johnyboy1976 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 If you can afford a loan mate then thats for you to decide Only reason id not get a GT4 is that you had a nightmare last time constantly worrying that it was going to break. Even though im not a fan myself why not go for a Supra ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnyboy1976 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 No SS on a supra - engine and gearbox virtually bombproof - just the fuel costs but on a GT4 they are going to be high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyper-wrap Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 easy to win the lottery, just need to ask for a WINNING ticket when you go buy one. Fact. Anyway, a Supra TT will bum your head off petrol wise, an extra 1000cc makes a difference haha. People keep telling me to buy a sensible car for during the week, but I see it like this: I find my job mundane, I don't like how much of my life gets eaten up by it...so if I have NO choice in it, I might as well enjoy getting to and from it in something I love, which is my Celica! Would rather spend the extra petrol money (currently setting me back £75 a week atm) and enjoy it all, knar warra mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
