The Story Well this all started what my next door neighbour was looking for a cheap car to do the daily commute to work and back, as he wanted someone with some mechanical knowledge as a sounding board before he put his had up, I agreed to stat going to auctions with him. I think we went to 2-3 auctions without actually buying anything, allot of tyre kicking and poking round cars was involved but know actual bidding of any kind. On the next outing I had, almost sub consciously, noticed there was a Supra listed on the website before we went, not really thinking anything of it we went to auction. Guess what my fried didn't buy anything yet again but... when the supra came round I had a look and it sounded ok, no blue smoke or rattles, bidding stalled at £450, so I stuck my hand in the air without thinking and bid £500, that was it I had just bought a 1992 Toyota Supra.... The Car The Nasty sprayed (black) wheels where one of the first things on my "Change list" ....
All in all she wasn't in bad shape for a 15 year old £500 car, not running quite as it should be at this point, some simple investigation reviled that there was / had been some cooling issues. We will see what's in store in the future! |
