I think you should pop up and see me Dunk, one last nice drive. I'll get some nice pics of the old girl before she departs.

I'll even get Helen to put the kettle on for you lol.

 

That's very tempting Paul :)

 

What ever you do DON'T TAKE IT OUT!! :D

 

I am telling you once you are out in it, enjoying the driving, all the people giving you admiring galances, not seeing another Supra on the road you will realise what a mistake you have done. When you get your new car and it will just become a run of the mill car, which blends in with everything else on the road!

 

;)

 

I know but its time to move on and doubt my Gallardo will blend in that much :D

 

hope you stay on the forum to give me advice about my car issues lol

 

I'll still be on here to help, annoy, take the pee etc etc :)

 

i said bye bye to mine once :( but then i bought another :D

 

I've done it before too also with a Black UK spec

 

I'm gutted that I won't see her again :( however I'm pleased that you have managed to sell her. What's next GTR or Gallardo? :)

 

:secret: :)

 

When do want these wheels ? my mother wants her garage back :)

Gallardo? Then you'll be fine!! ;)

 

Plus they set themselves on fire so if the sexy looks don't bring attention the flames surely win! :D

To be honest i don't know what i'm doing car wise, i was looking at

Q7's & RR sports and sell my Landcruiser as well as the supra.

 

I'd love something silly for a while but my old sensible head is winning

all the battles at the moment

I think sometimes it is good to maybe take a break, personally think you should get a RR Sports, you have done the reliable super car and reliable 4X4. If I brought the RR it would purely because the interior is a lovely place to be in and the smooth comfy ride and general looks of the car. :)

the thought of selling my baby makes me sick to the core,.people say its just a car but for me its never just a car,

'the mystical man-machine bond :carwash:'

taking into account the quality of your car it must be gutting for you mate

she deserves a good send of, the full wknd of driving to seal the last huuuurraaa with her....

 

as mentioned keep on the forum you input has been more than helpful for more than a few people on here

Glad you got someone to buy the supra from you bud, hopefully it's going to someone who looks after it well. Never met you before but some of the info you pass out is good stuff! Remember last year when you sent me some messages on a lot of info when I was buying my supra and it all gave me the knowledge of what to look out for :thumbs: Thanks for all the times you give me answers to anything I threw at you :D always there to help .... Shaz

 

 

What's you getting next?!?

Shame to see it leaving the country mate, but glad it has sold for you. I'd be taking it out for a spin!;)

 

This. Drive it like you've sold it Dunk.

 

I keep thinking about letting ours go but there nothing I could replace it with that is less than £30K.

Hope all goes well with the sale Dunk, good luck and looking forward to seeing what you get to replace her :)

 

Thanks Tom

 

Let me know mate, your more than welcome as always.

I'm out on my bike till about dinner time tomorrow but nothing on after that.

 

Tempting mate, very tempting :)

Congratulations on the potential sale! Whoever is coming to see it would be silly to pass it up - beautiful example. :)

 

I hope you manage to find something you cherish as much as a replacement! I know I'd struggle - like H says especially - to do so at less than £30k or thereabouts!

I doubt anything i get will come close to be honest.

 

I should be back for about 12.30 as long as the mountain doesn't kill me;). If you feel like it tomorrow give me a call buddy.

 

Afraid the cars trapped in the garage by my mates recovery wagon and he's gone

out for the day so looks like i'll have to pass mate, enjoy the mountain :)

The cars just been valeted and i've gone round all the fluid levels, tyre

pressures and checked all the lights, swtches etc are are working.

 

In twelve years i've never had to replace a bulb on it but tonight

it blew a main beam bulb !!!

 

Took it out for its last run today and made sure the second turbo was

coming online when it should :)

 

Spoke to the buyer and its looking like he could be over on Thursday or Friday

this week.

Sad to see it go dunk, it is a true beauty of a car and I've had the pleasure of seeing it in the flesh! :)

 

Cheers mate, as the day gets nearer its becoming more real that it'll soon

be gone.

 

Surprised how many enquiries i got on P/H but nearly all

from Europe, just had a guy from Rome email me.

It's the end of an era for me too :)

 

I signed up on the 'other' forum over 8 years ago, and straight away yours was one of my favourite cars.

 

Cheers mate that's nice of you to say that and glad others liked it

as well as me.

 

One thing i wish i'd done is to have taken it across Europe

and got down a few of the mountain pass's, oh well
