Supratoc1990 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 myself and a mate were talking yesterday and we were discussing how many people we have let drive our Toyota Supra'S and it just rose the question so how many (including family members) my mate said 3. I have let 5 including a Gardai (police) (just for a spin he liked the car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamaSupra Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I owned my first Supra for 7 years and I let nobody drive my car, I've owned my current one for 2 years and again.... I haven't let anyone have a go at driving it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Only one, my mate at the first few track day I went to. And he refuses to drive it anymore too since the engine swap. He said if he can't afford to fix it then he shouldn't be driving it! The driver's seat is fixed, so that certainly rules out all hopefuls under 6' anyway! Edit: I did let one other person behind the wheel actually, a seasoned racing driver who's probably been around Mondello more times than most so I wanted his opinion on how the car was performing. He was more surprised than anything, given the appearance of the car! Edited April 15, 2016 by pedrosixfour (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glanza_Mike Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 My little Brother for about 1 minute or less. My Dad for about 2 minutes and he kerbed a fucking wheel And my Mrs took it to work once when her car broke and it was literally one of the worst days of my life haha Thankfully it came back unscathed.

Mike2JZ Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Only let one of my good mates drive it. I don't really mind so long as I know the person has got enough assets to compensate me if shit hits the fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebas Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Only my brother for about 50 yards (from one garage to the second), he was really impressed how good it is balanced and nice to drive. My Girlfriend is fully trained bus driver, and she spend more than 40 hrs per week driving buses around MK but she don't feel confident to drive my supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 My dad has around the block once, and my mate has for 5 mins before he bought his tt6. Took him two weeks to get one after his drive lol. My other half did drive my old na around a car park once....she didn't like it, God knows what she would be like in the Tt lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Just my old man a few years back, no one else since. Technically the guy who mapped my car drove it round the block prior to mapping it so I guess he counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianhid Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I'd let anyone drive mine if they were insured and I was happy they weren't going to be a complete tit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Over time, Tom, Dick and Harry have had a go in mine, mostly for curiosity of the Hybrid transmission and flappy-paddle shifting, however, after the supercharger went on, only a trusted few that have experience of similar or more powerful cars.

rider Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I always checked the car mileage when it was valet parked at hotels. When it was a nearly new car the parking attendant at the Ramada in Reading was salivating over it. I said to him he could take it for a spin if he had time on his way around to the parking garage. The garage was 250 yards away, the car did 37 miles. Its only a car after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Just me. My mum's on the insurance so I asked her to take it to the MOT for me in December but she was too scared to drive it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
