evinX Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Must of happened to a few of us, i remember googling something like spotted supras years ago and remember a tourist was car spotting in london and saw a supra amongst many other cars. When i purchased mine in 2013 and came across the same picture again i realized i just bought that car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I bet it's pretty rare for that to happen, very cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yep organised I organised a local convoy to a meet and Colin brought mine along way before i owned it, I then got to know Colin and saw the car a fair few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I got my first Supra from a guy who imported it himself and he lived at Western Supermare, since I brought it back to the North East its been like pass the parcel in the local area every few years its changed owner and usually colour and engine its probably been all the colours of the rainbow and has had N/A-Turbo-V8 configurations over the years. Its a real Slag of a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I was stood in front of mine in this photo and next to mine at the time. Didn't know until after I bought the new one but I was commenting about how tidy it was and how I wanted my car to be like that one (apart from the veilside front)... Weeeirrd.

Alex_GT Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I don't think I'd like seeing a car before I owned it. It's just weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yes. I saw it advertised 2 years before I bought it. Set off to go and get it then got call from dealership that it was sold. 2 years later I was looking and saw the exact same supra. Called the guy...turned out it was him who beat me to the dealership. He was amazed I remembered it and gave me a good deal and turned out to be a really nice guy and really looked after it.

add heywood Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Me and my rx7 have crossed paths loads... Booked an appointment to go view the rx7 as I was going down south to most certainly buy it. Then Jurgen sent me a pic of my white supra in Japan so I cancelled. When I bought my supra from jm imports the invoice letterhead had the rx7 as the picture (as it was there old demo car) About 3 days after buying it, went into asda and was bored whilst the mrs was shopping so looked through the posters and there was the rx7 id just bought on one of them lol. Think it was fate that I would own that car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Saw mine the very first day it hit the road, brand new Sept. 1st 1995. My mate owned it and took me out for a spin, 5 yrs later I purchased it from him and still own it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 well mine has been in the family for a while so used to see it wasting away under a car cover for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Jackson Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 well mine has been in the family for a while so used to see it wasting away under a car cover for years. That can't have been anything other than painful to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev.O Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I remember seeing mine in a village where I was working at the time, and it wasn't until I went to view the car I realised I'd seen it about 12 months previously as I recognised the unusual personal plate (prior to the owner removing it).
