Cool, Where are you getting yours from? I notice you are in Devon, I looked at a red one near Barnstaple, with a silver sticker along the bottom of the door. Mint Car (except for the sticker).

Ribenaberry Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 I got it! And it is excellent! I really love this car and I have only owned it for 12 hours. I will get some pictures in my Garage as soon as i can take them. The only annoying things are The CD Changer skips like hell. I am putting this down to the excellent stiff suspension on the car. Secondly, possibly more worrying, is that there is white steam coming out the exhaust, well after you would expect it to be after starting. I rang my father who is a mechanic, he says it is probably just that the car has not been used in a long time due to being in the showroom and that the cats need to dry out properly. But he told me to ask on here as he is not a Toyota Specialist. Can anyone help? But luckily, if the above is a major drama, i can just whip the car back to the guy who sold it to me as i have a 3 month warranty. Feels good to be a card (Car??)

Ian W Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 congratulations mate, and can't wait to see those pics. get them up asap. regarding the steam, your dad is probably right so take it for a good run and get the engine/exhaust nice and warm...then just keep an eye on it and see if it keeps happening within the first few weeks (given you have a three month warranty as you say).

Ribenaberry Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 I was going to take some pics of the supra at lunchtime but some inconsiderate git has blocked me in with his little green 206, (Don't get me wrong I like the 206, our other car is a 206 Convertible, hence me buying the Supra to feel more manly) So I left him a note telling him to be more considerate and that when i found him we would have words, however, as I have no actual power in my workplace I might have to just threaten him with physical violence.
