dangerous brain Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I didn't own that car long enough to become as emotionally attached to it. Also I got so much grief from indoors about that car I had no choice but to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeT Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Mate those are the exact reasons I gave myself for selling my last aerotop. At the time it seemed like the "sensible" thing to do. I have regretted it since. I've been through five cars since and none of them have made me happy. Its needled me since I sold it. I've even been looking at buying another one but can't find one with anywhere near the spec mine was. My advice for what its worth is sit on it and seriously think about what impact this will have on you in a year or so, I'm gutted a year later I really am. I know im going to regret it instantly but if i dont use it, it is just dead money sat there that could be put to good use elsewhere. Ill get myself an EVO or similar for the winter months and im looking for a 600cc sports bike too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 You won't drive an EVO anymore than you do the supra and you'll end up hating the evo for what its not. I have yet to adequately replace my supra and everyday I sit searching for something that will fill the void in my heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to adequately replace my supra and everyday I sit searching for something that will fill the void in my heart The EVO will get driven more just because it is more practical, kids, shopping, commuting etc. I only ever drive the supra now when it is a nice dry day at the weekends when the mrs isn't working so i dont have the kids with me, which is hardly ever:( This is just the right decision for me at the moment.

My advice for what its worth is sit on it and seriously think about what impact this will have on you in a year or so, I'm gutted a year later I really am. I cant agree more!, a year after my Silver car was murdered, not even another Supra ( of much lesser spec) can come close to entertaining me. Every car is plain boring now. Until my super quick 6 speed replacement comes along I just cant get excited about cars. Evo's, mate has a 7, 8 and 9! with 10 on order. Drove them all, fun for a while but soon wears off, handling is good but if you enter a corner very wrong, its tricky to recover and not that hard to spin. The night I bought the Silver Supra he offered me the 7, and i took the std Supra instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent 100% decided on the EVO yet, just want to try something different for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leslie Fair play to you but i have been doing this for 3 years. 0.8 of a mile everyday will do your car no good whatsoever. It will be barely warmed up and off choke. Also a big power car is not so useable as a Bpu+ supra day to day and short distances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
