We had our first scary moment earlier, I wasn't paying attention to the road as I played with the heating, and had to stop very quickly at a zebra crossing. The woman shook her head disapprovingly, but I quickly pulled alongside her as she walked and stopped to say sorry. She looked genuinely surprised and grateful that I had stopped to apologise and said so with words, and the world felt like a good place again.

I had a blue tbar with the round lights.
Wonderful cars, so nice to just be in and enjoy the sun it. Bide your time as your summer will leave you with plenty of sunburn.

Glad youre enjoying it op

Great story, read the whole thing. I am exactly the same with R33 Skyline's

Recently passed my test. hopefully I'll be able to own my perfect vision of one soon enough.

[danjama]

Thanks mrbright and deol. It really is just a great place to be. Even 5 miles of traffic was a pleasure.

Congratulations on passing your test recently deol. It's a great feeling. An R33 is definitely on my car wishlist, but I think i'm going to be very happy with this little monster for a long time.

Do you have your first car yet and what is it if so?

[Another Fluffer]

Awesome story, well written.

Off to the classifieds I go...

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it

I forgot to add, if anybody has owned this mr2 or knows of a previous owner or its history, would be great to hear from you!

[John Boy 616]

Ok only got one pic so far so here it is.


As i said nowhere near as clean as yours.

[Baryonyx]

I'm sure you could get rid of the awful bodykit, spoiler and wheels and get it back to standard?

I used to have a Rev 3 MR2 Turbo. Awesome car, very fast, quite comfortable.

I don't mind that at all, it looks in decent enough condition and the colour is lovely. The body kit actually suits it, in a Need For Speed sort of way. Only thing I'm not too keen on is the alloys.

[Serin]

Thats looking really good Dan, I'm glad to see you got one! The later models with the round lights like yours, look much more better and modern to me.

Make sure you polish up your driving on Gran Turismo before you hoon it, Mid Engined cars can be a tad sharp. :P

[Baryonyx]

And be sure to keep it waxed. It should be alright by now, as it looks fine in the pictures, but some of the red ones can fade terribly, with different panels fading at different rates, making it look awful!

Did the track car not inspire you enough


Go Yellow or go home
Would love to drive a non stripped out Mr2 to see how much difference it all makes having an interior around you. Great cars in whatever format though.

That engine just wants to be hammered all the time.

[Mastodon2]

Nice car, but that story was pure schmaltz, sorry!

It worked with my mate that used to browse these pages in an Astra Coupe - he saw your vids and got an MR2 the other week.

His first comment was - Jack is right, it is twitchy!
