DrivingTheDream Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 In Newcastle city centre who was smoking outside a bar was having a good look at my car when I was at a set of lights and asked me to wind window down. He asked what is was first (quite standard question) so I told him then we had a little chat and explained how fast, what size engine etc then he asked, "Is it a brand new model, I've never seen one of those before" So I dropped the bombshell it was 14 years old. The guy nearly collapsed lol. "What you keep it in mothballs or summit!?" Supra=Still got the looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said no almost 14years old. He thought i was jokeing. I Don't really like talking about my car to other people, I always think they might be thinking 'Cocky Bastard' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 A couple of weeks ago I was outside having a smoke and admiring my stonechips when this guy who works at our place says "Your car?" Yeah. Nice. Fast eh? Yeah not bad. Then he said "My colleague was telling me that they only made 150 of those. Amazing that there's two of them right here, isn't it?" (Suprash's being the other one) Well it's a few more than 150 actually mate. Really? How many? Just over forty three thousand actually. He looked well disappointed! (Apparently his colleague had been having a nosey round my car and thought it was a UK TT6, cos of the bonnet scoop I presume) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I have had a few people ask about it at the petrol station etc. The supra really is a timeless design and the only give away is the reg number; I really need a private plate to hide the age.

Specially the school children who give me thumbs up and start squeeling ay the mere side of me passing. Or people at our local shop running outside to see me pass.

The Raven Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 O dear time to bring the thread down. Picking up my Sisters little lad (who loves the soop) from school the other day one of his mates comes out with his mum sees the Supra and says "mum mum look look its one of those cars!" Im stood next to it looking smug till the mum replys "No thats not an aston, *Looks closier * its a........a.......Toyota" Still fooling 7 year olds will do for now least they dont ask if its a TT and make me feel even worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtylerroberts Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 The power of the supra. I life on the Isle of Man and about three years ago I went down to the prom during the TT. There was almost as big a crowd around the car as there was watching the topless ladies going back and forth on the back of bikes. Ageless design that will always look great. Love em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supradoopa Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I hate it when people think i've said Subaru because they've never heard of the Supra, or the other good one "my Golf would keep up with that, it's only a 2 litre" WTF no clue what so ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 someone also once claimed my Supra was a hairdressers car outside the same school I drive past one particular hairdressers every day. Someone who works there drives a very nice white facelift. They seem to work part time (either that or it's a customer who gets their hair cut about 3 times a week!)
