Soop Dogg Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Went and picked this up today. Been wanting one for a while now since I had an old '75 model a few years back. Didn't think I could manage a 50th Anniversary model though - well chuffed! Head up display, active handling, lots of gauges with all sorts of buttons to play with! AND on the 250 mile journey home it did over 33mpg - from 5.7 litres! Does 0 to 60 in about 4.4 secs too so no slouch. Unfortunately the Supras will have to go up for sale in the spring to be able to pay for it now! What a car the Supra has been though. It was a real predicament to figure out what to go for as I've been in Supras for 5 1/2 years - usually I have had cars for about 6 months before boredom sets in, but I stuck with the Supras for longer than anything I've ever driven. But as alot of you know, I figured the time had come to move on. And (IMHO) what a thing to move on to! What do you think? (I'll be taking better pics in the daylight on Saturday) :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 What a good looking beast. I hope to see it for real some day. Oooh, yes, Phil. I'll still be about here - there are too many people here that I have come to know very well to be just disappearing into the sunset all of a sudden! If you have no objection, I'll maybe bring it along to a meet sometime. (Angie will be in her Supe for while yet!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvershark44 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Get some better wheels for it, I dont think the racer style will suit such a car. Very cool though, and rare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 A guy at work owns one of these. He has supercharged it (app. the only one in the country) He had to take it to germany for mapping. Goes like stink! Running 700bhp. Enjoy, lovely looking car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Nice car - BUT...! Is it faster than a Supra, or what?! It's got a V8...who cares how fast it goes! 0-60 it'll whip a BPU and I know that ultimate performance is not what Soop wants...cruising thru France will be a joy in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
