The new car until my job sorts itself out

[jon5698]

Well my plans for a supra tt have been put on hold due to me being put back on a 3 day week at work, i was looking for something rare decent on fuel and fun and i can say this ticks all the boxes. It is a 1999 fiat barchetta 22k from new with full service history and every mot since import. I am chuffed to bits with it and it is very good on petrol as well, 100 miles and it has only just dropped to 3/4 of a tank! and it only costs £35 to fill the tank, no more v power plus i dont feel the need to thrash the tits off it everywhere i go. I got the car on monday and 4 hrs into ownership i managed to rip the rear screen so i had to order a new one from america. Looks like it will be summer next year when i am back in a jap car.

there u go jon lol

Cheers fellas unfortunatly i wont be getting a supra just yet, with me getting my new job and being on a lot more money i am loking at moving out of home in the next few months, and to get the supra in the back yard will require me to pull down the old back wall/garage door and fit at least a 7.5-8.5ft garage door as well as widening the car port which will cost a lot of money. So the supra is still on hold for now but i am thinking of either another gt or a gt4. Thanks for the link

Looking forward to seeing what you buy

[MattyCD]

I gotta admit Barchettas turn me on slightly

probably because they are convertibles

[Sparky]

Gaaayyyy ^^^

[MattyCD]

Gaaayyyy ^^^

Its the same as having a Starlet, just the novelty of NOBODY having a clue what car you own.

[Sparky]

Still, gaaayyyy
