very delayed introduction...

[an_unusual_eye]

i just wanted to take a minute (a couple years after registering) to say "hi".

i've also updated my garage with a few pictures and some general details.

my name is rob, and i have an addiction.

i've been around z-cars for quite some time, and i think that i've "met" many of you either online through ebay or zcar.com, or even in person (carlisle import show/datsuns at the glen, etc.) over the years.

looking forward to meeting more of you as time goes by, and learning more every day about the addiction that plagues us all.

best ~ rob.

Hi Rob! Did I judge your Supra in the Standard of Excellence at Carlisle this year?

hi chuck... surely did. small world. regrettably, as of last week i've put that car on the market. had to "flip a coin" between putting the supra or the z up for sale after i was informed that i wasn't permitted to sell any of the kids, and the z is more a member of the family...

Any pics of the Supra?

Any pics of the Supra?

sure thing...

i put this one and one other in the "garage" here... but the car has perhaps the best internet presence of any mark I supra in the world.

she's on wikipedia, she hangs out in the garages on 2 (now) z-car forums and the celica supra forum, she was in a article in the detroit news a couple years ago, and the previous owner had a car domain page that was still up for the car when last i checked. add in a current craigslist add on the raleigh, nc page, and chances are pretty good that if you put "1981 supra" into any search engine, the car will come up in the top few images.

Cool. It's definitely rare to see a Mk1 in such great and original shape!

thank you... it does seem like they've pretty much just disappeared.

Nice Supra AUE! Yeah, can't say I have ever seen a Mk1 Supra in person but there is one for sale here in Austin and looks really clean. Not sure if the owner means his is just the first Supra or is the first one every made. Either way, looks good.

thanks! yep... the one in austin has been on the market for a REALLY long time. looks like a good example and a well preserved car. i suspect that if it was a 5 speed instead of an automatic, he'd have sold it long ago. he's a full 2 years late to be the actual 1st car off the line (1979 model), so first generation is his intent there i guess.
