Welcome to the wonderful world of Supra ownership, hope it gives you many years of happy, trouble free motoring.

......and welcome to the club btw
Everyone this man very kindly went to look at a car for me in Bristol a couple of weeks ago, and saved me a 180 mile round trip to look at it. I found my supra 50 miles away from my house in the end, a big big thank you. I owe you big styley.

To be fair I was unlucky with the FTO, but towards the end it was tiresome, to the point of paranoia that something would go, and it was ALWAYS electrical. [except the crankshaft failure part over a year ago]

It feels strange being on a supra forum and actually owning a Supra. Almost unheard off, if that makes sense


ooo and white is by far the best colour ever

The worst my FTO managed was the idle control valve going wrong. (Which is a standard ailment)

I'll have to dig some pictures of the old girl out actually. She was white as a white thing from a town called white.

Heh, heh no problem Sabrina, as long as that Supra is putting a smile on your face that's good enough reward for me.
