Is This Sad?

Or insecure? I dunno.

 

When I'm in my 2nd car, a rusty old M reg 1.1 Fiesta I always think I bet this person behind me is thinking "Tramp" or the person puilled up alongside me etc. I hate not being in the Soop but its not practical putting so many miles on it with work.

 

Soooo should I put my membership stickers (the owners club ones) on the windows or would it look daft or do you think ppl would understand!?!?

I feel similar so I know what you mean. My cars been gone for over 4 weeks at the minute and im driving a 1.4 diesel 106 which is slower than the works van on 200k miles! Its terrible, really is. You change gear and it knocks and clangs etc and I have spotted soooo many other supras while im in the 106 where as I never used to see any in the supe other than the odd 1.

 

I suppose the plus point is I get 300 miles to 20 quid in the 106 lol.

 

Last thing, the 106 isnt mine, a mate has lean't it me till I get mine back so I dont have a 2nd car as such. As for mileage, mines just hit 135k km so I guess thats around 80 - 85k miles? And I probs do around 10k per year. Since I have had the supe I have never been able to get out of it, most days I just go for random drives all over the place, never experienced a car like it before. What Im getting at, I dont think mileage really effects the supe if it is maintained and serviced well etc so you should try not to worry about it.

 

Take it easy, and if you see a nob in a 106 flashing supes it will be me lol I usually just get the WTF look lol

I wouldn’t worry about what people think about you! Anyway have you ever seen some old fiesta or escort etc do something silly and you go bloody old banger then you realise it’s actually newer than your Supra. Personally I wouldn’t put the stickers on it but that’s just me.

My astra diesel is woth £60 with an empty tank and £100 with full.

 

I often go to work in it when the weather is shite and can't use the bike or don't want to wake up the supra.

 

Does it make me less of a man?

A eunich?

An android?

A polypod? Amoeba?

 

.......should I care?..........
