In the 90's I did something very stupid. I was listening to the Beastie Boys (which makes it their fault) while driving my Toyota Supra Japanese import down a country road. It was an awesome ride - all black, big whale tale, loads of power and massive tyres - with NO ABS.
I was going too fast and things took a turn for the worse when I arrived on a section of road covered in wet clay from a tractor crossing, just as a fully laden 12-ton truck came the other way. That was the end of my Supra and any illusion that I "knew everything about driving".
The thing I remember most about that Supra was that it was very responsive to the throttle and it didn't take much to get the tail wagging - AND it was HEAVY.. so stopping it took some work and lighter hatches could make mince meat of you on the brakes. I loved my Supra but it was a bit of a beast and not exactly the type of car I expected Jimmy Broadbent - Sim Racer extraordinaire and Praga racing champion - to be playing around with.
The fact that Jimmy doesn't seem phased by the Supra is a source of admiration and concern for me! Either he doesn't know that the Supra wants to eat him alive... or maybe he's a bit of a dark horse and knows more about tuning that I gave him credit for.
The only way to find out was to go on track with him. Getting him to ride with me was a tougher proposition...
The Toyota Supra Mk IV - a la Broadbent - a mighty fine machine and Japanese models seem to be gaining traction with collectors sooooo.....
