Dan, Take it from an old git

when i say been there done that! As i expect many of us on here trying to run from being classed as middle aged have!:D
I remember well when i had my first black 620ti i was 23ish, I spent far, far too much money on it. It was a fairly new model on the market and not the normal rover turbo model to get the modified treatment so i had autofashions make me a bodykit (my cars still on their website now) I had one of the first sets karn rsr`s in the country. I had a mate at an engineering company make me bespoke parts etc.. You get the idea. It was my absolute baby and like yourself when i was out at the cinema etc i was unable to relax and enjoy myself not nesasarily because i though it was going to get nicked (It had a cat 1 sigma alarm plus a toad power key) It was the thought that some gelous fukwit was going to key it or such like. I though whats the point of having it - just sell it! But i had poured my soul into it! So i bought a 1000cc fiat panda for a few hundred quid to trogg about in. My mum and i went halves on the insurance as a second car it was about

I agree with russ , i have an 11 year old 4x4 that i use and dont really care what happens to it , its got scuffs where other people have knocked into it and a scratched bumper where i was hit in a car park .It weighs over 2 tons empty so if people want to hit it fine they will damage themselves more .I put diesel in it and MOT it every year and thats about it and i think in 5 years i washed it once , i does a great job of getting me from A to B. The Camaro on the other hand gets the garage and the money spent on it as i will never find another one . If you can keep the Supra and get a cheap run about do that .

12mpg!?

Have you considered fixing it?

Seriously though you should be able to get 20 out of it.

Maybe the lambdas had it and its not doing its thing in cruise? or there's a hole in your fuel tank :/
