[paulrhodes]

Out of interest.. Do you do any racing in your MR2? :P

Nice car (imho) if the stickers were removed.

Dave, I think it's at the bottom of the prom next to where the trams turn around in Blackpool. (though I could be wrong).

Agreed though, nice car.

Nice, but taking off the stickers would be an improvement! It's too messy with them on!

Thanks for all the comments,the pictures were taken at Stargate car park up at the South Shore end,not a huge fan of cars covered in stickers but with what its had done to it under the bonnet and its slightly unusual livery,it just seems to work,i wont be doing a shopping list down the side thats for sure.

If ypou do a shopping list, make sure it says bread, milk, sugar, etc, like the infamous supra! i miss my tubby

[theskippy7]

How did you find the supra by the way,i nearly went for one a couple of years ago but though they were a bit heavy so got an RX7 instead.Now there a stunningly awsome car.

[Blue Meanie]

never had one. I had a black rev 3 turbo.

There's a cheeky elephant hiding in your engine bay, I think.

[theskippy7]

Lol,ive got a sweet little toy hiding at the end of its trunk,its an ARC cold air induction system.Thats the only problem MR2,s have,with it being mid-engined,getting air into it.

Those intakes always remind me of the Millenium Falcon for some reason....

[Enrico Cadilac]

Nice car. Not normally a fan of all the stickers but I think it works well in this instance.


My own '2 is having a makeover just now, as a new member I look forward to revealing her in all her glory next week for your appraisal.

[shadowninja]

Ah, thought as much.

BTW which Rev is it? I can't tell them apart. I used to have a Rev 3 Turbo. Was impressed, especially as I used to think they were a bit... well... girlie. Damned quick (even by my standards). The handling isn't as bad as the press made out either. I was really pushing it in the wet and it was very controllable. Cornering was very good, too. Great cars.

[theskippy7]

Mines a Mk2 rev3 putting out 320bhp and 60 coming up in just under 5secs,the tail end can be a bit of a handful and twitchy at times,and with the turbo not kicking in till 4k rev it makes for some interesting but fun times in the wet,hehe,its very similar to an RX7 i used to have with 350bhp,but with the tubby being shorter and the power being right over the wheels it snaps away a bit quicker,but equally as controlable.
Do you not fancy getting another one?This is the 3rd ive owned,keep going and trying other Jap stuff but keep coming back to Mister 2,s.

[shadowninja]

Ah, cool. Mine probably had around 265bhp. It was interesting in the wet, but no more dangerous than a TVR.

As for another, if I had a multiple garage then I would but I don't and want to try other cars...

[Martin_Bpool]

Very nice, I'll have to look out for you around Blackpool

[theskippy7]

Interesting in the wet,there awsome in the wet,if they have a fault its there a bit too short,so snaps away pretty quick!
