SupraAyf Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Right Fella's, I always used to think when I was on my travels, just how rare Supe's are compared to the likes of Porsche and other varieties of fast cars. Well, today, I decided to count them all for myself. Yes, I agree, a few of you may be muttering the words "social life" and "must get one" under your breath but my journey was long and I needed something to pre-occupy my simple mind. Route was from Portsmouth to Chelmsford via the M25 and A12 and then A12, M25 (Jct 4) to A232 (Croydon) and down the A3. Mileage was about 280 and the journey time was 8 hours because of the shit traffic: Well here are the results: 1 Porsche 60 2 Celica 22 3 MR2 17 4= RX8 14 4= Scooby 14 6 350Z 6 7= FTO 5 7= S2000 5 7= Aston 5 10= GTO 2 10= Skyline 2 10= Ferrari 2 10= Supra MkIII 2 14= TVR 1 14= Lotus Esprit 1 14= Maserati 1 14= Nobel M12 1 14= Bentley 1 14= RX7 1 14= Supra Mk4 1 21= Evo 0 21=300ZX 0 22 The number of times I almost crashed my wife's car when counting the above: 67 I may even grow up to be one of those traffic monitors in a few years; after all, I'm only going on 35 at the moment:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Sounds about right. You did well to see some Skylines, but no surprise to see no Soarers or Aristos on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Any vettes?

steb9780 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I can't believe you didn't see any Evo's, they're getting as common as Impreza's now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_karkie Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 If any of you fancy starting your own business and know a lot about import laws then I would suggest coming to spain and importing supras, the young spanish males love their cars and I have only seen 1 supra here in Marbella in a year and a half. I will be importing the 2nd soon. There are thousands of Porsches, even saw for the first time a Koenigsegg, had never heard of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
