tony tt Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Well as some of you know I lost my job in July and still haven't got work. I was forced to sell my Supra and glad it went to a good home with Fosta. He seems to be keen to pamper the car more. Sadly just couldn't keep it and with a new little one it was the only choice to make. So at the moment I've a Shogun Sport to bimble around in and to be honest I quite like it. There's no pressure if it gets dented or scraped and I've no problem taking a hammer to it. Today I rattle canned the bumper black again as the paint was flaking haha I'd never have done that to the car. I'll be back in a Supra one day but for now it's diesel power for me. once I've money again I may do something silly like try drop an Evo engine into it. I think when I'm going the Supra route again I'll be after a ready built car so I can just drive and enjoy. Don't fancy waiting on it being built or sent away with any luck when the time comes the right car will come along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 There is something about that sort of look I have always liked, I even thought of buying a Frontera once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony tt Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 How is work going on mate? Still nothing bud. Major downturn within overhead lines up here just now. Nearly every company is going through a restructure or there's redundancies. Can't really go and work away from home either with the wee one so I just need to wait and see what turns up. All yeh redundancies from the oil industry hasn't helped as there's additional thousands looking for other work too. Something will turn up though it always does bud. - - - Updated - - - There is something about that sort of look I have always liked, I even thought of buying a Frontera once. I hope that Frontera thought didn't last long. I thought they were awful things mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Security had one to go between sites, i used it to move kit around. It had a gyroscope on it which was such a bad idea as i kept trying to get it into the red by hooning it around corners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 That looks wicked bad ass. Always wanted a truck like a Armarok or a big Toyota land cruiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 The Amarok is actually a really nice truck. Just needs bigger wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkmeyer Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Jurgen showed me the Weed Hilux Trucks in Japan! Awesome... For a fairly high price mind.. It's a heart over head purchase bringing one across though as no way that value would be recognised on the UK market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hopefully something will crop up soon Tony. Just 6 years ago, I was in the middle of an 8 month stint without work. I now own 25% of a thriving business and couldn't be happier to see the hard work pay off. Glad you want to go back to Supras. Not sure if I will ever go back but I will always have a soft spot for them. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Sorry to hear that Tony, I am sure something will come up soon, good luck in the job hunt I have to admit that life after the Supra isn't as exciting, I have gone with a BMW 645 for the practical weekend car and although it is nice it just doesn't have the charisma fun the Supra does.

So when are you returning to a supra Most likely 2/3 years time once my daughter can get into a booster seat, in the mean time I'll be trying a few different cars. Would be great if I could buy my old one back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, definitely, I was saying to my Mrs that I felt a bit silly for spending 'X' amount on the Supra out of our Savings...mine would have been up for sale if I'd lost my job! Hang in there though bud, you'll be in a Supra again soon! [emoji106] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
