| Yeah same here Dave.. but I decided to keep some of the black Sorry to hear about your Soarer Naveen. I'm sure I've come across a few black on black JZZ31's when I was looking for my TT a while back. What about a red on black?! They're quite nice.. |

| like this scares me, i have only 3rd party insurance, and i have confidence in my driving, but not in others and looks like its a big risk these days taking 3rd party insurance |

| so are black on black Soarers hard to come by? I have a black on black Jzz31, great car, looks sexy (when its clean) but yeah it gets hot and is a bitch to keep clean.. Sorry to hear about your car man, its always when stuff like that happens because someone else doesnt know the road rules.. |

| well i got to wait till the insurance gets back to me on how much they would offer for a partial write off and if its worth it i'll get the car back and sell the parts off because the interior and engine is immaculate just did the 100,000 service 3 days before |

You might be surprised at how good a Celsior or Aristo can be, My choice over a Soarer to be honest - these cars have the extra practicality which I really saw when looking at two JZZ30 TT's recently A TT Aristo would probably suit you best after having a TT soarer... |

| hi mike, I am considering either of those choices. Have to see how much pay out the insurance company wants to give me first. Its hard cant really justify either for the limited amount of driving it will do as its a second car to a new hilux which we use for most weekend and long range driving. Soarer was doing 2000ks a year past 3 years will have to see what happens all family were fine, goes to show how well built and safe they are |

| Stuart i dont want to appear rude, but are you sure it wasnt your last chance at driving a sexy car that was 'killing her'? I have been putting my boy in and out from 0-3years with no prob in fact i reckon its easier than in a four door. Sorry to hear about your car, and good to see that as usual the soarer was wasted rather than the occupants. |
