Phil, I thought my post was respectful, if it hasnt been taken that way the I am sincerely sorry.
Now I thought I'd written my post in a way that you would see the humour of you post, and the homour in the retorts.... I don't think you have offended anybody, and if anybody does feel offended they should buy themselves a lolly.
At the end of the day Tangy equates to faster.
No comment....
I am sure the RS4 does many things better than a Supra.
I had a bath in the back of mine once :D

I don't thing you can fit 15 sacks of sand and a wheel barrow in a supra like I did at B&Q the other week. :lol:

I have to say that Supra looks like an absolute Gem! Some nice work there, and no doubt a lot of fun :twisted:

Mate of mine most impressed a few months ago when we blew away a 911 while we had the seats down and a boot full of tools and 2 sets of steps - cool car or what ??
And I've got ladder racks for it too !

Fun looking Supra - nice job - bit of a plod magnet though ....

get an RS4 - you KNOW it makes sense !

Have you had any serious enquiries on your Supra? Had one in the US and really enjoyed it.

The RS4 is a great daily drive, my favourite car yet. Not as much fun as my 996, lacks handling edge of my old Evo VIII but now it is getting cold and damp you cannot ask for much more on crowded crumbling roads round my way.

wow what mods have been done to that then, and how would the reliability be effected??? I wonder what the owner would be looking for money wise?

I have the TRD plate LSD and it is much better than the Torsen. I use 295/35/18 PS2 rears. The car also have RLTC for wet weather

The man in question has been contacted and will respond if he's still thinking about selling.

I believe all the usuall 500+hp mods. Heads, Manifolds, turbos, Exhaust, fueling etc etc. Knowing this guy its no cheap job. I'd say more but I only heard from another source so I don't want to give specific details.

You'd be looking at over £40K with that milage and mods the car is barely run in! :twisted:
