Chrism001 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 As above really, just wondering how many times a year people take their supra out? I probably take mine out 3 times a year max. Its either in bits or never have enough time and always something else to do. Then the 'i dont use it might as well sell it' conversation comes up with the mrs. Curious to know everyone elses situation.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 same, as my work is pretty much manic in the summer , so only tax it for 6 months , this year is the first time in 15 years ive not used it ,changed all the fluids last winter as well . and yes thought of selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Am I the only person that drives my Supra like I stole it? It's off the road at the moment as it's waiting for a UZ swap, but when it was on the road I'd take it out as often as possible and push it to its limits every trip. I legitimately would rather crash it enjoying it than have a driveway ornament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 yes maybe , but as its me only driving in our house I cant be in two vehicles at the same time , and work comes first unfortunatelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Mine gets driven daily and it gets the nuts driven off it until something breaks or I bring it back in for more upgrades. I'd rather use and abuse it then keep it sat away doing nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I drive mine almost every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 3 times this year, one long trip and two short trips, that’s across 2 Sup’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrism001 Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Looks like im in the minority i guess. If i had the time i would have it out every weeknd in the summer months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I use mine on and off between March and November time and stop using it whenever they start chucking grit on to the roads. I just tax it by direct debit each month and cancel it when salt arrives rather than be restricted to the 6 or 12 month rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 During summer once a week ish, then winter maybe once a month. I'm just lazy as it's easier to jump in the other cars than get the supra out of the garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Mines taxed all year. Ive driven it for the ladt couple months as daily and through summer. But ive only got it back after a couple years building thats its had. Will be sitting still when they grit the roads. And will be getting some upgrades over winter to make it a more pleasent drive.

mplavery Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Used to drive at a lot more when I first had it but as time goes on I drive mine less and less .. Had my car for almost 12 years now. I tend to only use it for shows and the odd meet so that most likely be 5-6 times a year .. About 800 miles a year I have other toys/hobbies too. I love going on my bike and soon be getting a track bike, also just started to do Snowboarding now among other things lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainy Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Mine is my daily since I bought it about 8 months ago but the funny thing is looking back, I can probably count on one hand the total amount that the second turbo has been used since I bought it... I Must be getting old I just cruise the old girl everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_harmer32 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I drive mine nearly everyday! Mainly because I like the reactions from people and I'm an attention seeking whore I have a daily but still.choose to drive the Supra most the time.

blythmrk Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Mine are toys I have used my black UK tt6 a few times since I refurbished the rear end I have also used my mkiii turbo auto for a few local runs the issue I have now is leaving my cars unattended. I have used all my cars as dailies when I first bought them but as time goes on I seem to be using them less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Mine was used only a few weeks out of the year before it was taken off the road. Think I’ve covered 1500 miles in 2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysdan Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I done 140mls last year and probably less this year:( But then again I would struggle to get a 1.5 ton drum of cable in the boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Used to use them daily, done well over 100K miles behind the wheels of various Supra's over the years, now I have two they are both on limited 5K mile policies and I try and do as close to that as possible in both but will probably struggle this year. For a number of years now I've had another commuter car they used to be real bangers so I could only last so long before needing a nice car fix, I now have a xc60 which is bland but comfortable and makes sense to use most regular days. But it allows me tackle some tidying jobs and general maintenance and let me take mine time doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
