mellonman Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Whats happening with all the big supra's this year everyone and there uncle is bloody breaking them or selling them i dont think i have seen so many for sale adds, i know the cars are old and the new menbers are not quite the same as the old breed most the time. But is the supra hay day been and gone really said times is it the people that founded the club have moved on to better cars and now as the gtr is in the realm of normal money people are going that way. i would really have to be introuble to sell mine even though its a dog and wiped out a couple of lamp posts, i really couldnt do it for the few grand its worth it returns it in a ear to ear smile when going sideways round corners and being pinned back in my seat when i press the loud button. so for those of you that are left Edited July 31, 2012 by mellonman (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) What you on about dude, you seen Jamsey's Do Luck, JamieP's Beast, Ibrar's Super Car Killer, Hodge's Show Stopper, Jay's Beast being built, Pedrosixfour's Track-Eating Monster, Rob's Gold Digger, MarcP's Drop Top Madness? Amongst a host of other amazing builds. Far from it dude, I had to rush to our data centre yesterday and cut through Canary Wharf, I stopped at the lights and this dude in a black Porsche 911 turbo gives me a thumbs up & all these tourists are taking photo's of the car. I then caught a glimpse of the car in a reflection of the buildings and had to admit, it was a damn pretty sight!! These cars still rock, last week I turned up at football training and the guys were joking his our new £30 million signing, rocking up like a professional footballer!

Oh, and Supras rule. Some of those who are breaking their built examples simply recognise the value in doing so rather than selling as a complete runner. Who is to say they won't be back with another project in a couple of months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo is already on the hunt again, Jamsey brought an amazing machine back, I am sure Ricky will be back again regardless what he says!! Oh, and bloody Rob is the new Keron!! Think he is breaking a big build Supra though which pooped itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubbyTwo Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I keep thinking about breaking mine and selling up and I have only had it for a few months. Then I fix whatever little niggle is annoying me and the through vanishes once out for a blast again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Yup im on the Hunt AGAIN..... The thing about mine was i had to sell for the better good, i had other things that had to be addressed so the car had to be sacrificed im afraid, didnt want to do it, but it has opened up a few new opportunities now. My company car is up for renewal next year, so i could potentially have a supra again as a company car. We'll see though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 to be fair mate the supra can be used for young kids as i have a little girl and she loves ripping about propper laughs her head off, so as of the child being in a normal child seat supra are feasable ISH, well i manage. maybe its all the name changing that i think loads of people have left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARETT Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 People fall out of love from time to time, but the grass isn't greener on the other side!! lol The Supra still ticks alot of boxes for what people want in a car, circumstances and plans change and I'm sure there will be as many new builds as there are car's being broken.

tooquicktostop Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 The fun for me is in the building of the car and getting it to look and perform as I want, once there I get bored, that's why I have owned 7 I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its sad seeing them being broken up but atleast the parts will go to other supras making them better.. lol.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I know of another soon to be broken famous car. The problem is that peeps are throwing a huge amount of cash at some of these cars. When they come to sell the car is more valuable in parts than anyone would ever pay for it, so not much choice really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 mines getting new turbo internals so with a tweek from ryan it'll hopefully push past 600bhp but it wont be ready for suprapod so looks like ill be driving a fiesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shh Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 it's not only supra's that are worth more as parts.... many of the big power r32,r33 GTR's have gone that way too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraGZaerotop Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 people move on yeah, as said above, peoples circumstances change. my missus is due in 4 weeks, baby girl. but i have no intention of getting rid, lucky i can keep the motor, in the garage safe and sound. i can see tho that kids are the main reason why people sell up.
