Newbie saying hi

Post by The Raven »

Hello fine people, newbie from Kent here!


Im just on my way to pick up a rev1 Jspec tbar auto. Im the proud owner of a MKIV aero top supra, however its having alot of work done and i need a run around. I found a UK spec for £350 and brought it.

It was faded behond pink! However i cut it back and it looked nice when i was done. Thinking my Supra would be ready i sold it to my bro in law who loves it like it was a small child.

Alas my Supra still isnt running correctly so the need for a run around crossed my mind. I have found a Jspec Tbar in my village and got the price down to £350 due to some damage on the wing and front bumper.

So once again im in a MR2. Thought id join up and post some pics but the board does not seem to let me until i get a few more posts under my belt.

Well that was a death trap!

The car had been brought diect from the insurance company, no idea on if its a cat d or c, The seat was broken and wouldnt come back under its own power.

Worse still both seatbelts where broken no matter how hard i pulled on them they wouldnt bite. I think its had a very hard front ender.

Do one of those text checks, it should give you the write off category.

What's the plan then? Keep or find another?
