Support truck thrown in free

Complaining that a Supra isn’t very practical is like complaining a sportsbike is too windy, so I won’t go on about its two seats limiting how much a family man like myself can use it. But recently it proved perfectly useable for several two-hour trips to and from Brands Hatch for the final two race weekends of the EnduroKa season. The Supra’s a good long-distance cruiser, and it’s doing high-20s mpg despite significant enthusiasm on post-race drives home. And, thanks to a seat that slides back a long way, I was able to use it to change into my fire-retardent race gear. Who needs a motorhome?

+ It’s a rear-wheel-drive sports car with a straight-six!

Two seats; small boot; no manual option; slides abruptly
