Hi from the UK. I'm Dave and thought i would join after using the forum a couple times since buying my Yaris two weeks ago. After my VW Camper, which i use to use daily, decided to blow up its gearbox i needed a run around which would get me from kent to essex 3-4 times a week. My mum had a Gen1 Yaris which when she traded in had done 400,000 miles and was still going strong.
As my username states i do love a toyota and for the lat 10 years have owned and built/rebuilt a Mkiv Supra which is purely for the drags strip now.
Couple things ill be posting over next day or two including bits i want to do to the Yaris in the next month or so including cruise control and AUX connection.
but for now Hi!

Welcome! Looking forward to hearing more about your Yaris upgrades. In '96 on a road trip I was driving by a Toyota dealership and noticed - for the first time - the Supra Turbo. I popped in and an obliging salesman gave me a tour despite the fact that I told him I could never afford purchasing it. I think he was as excitied as I was and probably happy to show it to anyone interested. No test drive unfotunately. :frown: Haha.

Welcome. What year was your VW Camper - love those things, all years. Supra's are almost as cool as a Yaris :cool:. The Yaris is fun in its own, tiny, yet feels big on the inside, yet still a go-cart, way.

Post some pics of all 3.
