Guest SupraTTesp Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi Just saying Hola to everyone. My " Better Half " and Me are living in the " So Called " Sunny part of Spain called Costa Blanca with our Supra TT and Supra NA having great Fun Racing around with No Camera's to Spoil the enjoyment. Only real downside is that most roads outside the main towns don't have Drains - Just Dirty Great Trenches so you have to be a little more careful around the Bends. They never sold the Mkiv in Spain so every Toyota Dealership Love's to see us and I must say the Service has been Excellent with all parts available (not always off the shelf) quite quickly and priced the same as UK but in Euro's so about a 30% saving and with Labour at about 30 Euro's an Hour. So If you want to have some real Road Fun - Bring your Supra to Spain and you might( not at the moment - Last week has been overcast everyday - Blessed Climate Change - With Temp at 22 C) have some Warm SUN for Free. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDO Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Robert, if you do drive down, let me know your route and how much the tolls are on the n62! My Dads place is up in San Miguel by the salt lakes.. just round the corner from villa martan and campamore golf course.. If you do drive let me know how it goes, as i am planning to drive down in sept' and could use any helpful tips! (and yes i know they drive on the right!!!!).

Guest SupraTTesp Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Blimey what a small world!!! It seems that everyone's been to our neck of the woods here in spain. We live on an Urb. in San Miguel, and our roads would only appeal to those pot-holing enthusiasts who enjoy going down into dark mysterious places... I'm Mrs SupraTTesp, by the way, as Mr SupraTTesp is away in the UK buying a cheap 4x4 and replaycment shocks for my Supra! I was just browsing through various Supra orientated web sites looking at colours for Supras 'cos I've booked mine in for a paint job. I've decided that there are too many silver cars around. I'm thinking, gold, gunmetal or ice blue, any thoughts? Going back to San Mig & Villa Martin, anyone seen the white Supra at El Gallan? Its got 'Twin Turbo' writ LARGE on the sides. In my opinion its like someone with a magnificent bust wearing a sash stating '36DD' Why don't all us owners of the best car ever built get together, perhaps even go for a group drive. The Spanish love processions, they do it all the time. Anyone interested could mail us at [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
