Gaz6002 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I had to go to Scotland today. It was wet and cold, but the highlight was just how many Supras I saw compared to down saaaaaf. Is this a thing? For balance, it wasn't just Supras or Scotland, but there seemed to be far more 'interesting' cars oop thar than down where I'm more familiar with. Any ideas? Also: trains. They make you think. Especially when there is free wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 We have our fair share. They are probably more interesting cars concentrated in certain areas though, hence why it appears that there are more in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasmt Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 There is quite a few around my area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I've seen a fair few around Edinburgh, and certainly a good concentration in the West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_ufo Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 cheaper insurance up north, especially in scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 The only times I see Supras is at meets :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 cheaper insurance up north, especially in scotland Well it would be rude if you lived in a crap part of Liverpool for example, and your years Supra insurance was more than the cost of buying a house... On that basis with Scotland being more northern, it must be a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westcoaster Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Interesting cars are more important to folks up my way mainly because there are less other things to distract you from spending money on your car! Property prices are usually lower, except for around Edinburgh, and well paid jobs give folks a useful way of showing off their creativity. Having said that, most modified cars up my way tend to be the usual WRX/Evo; 'fast' Vauxhalls and the usual VAG crap. A retired doctor locally has a nice collection of Aston Martins and Jags, I was chuffed when he saw my Supra and said 'Nice car!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formatzero Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Translation: They need fast cars able to eat up the miles in order to come down to civilisation in a respectable time frame I know what you mean.I went to civilisation once(or as we call it localy Glasgow)it was amazing.You have to queue for cash machines,resturants,petrol,shops,and they have lights up on poles to tell you when to drive and when to stop,it was all very alien, i was glad to get home:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I am told they are trialling a set of these so called "traffic lights" round here soon, it will just cause alarm and confusion. We are used to just winding the window down and hollerin' "Anyone there" at junctions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 90% probably were imported in England. The elite were probably built and are maintained in England as well. I've noticed the love for Supra's in England has decreased. People have moved on and seem to gush over the R34 and the GTR. I don't get it, but each to their own, I guess.
