TheTurtleshead Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well it's more like 2Jz sense. Just sitting in my hotel room. Hear what I know with absolute certainty is a supra driving up to and waiting at the lights outside. Poke my head out the window… Yup! There's an immaculate white stock-stock bodied Supra at the lights. It is apparently rude-boy night in preston as well, so it's not like I haven't heard my fair share of shite-sounding exhausts tonight! I was sitting having a maccy's with Lee about 6 months ago and we both looked up at the same time when we heard a Supra approaching… Turned out to be a soarer but we were pretty close. Anyone else get this? I find it quite amusing and tres sad at the same time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross C Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Had this when I was in a restaurant in Glasgow. Stopped the parents mid-conversation with a "ssssush i think i hear a supra" and sure enough a few seconds later one passed by the window!! My dad just looked at me and shook his head laughing.

buster Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) After I crashed mine in 08 and before I bought my new one wile Brendan and others used to pick me up on the way to japfest and I could always tell when they were a mile away that they were close the straight six rumble over the Devon hills at 6:30 am is a beautiful noise indeed Edited February 1, 2013 by buster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yep. Heard Robski approaching and knew it was a Supra before I saw it. Said to the misses 'sounds like a supra' she said 'how do you know?' And low and behold, there goes Robski First time he'd been spotted too My daughter can also tell my supra from the Subaru and chavved up hatchbacks etc round my way. And my mums dog goes nuts when she hears my car. Any other car, she ignores, but mine......she's straight to the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigIanD Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I had mine parked outside the house one day. Went on Facebook that evening and a random girl i had never met (friends with my girlfriends sister I think) had taken a couple of pictures and tagged herself in them, with the comment 'dream car' Makes you feel all warm inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends are left stunned each time I hear the faintest rumble and say "£10 it's an Impreza" Never got £10, though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L18msy Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I can hear SPG and Ross C a mile away when they come down to the house to get stuff done, just as well i have the sixth sense as it gives me time to close the curtains and hide in the cupboard and pretend i'm not in!

Twisted Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 My friend knows when it's me driving past her house in my supra. I always get a text "you're back?" She says it has a very distinctive sound. Once when I was in Bridgwater and I heard a low but loud growl echoing and sure enough a lovely black supra purred past a couple seconds later. It seemed quite dramatic, it seemed to almost demand that people pay attention to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikedjack Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Engines like the 2jzgte, rb26, sr20 and 13b all have their own tones Hear a 2jz or an RB a mile off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
