jon5698 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 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.

MattyCD Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/783381.htmthere u go jon lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Looking forward to seeing what you buy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattyCD Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I gotta admit Barchettas turn me on slightly probably because they are convertibles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
