;D yay just got home, not slept yet. kind of drained and psyched, me and a friend made a big long haul trip through wales stopping at various places along the way, and it ended in wrexham with me taking ownership of a lovely....
Ma61 supra, white, a bit rough around the edges, but i just like em so what the hell, taxed and tested, missing the all important cool wheels and is on the horrible toyota minivan sort, but I'm going to locate some of the good ones asap. no pictures yet cos i don't have a digital camera to quickly snap and upload.
Oh yeah digital speedo (that doesnt work) and brown interior. are awesome haha.
nowhere to park it, completely out of money, need to sleep. yet feel very chuffed

somewhere in between, wheels of the top one, arches of the bottom. need the wheels like the bottom picture. engine is an odd feeling one, thought there would be more low down grunt, seeing as its a 2.8. but it really needs to be revved but it picks up and goes alright.
next stop. modification

Top purchase, they must be one of the best value classics out there. This bloke: Supraman 07753 963266 has piles of MA61 rims, but I suspect the AE86 boys have hiked the price up a bit too much lately. Pay a bit extra and get yo'self a set of Konig Rewinds!

yeah to be honest i cant belive these don't cost more than they do, i mean mines got a fewmonths of tax and test left, the cars not perfect, but the price i paid i don't care its just unbelievably cool. things ive noticed are, that it appears to handle itself quite nicely whilst at the same time being ridiculously comfy,
Things i will be changing, the steering wheel (its a bit buslike), timing belt to be on the safe side, clutch slave cylinder needs replacing. and it has got a bit of rust and stuff. but i dunno its just still worth so much more than what i paid.
ah so excited.
other things to note, driving across mid wales you come across some of the best driving roads ive ever seen, better than any track day (aside from the tree's and stone walls to hit)

Congrats, sounds fantastic. not checked prices for a while, they were cheap. why? i don't get it, more importantly why hasn't more of us bought one? Maybe i just answered my own question!!! Great, looking forward to seeing this one

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts
