LOL 
Nope, a dealers doing all the hard/leg work so I've got an easy ride, means I pay a bit more than if I did it myself but the car is exactly what I'm looking for so I don't mind too much

With a car like the Supra, there's no room for error, i know what you mean
Send me an email once you get it to arrange to go for some spirited driving
I'll tell my mate with the Supra to come too.

Justin - was wondering - your top 3 cars then, Supra is one (good one
), I assume Skyline is another, so whats the 3rd.
And guys - no more digs about the Soarer in this thread please

Oh baby will be interesting to see how you find it in day to day use. I'm currently toying with various ideas, did look into supra & skyline & now also toying with RX7, evo & still a fav of STi5 type R. I did want a manual & finding ideally a UK maual supra is a bleedin mission at the best of times & might prove difficult to fit in garage but still tempted & will see how you find it I do luv the interior of the sup & the RX7 & even to a lesser degree the older evos where the dash is angled at the driver but hey i've only actually managed a play in the type R so far & i no i'm a shyte driver 
lol so 4 wheel drive still has a big + factor for me but having said that i do rather fancy a 2 door sports car while i dont need to cart a family around.
Si (watching with interest (mostly
))

LOL XT, our own forum you say, wheres that email webmaster button
Si - I considered all those cars, Evo is not in my book a daily driver, I'd take a 6, but small fuel tank, rock hard suspension, and short service intervals count that out. The RX - very thirsty, and an expensive rebuild around 70-80k. Why do you need a UK Supe? There not much difference at all, spool up on the Japs is faster, and the Uk just has slightly longer legs - which you'd rarely get to use. Theres a fair few Jap manuals around. And most UK's I've seen have much MUCH more mileage than the japs have on them. You don't need AWD - if your bothered just slap Racelogic on it
Cheers Paul, I am too! LOL!

u aint seen me driving have ya lol But yeah tiz true the evo is harsh but sod it the bottom line is i want fastest toy i can get hands on, with a number of other less important factors which will make my mind up, & will still end up usind for carp little drives to work in the week also 
RX7 is a bit of an unusual one from wot i can tell but does look boss & looking on autotrader etc is quite cheap although more level with 2.5k set aside for a rebuild Will investigate further...
Supra is funky & i was just looking ideally for a UK manual as well i dont want an auto & having red mk4 board found the UK sup did have a few bonuses which as u say aint spectacular but just from an insurance point of view wood compensate for the higher asking price! Nice to find a UK car better spec'd than the nip uns thou 4 a change
I'm not looking to buy till October end or so (end of insurance year so i can potentially get cover on import oh & shuda saved enuff cash ontop of UK scooby by then) i have a healthy amount of time to have a play in them all & c wot really lights my fire but i dop luv the type R even thou a m8s evo 7 RS feels quicker & harsher STi still gives me a tingle lol
