Whitelightning Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Oh yes, over my dead body ! I would rather sell my grandma (or your grandma). So all you people who are selling your lurvers (Supras) listen in. 1. Put the car into storage and stop paying the bills. 2. Get a small car and do the pretend driving thing for as long as you like. 3. When you eventually decide you have enough money again, open the storage and carry on where you left off. Trust me - I DIDNT do this before and I regretted it. Sure you MAY find another nice Supra but don't count on it in 2 year or 3 years time. As a hobby you can take it off the road and mod it without the fear of needing it to run the next day aswell Right, rant over . . . carry on about your business !

RobSheffield Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 lol, my own thoughts entirely!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 true true. I've just got a Renault 5, and now am not as concerned about keeping the Supe running or having to buy all this stuff for it! I'm still gonna get my clutch done and may still have to sell but that's because I'm stupid and am in lots of debt!! Otherwise there'd be no chance! I'd rather thave the supe than a nice house!!

GeordieSteve Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I've just done the EXACT same thing! Couldn't bare to sell it so it'd garaged for best part of a year. 4mpg was getting too much!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 4mpg??? I wont be going hybrid if my tubbies go then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I am using my missus BMW 325 to comute to work at the moment. I can get 380 miles to 45 quids worth of petrol, as opposed to 320miles for 55 quid on the supra... but its just not as much fun smoking the morning commuters, however with the roof down, its nice and relaxing and strees free....

how_supra Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Spot on. I changed my lovely car [ahem coupe] for a crapy old polo because I couldn't technically afford to keep it. Big mistake, had the polo for 6 weeks before I sold it [at a massive loss as well] because I didn't want to sell my car in the first place.

Alex Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 S**t happens...and it's happening now. She needs to go sooner rather than later...and AFAICS this will be the last supra I sell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I'm shocked too at the number of people selling up. Just one of those times I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightning Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 ok, 4mpg ? I only go down to 8mpg when Im doing over 170mph. What are you doing - drinking it yourself ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 What are you doing - drinking it yourself ? pmsl and this is just around the doors! If the car wasn't started every day the plugs would need cleaned it was so bad. Hopefully the big single will sort this out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
