Thank you sir - yes, I am quite particular about that heh. My second white one with the kit was particularly tidy, so I might look at getting my current car sprayed in the same 'super-gloss white' at some stage :-)

Yeah, a story I've had to explain numerous times lol. Getting the aerotop just before turning 15, I underestimated the cost involved with doing a TT + 6-speed swap, hence selling it for the 'manual' in which I would just need to convert to TT... Realizing the limitations of the gearbox over 400hp I was back to square one and decided to sell it for the red auto RZ-S which, once again, I came back to reality in terms of what would have to be done in order to just get it up to a standard RZ 6-speed spec Supra (and in the end, not even being a genuine one) - not even factoring in the small brakes and small open diff.

In the end I just decided to start with a car that covered all the bases I was looking for (I.e. 6-speed, twin turbo, big brakes, big torsen LSD, OEM skirts and end caps) + not to mention all the other goodies that came with it :)

Haha I like the evolution/progression from n/a auto > n/a manual > turbo auto > turbo manual.
If you're going to get it resprayed IMO you should go for something different. You've already had white, silver and red, why not go for a solid gloss black :D

Yeah, I got to experiment with all bases, so I'm not complaining :)

I reckon you're onto something, I've always loved black Supras - just me being an OCD type of person, I think I would just go nuts trying to keep it clean... Although that would be first pick otherwise, I definitely am not ruling black out though. Gunmetal is a pretty cool color... Although a metallic 'Mazda 2 green' type could be interesting as well... or Candy-apple red... Ooh, options :)

Theres certainly alot of different colours out there, i like alot of the new cars that are coming out in factory colours that would look sweet on alot of other cars.
