My friend from work, the same one involved in the ricer translation thread is also a want to be supra owner but is to freaking lame to go out and buy one. So he is putting a mustang motor in a Conquest instead (whatever, I tried to talk him out of being that fruity)?? Anyways, the two of us made a translation sheet for MkIII supra owner to the rest of the world… My wife thinks it’s funny so I figured I would post it.
