consider the car to be a head turner. Petrol heads usually respect the car for what it is and what its capable of. A lot of adults either don't know what it is or don't care and it doesn't bother me, everyone's entitled to their opinion (apart from the ignorant 'jap crap' twats who don't have a clue.

This is what I really miss about owning one :( I used to love the looks it got. I dont quite get same looks in the mondeo. I used to love it when ever I had a delivery at my house or someone call just purely because 100% of the time they would always ask about the supra. One guy refused to believe that it was 17 years old! I really miss supra ownership but to quote Arnold....I will be back.

I get mainly males aged between 3 and 20 looking at mine. No one else really pays any attention.

 

When I was on the Isle of Wight earlier in the year, I was parked on the car park of the caravan park and a little kid (probably about 5 or 6) walked past and said "Daddy, Daddy, look, a race car!" That was pretty cool :)

My corrado turned head due to the crew compressor super charger that sounded like this:

I regularly do the school run in mine....Overheard women remarking on how they love the way it growls (Raawwrr!) and my son and daughters mates saying how cool it is and how comes Harry gets to go home in that and I've got a Corsa??! They listen for me approaching now and form a line along the railings making awestruck ooohing noises...hahaha

 

 

I LOVE MY SUPRA!!!! can you tell?? :)

Not a fan of the lights, but otherwise it's lovely. It looks like Midnight blue, the same colour my VR6 was

And this was my first. It started out in Sherry red, but I had it resprayed in Citroen Wicked Red pearl

My friend bought it and it's been sat on his drive for 5 years!

 

 

I really want a Blackberry one now though, it's such a stunning colour.

Too bloody common! We had one park up next to me & Ellis & we both had a giggle from when you said the 911 Turbo is not as common & then 5 seconds later one drives by!! :D

Sounds like my cordless drill!

 

 

If you want to see heads turning then you should have come Dragonball, we have people taking pictures, stopping what they were doing, people coming out of resturants to have a look, cars driving past with everyone having their faces attached to the screen. They still get attention alright, the smooth curves have lasted time.

:D Yes that was rather amusing! However Its the only one I have seen since getting mine. Don't get me wrong 911's a relatively common compared to the likes of a supe but spotting a tuuby is hard work.

Depends where you live I guess. 911s are quite common here, and I see Turbos regularly. That may be due to having a specialist near York though :)

I get a few looks now and again. Usually from young chav type people as there seems to be an abundance around my area.

Yesterday i took a little trip to Tesco in town driving nice and easy as i normally do :) I heard someone shout out TWAT! (probably from one of the aforementioned chav types, but I didn't stop to check)

So it seems the Supra can attract negative and positive comments!
