Hi there; been browsing the forum for a while and thought it was about time that I registered and introduced myself.

Will come straight out of the closet ....... I prefer the JZ's ....... and I'm British ...... so please be gentle.

Been living in China for 10 years but still manage to visit the UK every now and again where I currently have 3 Soarers.

A 93 TT which is the daily driver (well for a couple of months every year).
A 95 3.0 BoB which will be the NA-T project car for my retirement (in a couple of years).
A 96 Single turbo VVTi, the Keeper.

Here are some pictures.

Welcome Chris88,

I follow you on Soarer World, daily (Feel like you're being stalked!) hah Hah.

This guy is one of the most helpful (and funny buggers) on Smiffies Forum.

Welcome to Soarer Central, and may you stay long!

SC is one of, if not the busiest forums for Soarers in the known universe..................A wealth of info is to be found within it's pages.



PS; Buy a V8, to add to the stable (Yeah right, like that's gonna happen!)

Thanks Don; did try to register on SC with the same user name but maybe I've been registered before or someone else already has it as it would'nt let me.

I realised that SC (and Australia in general) is pretty much in favour of the V8. I doubt that I would ever buy one myself but they are a great source of body panels for the TT

Hmm i wouldn't completely disregarding owning a V8 model Chris! There's something particularly gratifying about owning a V8 model. Maybe because it feels like a true Japanese muscle car, rather than the sports car that is the TT. That said, it has to have an opened up exhaust and fat tyres on the rear to feel like a muscle car, otherwise it's just a highway cruiser.

Just a wind-up Rory, certainly would'nt want to open a V8 v TT debate, especially when so outnumbered.

There is no debate, they're both awesome cars, fun for different reasons but still damn cool. I had a v8 auto and loved it now I have a TT manual and it's totally different, they just look the same.

Couldn't resist and had to buy this V8.

Mainly bought it because it's #1821, AFAIK one of only 4 after #1800 in the UK, but being Black-on-Black certainly helped me along.

Here's a shiny picture

Congrats. Read about it the other day and was suitably impressed. Nice vehicle!
