How cool must it have been to walk into a Toyota showroom in Japan back in the 90's. As you walk in your faced with GT's Glanza's GT4's MR2's Supra's and more. What a stunning range of cars. I love Toyota.

Well technically over here we wouldn't have had the gt or Glanza, but I get what you're saying.

I went into a Toyota show rom with my dad way back in 95 when he bought a hilux for his company, I would have been about 11, sat in a supra and said to myself ' I want one of these one day' gladly I did buy one after I sold my Glanza, and hence why I can't get rid of it! Lol

Yeh its my dads fault im a Toyota nut too. He bought a Supra right when they brought them to the UK in 1993. First one was silver with cream interior but I dont remember it. He crashed it one winter and bought another new one in 95. Both UK specs but the second one was silver with black interior and that one I remember very well as he owned it for 15 years or so. It was his daily lol, he racked up over 180000 miles on it without any major problems. Absolutely phenomenal cars.



He always used to take me to a Japanese Import specialist in Dunblane to let me look around all the Skylines, evos, imprezas etc. Thats when I saw my first GT Turbo. Remember looking in the window, glancing at the 180mph converted speedo and thinking wow it does 180mph! purely because it also said that in the supra ( I was young at the time :p ) so naturally I wanted one.
